Equatorial Guinea implemented a new regulation in 2000 that made all shipments to Guinea obliged to be accompanied by an ECTN certificate. If this certificate is absent, there will be severe consequences and an enormous penalty. It is mandatory for Bata and every other port. In some cases, there might be an exception where the ECTN certificate isn’t necessary if you are using Equatorial Guinea for transit purposes.
Although a certificate as crucial as this one mustn’t get missed by anybody who is exporting to Equatorial Guinea, it is one of the most overlooked certificates. Equatorial Guinea ECTN

ECTN means Electronic Cargo Tracking Note, and as you might guess by the name, it is used by authorities to track, manage, and supervise all shipments from loading to discharge. It also provides them the necessary information about the shipments before they arrive at the destination. It contains information about the exporter, the importer, information about the goods getting transported and their value, the cost of the freight, the type of shipment, the name of the vessel, etc. Equatorial Guinea ECTN
What are the required documents?
- Bill of Lading (B/L): This document confirms the shipment of goods and contains detailed information about the cargo.
- Commercial Invoice: A document detailing the transaction between the seller and buyer, including a description of the goods, their value, and payment terms.
- Packing List: A list that provides details about the contents of the shipment, including the packaging and weight.
- Export Declaration: This document confirms the exportation of goods from the country of origin.
- Certificate of Origin: Some shipments may require this document, which certifies the origin of the goods.
- Cargo Manifest: A detailed list of the cargo being shipped, including the consignee, consignor, and details of the goods.
- Insurance Certificate: Proof of insurance coverage for the shipment.
- Import Permit (if applicable): This is sometimes required for specific goods depending on Equatorial Guinea’s import regulations.
- Customs Declaration: If applicable, this document verifies that the shipment is being processed through customs.
The regulation states that the certificate must be delivered five days before the vessel arrives at the latest. If you don’t meet these requirements, you would be facing a fee twice the amount of the ECTN cost plus the regulation fee determined by the Equatorial Guinea 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.
