    You have to have an ECTN certification five days before the vessel arrives at the latest. The cargo may be stopped and result in delays during clearing by the Customs Officials if correct documentation is not submitted. Having an ECTN number on the Bill of Lading is not mandatory unless shipping line is pursuing this.
    Certificate cost depends on the number of Bill of Ladings and the containers, the country of origin, the port of discharge, etc. This is why we can’t give you an exact price for the CTN. But if you share your shipment’s details with us we can provide you the best charges for your certificate. We offer free quotation.

    CTN's certificate service has revolutionized the way we handle compliance. What used to take hours of manual tracking is now automated, saving us significant time and resources. The notifications ensure we never miss an expiry date!
