Liberia CTN

No, ECTN is unique and reserved only for one shipment. Every shipment must have a validated ECTN number.

No. The Liberia CTN certificate number is not required to show on the Bill of Lading. However, if you do state the CTN on the BL, keep in mind that the CTN number gets changed if any amendment is made to the validated certificate. Though, you don’t need to worry about changing the already printed OBL. Even if the number on the revised CTN certificate is different than the one on the printed OBL, you will not face any hurdle whilst clearing the cargo. 

GetCTN is an independent consulting firm that helps clients obtain CTN certificates in many African countries. It is an international company with offices in the USA, UK, and UAE, and its sole business is CTN certification; it is not a freight forwarder, importer, or exporter.

The hard copy of the certificate isn’t necessary at all. Instead, the whole process is completed online.

A bill of lading (BL or BoL) is a legal document issued by a carrier to a shipper that details the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried.

A commercial invoice is a required document for the export and import clearance process. It is sometimes used for foreign exchange purposes. In the buyer’s country, it is the document their customs officials use to assess import duties and taxes.
