What is ECTN?
Benin ECTN, or Bordereau Electronique de Suivi des Cargaisons, is an electronic tracking system mandated by the authorities of Benin. This system is designed to monitor cargo from the point of loading to discharge, ensuring transparency and compliance throughout the shipping process. Essentially, it serves as a digital certificate containing crucial information about the shipment, including details of the exporter, importer, quantity, value of goods, and vessel particulars.
