    The ECTN certificate must be validated five days before the vessel arrives at the destination at the latest. If you fail to provide the certificate at the given time, you will be facing a fine twice the amount of the ECTN cost plus the regulation charges determined by the South Sudan National Port Officials.
    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.

    FAQs related to South Sudan ECTN Certificate

    Find quick answers to common questions about the ECTN certification process.

    ECTN stands for Electronic Cargo Tracking Note, also known as BSC (Bordereau de Suivi Cargaison) or Loading Certificate. These are marine control documents that carry details about cargo and its journey between ports.

    Several African nations require shippers to obtain this waiver document to effectively monitor and manage the movement of goods. ECTN must be obtained and validated at the port of loading. It’s mandatory for customs clearance at the destination port. If the ECTN is missing or not finalized, customs will hold the cargo and may impose fines.

    These documents include detailed information about the exporter, importer, shipping method (containerized, LCL, etc.), description and value of the goods, vessel details, and freight charges. Either the importer or exporter is responsible for filing the waiver before cargo arrives at its final port. The timeframe for validation depends on the destination. Failure to validate ECTN on time will result in penalties and denial of certificate issuance.
