Sea Shipping from China to Senegal: ECOWAS Certificate and Phytosanitary Checks
Senegal, part of ECOWAS, requires a certificate of origin to benefit from regional trade agreements when importing goods from China. Agricultural products from China must have a phytosanitary certificate issued by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture to prevent the introduction of pests. Senegal prohibits the import of counterfeit goods and certain plastics. The port of Dakar has a customs inspection team that verifies the authenticity of documents and the condition of goods.
