Côte d'Ivoire - Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (The Republic of Côte d'Ivoire - BSC)

Côte d'Ivoire - Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (BSC)

       In accordance with the regulations of the Ivorian authorities, all cargo exported to Côte d'Ivoire must have a BSC application submitted at the port of loading.

       The Customs of Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) has designated the B.S.C. as one of the essential mandatory documents for cargo clearance. A formally approved BSC document must be provided for customs clearance at the destination port; otherwise, clearance will be impossible and penalties will be incurred.
