What is BSC?
BSC is a mandatory loading document for all shipments to Niger.
It is also known as CTN. It was determined as a regulation in 2008 by the Niger Customs Officials. Failing to present the BSC document will lead to severe consequences and a hefty fine.
According to this law, every cargo purchased from abroad and transported for commercial, business, in some cases, diplomatic and personal purposes require a Loading Certificate called BSC – Bordereau de Suivi des Cargaisons.
The shipper or the freight forwarder is responsible for acquiring the BSC waiver certificate from the authorized representative.
- Bill of Lading: A draft copy can be used for the draft.
- Commercial Invoice – Incoterm, reference, and date must be mentioned.
- Freight Invoice: It is necessary if the freight cost isn’t on the commercial invoice.
According to Niger Customs regulations, all cargo to Niger must be accompanied by a BSC certificate.
The BSC certificate must be validated five days before the vessel arrives at the latest.
Shipments that arrive without BSC or with false information on the BSC get charged twice the certificate cost plus the regulation charge determined by the Niger National Port Officials.
