What is an ECTN Certificate? (And Why You Need It)
An ECTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note) is a mandatory digital certificate required by many African countries to track import shipments.
This document provides customs authorities with essential details about your cargo before it arrives, including shipper/consignee information, vessel details, cargo type, and value. It helps streamline customs clearance, prevent fraud, and ensure correct duty collection.
Different countries use different names (BESC, FERI, CNCA, BIETC, CTN, ENS), but the core requirement is the same: **No valid certificate = No customs clearance.**
Shipping without the required certificate can lead to:
- Severe penalties and fines (often exceeding certificate cost)
- Significant delays at the destination port
- Cargo seizure or mandatory return shipment
- Expensive demurrage and storage charges
