Ivory Coast has officially joined the list of nations using the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) system, which gives me great pleasure. By offering a single community platform for all shipping documents, this system is intended to simplify the process of importing goods to the Ivory Coast. Shipment agents can electronically submit shipping documents using the web-based ECTN system. A distinct tracking number is then generated by the system for each shipment.
With Seanautic Marine you can create the necessary ECTN/BSC document for Ivory Coast fast. Cargoes that have no valid ECTN will be blocked by the local customs.
Every shipment having Abidjan as its final destination must be protected by an E-CTN, commonly known as a BSC. To prevent any difficulties or penalties when clearing the products at destination, shippers and forwarders are urged to adhere to the official authorities' prescribed method.
