Why FAW Trucks Are a Smart Choice for Togo

FAW (First Automobile Works) is China’s oldest and largest automaker, and its Jiefang heavy truck division has a strong reputation in Africa. For Togolese buyers, FAW trucks offer several practical advantages:

• Left-hand drive availability — Togo drives on the right, and FAW offers LHD configurations for all major models.

• Durable powertrains — Weichai engines and FAST transmissions are known for reliability in hot, dusty conditions.

• Competitive pricing — FAW trucks cost significantly less than equivalent European or Japanese brands.

• Parts availability — FAW has a growing spare parts network in West Africa, with service support in neighboring countries.

• Proven in West Africa — FAW trucks are already operating in Togo and across the region on construction sites, in ports, and on highways.

For fleet owners, contractors, and logistics companies in Togo, FAW is a practical, cost-effective choice.

Togo Import Regulations for FAW Trucks

Before importing a truck into Togo, buyers should confirm the current regulations with a local customs broker. Key points to consider:

Left-Hand Drive Required

Togo drives on the right, so left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles are required. FAW offers LHD configurations for all export models.

Age Limit for Used Trucks

Togo generally allows the import of used commercial trucks, but age limits may apply. Many used trucks up to 10–15 years old are accepted, but buyers should verify the latest rules with Togolese customs. For new trucks, there is no age restriction.

Emission Standards

Euro 2 and Euro 3 models are commonly accepted in Togo. Some buyers prefer Euro 5 for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. Confirm the minimum standard allowed before ordering.

Import Permit and Documentation

Togo requires an import declaration for vehicles. A customs broker in Lomé can handle the paperwork. Typical documents include:

• Bill of Lading

• Commercial Invoice

• Packing List

• Certificate of Origin

• Inspection Certificate (if required)

• Import Declaration

Customs Duty and Taxes

Import duty is calculated on the CIF value of the truck. The exact rate depends on the HS code and vehicle type. In addition to duty, buyers should budget for:

• VAT (18%)

• ECOWAS levy

• AU levy

• Customs processing fees

• Port charges

A customs broker can provide an accurate landed cost estimate before shipment.
