-
All marine goods arriving in Chad must be covered by a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) or Electronic Cargo Tracking Note, according to a statement from the Chad Shippers Council (ECTN). On January 1st, 2020, this new requirement will go into force. Every shipping company doing business in Chad needs to make sure that all of its boats abide by the new law.
The CTN is a record that keeps track of a shipment's journey from its origin to its final destination. It must be obtained in advance of shipping from the Chad Shippers Council and is necessary for all goods entering Chad. The ECTN, which is the CTN's electronic counterpart, may be downloaded on the Council's website. Before their goods reach Chad, all shipping companies must confirm they have the appropriate papers.
