Senegal – Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (The Republic of Senegal – ECTN / BESC)

Senegal – Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN/BESC)

       In accordance with the regulations of the Republic of Senegal, all goods shipped to Senegal or transshipped via other ports to a Senegalese destination must be accompanied by an Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN). ECTN stands for Electronic Cargo Tracking Note. Failure to obtain this mandatory certification document for exports to Senegal may result in the shipping line at the port of loading being unable to issue the Bill of Lading, or the consignee at the destination port being unable to clear customs. One ECTN corresponds to one Bill of Lading, and the information on the ECTN must be consistent with the Bill of Lading.

Applicable Ports:

Port of Dakar and other ports in Senegal

Note:
**The ECTN certificate must be processed before the shipping line issues the original Bill of Lading.
**Once approved and activated, the original ECTN certificate (in PDF format) will be emailed to the applicant, who should then forward this original certificate to the consignee at the destination port and the shipping line, etc.
