    What is ECTN?

    ECTN is a mandatory loading document for all shipments to Guinea Conakry. It is also known as BSC. The Guinea Conakry Customs Officials determined it as a regulation in 2000.

    It is required for Conakry, Kamsar or any other port. Failing to present the ECTN document will lead to severe consequences and a hefty fine.

    Procedure

    According to this law, every cargo purchased from abroad and transported for commercial, business, in some cases, diplomatic and personal purposes requires a Loading Certificate called ECTN – Electronic Cargo Tracking Note.

    The shipper or the freight forwarder is responsible for acquiring the ECTN waiver certificate from the authorized representative.

    Requirements
    • Bill of Lading: A draft copy can be used for the draft.
    • Commercial Invoice
    • Freight Invoice: It is necessary if the freight cost isn’t on the commercial invoice.
    • Export Customs Declaration – Details have to be the same across all documents if it is not cross-trade.
