    Ready to Get Your Madagascar BSC Certificate?​

    We provide comprehensive transportation services for our partners on the globe and always offer innovative solutions to deal with complex logistics challenges.

    You must have the BSC certificate validated before the departure date. The officials will ask for the BSC to let you load your cargo into the vessel. And even if your shipment gets accepted, the certificate will be required at the destination port. If you fail to validate the certificate, your cargo won’t have an entry clearance; and will be sent back to the origin.

    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.
