Gabon COC Certification (Certificate of Conformity – Pre-Shipment Inspection)

Gabon COC Certification (Certificate of Conformity)

       The Gabon COC (Certificate of Conformity) has been mandatory since August 1, 2015. This certification is a compulsory pre-shipment conformity assessment program implemented by AGANOR (Agence Gabonaise de Normalisation), the Gabonese standards authority. It is now enforced to ensure that consumers in Gabon receive high-quality and safe imported products.

       Exporters and importers trading with Gabon must comply with the PROGEC conformity assessment program requirements of AGANOR to ensure smooth customs clearance of goods. Failure to meet these requirements can result in severe clearance delays, fines, or even the return of shipments.

       AGANOR requires almost all imported products to meet mandatory safety requirements and relevant standards (except for products on the exemption list). Every imported consignment must comply with PROGEC requirements.
