Regulations of Cargo Tracking Note
As mandated by the Ministry of Trade and Commerce of the Republic of South Sudan, all shipments imported to or exported from the nation must have a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN). The South Sudan ECTN Certificate is now mandatory.
The official ECTN communication notifying all concerned authorities, shippers, and transporting companies regarding detailed information on the ECTN certificate was published by the Ministry of Trade and Commerce.
Carriers are obliged to obtain valid CTN numbers from shippers before loading. This requirement has been enforced fully from April 1, 2019 onwards.
