Programme Gabonais d Evaluation de la Conformité (PROGEC) for exports to Gabon.
Exporters/Importers trading with Gabon need to comply with the requirements of the Gabon government’s office, Agence Gabonaise de Normalisation (AGANOR) Conformity Assessment Programme called PROGEC in order for their goods to clear customs. Failure to do so can result in severe delays in goods clearance, penalties, or even shipments being returned.
The requirements for Gabon are:
- Every consignment of regulated imported goods must be accompanied by a Conformity Certificate. Intertek is the only inspection body authorised to issue these certificates.
- Certificates are needed to ensure customs clearance of shipments.
- The Certificate confirms that the products comply with the relevant Gaboni technical regulations, and national, regional, or international standards.
- The authorities in Gabon may take random samples from imported consignments to verify compliance.
