Panoramica

The BSC — Bordereau de Suivi des Cargaisons — is the electronic cargo tracking note required for sea shipments to Madagascar, which discharge at Toamasina, Majunga and Tulear. It ties the shipper, consignee, cargo and freight values on your Bill of Lading to a single reference that customs can reconcile before the cargo is worked. Filing deadlines differ by destination — some require the certificate before the vessel sails, others later — so we confirm the exact cut-off for your route before anything is filed.
