What is ACID?

ACID is an abbreviation of the Advanced Cargo Information Declaration. It is a mandatory loading document for all shipments to Egypt. It is also known as BSC, BESC, or CTN. Failing to present the Advanced Cargo Information Declaration document will lead to severe consequences and a hefty fine. The Egyptian Government requires ACID Advance Cargo Information Declaration to keep the country’s port safe and organized. The ACID became mandatory on 1 April 2021. All exporters are required to use the ACID to get approval.

Procedure of ACID

The importer should input his shipment data & information using an e-token(digital identity to the importer) and then requests his ACID number.

The Risk Management System controls all the information to prevent possible security issues.

Via the Nafeza Portal, the importer receives the shipment ACID. Then, the ACID is automatically sent to the exporter, importer and bank. The validity of the ACID is three months from the issuance date.

The importer should electronically send the shipment data and documents. Then Nafeza platform receives the documents.

The importer verifies and approves all shipment data and documents which the importer sends.

After the offloading of the shipment, the procedures of examining and inspecting the cargo are performed. Then the shipment leaves the customs port as a final part.
