Cameroon Spotlight

Cargo bound for Cameroon needs an Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN, known locally as BESC), obtained through the Cameroon National Shippers' Council (CNSC/CNCC) before the vessel arrives, with penalties for late requests. A pro forma invoice, a pre-shipment inspection or conformity certificate where required, a certificate of origin where preferential treatment is claimed, and the standard shipping documents together complete a typical Cameroon import file. Deadlines and specific requirements change from time to time, so confirm the current timelines directly with the CNSC or your agent before each shipment.

TIP

Your country: find the exact document list required by customs and any mandatory cargo-tracking or pre-shipment inspection scheme.
