Togo Port Codes and UN/LOCODEs

Togo port codes use the TG country prefix. The final three letters identify the specific city, port entry or terminal record within the UN/LOCODE structure.

TG Prefix and Three-Letter Structure

A Togo UN/LOCODE begins with TG, followed by three letters. Examples in the indexed sample include TGLFW, TGLOM and TGKPE.

City-Level and Terminal-Level Codes

A city-level code may represent a broader transport location, while a separate code can identify a port or terminal record. Shippers should confirm the exact facility required for the bill of lading and booking.

How to Verify a Port Code

Check the official UN/LOCODE framework through UNECE, then compare the result with the Ecer Freight port code directory and the carrier’s booking system.
