What is an ACD Certificate?

An Advanced Cargo Declaration (ACD) Certificate is a document required in international shipping to provide detailed information about the cargo before it arrives at its destination. It includes data such as the consignee, consignor, vessel details, and ports of loading and discharge, allowing authorities to ensure security and facilitate the smooth processing of goods.

Starting January 1st, 2025, the ACD Certificate will be mandatory for all cargo entering Yemeni ports. This new requirement, enforced by Yemen’s port authorities, means that shippers, exporters, or freight forwarders must obtain the ACD Certificate at the port of loading. Additionally, the bill of lading must include the ACD number for the shipment to be processed.

Procedure

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 ACD.

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