Nigeria ICTN

If you are using Benin as a transit point for Nigeria, you do need to get a BESC certificate for Benin. Your goods could not be cleared at any port without BESC certification.

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

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.
