摘要

Benin's and Togo's role as hubs for unofficial as well as legitimate transit trade derive from location advantages, Togo's deep-water port, historical trading relationships, artificial national borders separating groups with close ethnic ties, and above all the lure of the highly protected Nigerian market. Togo competes at a geographical disadvantage to Benin for access to the Nigerian market and compensates by offering lower prices, largely in the form of lower transit taxation. While it is not possible to prove that goods imported into Benin and Togo wind up in Nigeria, it has been shown that Benin, and to a lesser extent, Togo are the origin for a very large volume of transshipment of precisely those products which are heavily protected in Nigeria, such as used cars, cloth and rice. Imports of these products in Benin and Togo are usually declared for transit to land-locked Niger and Burkina Faso, but are much too large for this to be the case. In fact, it is common knowledge in Benin and Togo that imported cars, cloth, etc. are overwhelmingly intended for Nigeria.
