Tell us your destination country and we confirm which of these your customs broker needs. If a document has to be legalised or attested, we arrange it before shipment.
Pre-shipment cargo tracking by country
A number of African destinations require a pre-shipment inspection or an electronic cargo tracking note, issued before the vessel sails. If it is missed, the cargo cannot be cleared. We handle these as part of the shipment:
| West & Central Africa | BESC (Bordereau Électronique de Suivi des Cargaisons), CTN, ECTN |
|---|---|
| Francophone Africa | BIETC, FERI |
| East & Southern Africa | Destination-specific inspection certificates — confirmed per country |
Tell us your destination port at the quotation stage and we build the tracking requirements into the timeline, so nothing is missed between the order and the vessel.
