Equatorial Guinea ECTN Certificate
The Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) has been required by Equatorial Guinea Customs Officials since 2000 for all imports. The ECTN, also known as the BSC, is a document that must be presented at the point of arrival of the shipment. Non-compliance with this document can result in severe penalties. The ECTN is an essential document for customs officials in Equatorial Guinea to ensure proper processing of goods.
Located in Central Africa, Equatorial Guinea is bordered on the north by Cameroon, on the east by Gabon, on the south by Equatorial Guezzete, and on the west by the Bay of Guinea. Its capital and biggest city, Malabo, is the country’s seat of government. The official languages are the Spanish and French languages. The population of Equatorial Guinea is estimated to be around one and a half million people. Equatorial Guinea’s culture is deeply rooted in its indigenous tribes, but it has also been shaped by the influence of European colonizers and the expanse of the African continent.
The Equatorial Guinea government uses the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) system to keep track of cargo movements. The ECTN is designed to improve customs clearance and the efficiency of port and airport operations. The ECTN requires that every shipment coming into or going out of Equatorial Guinea is electronically documented. This document contains important cargo information such as weight, value, destination, etc. Ensuring that all shipments to Equatorial Guinea and to and from the country meet the requirements of the ECTN is essential for a smooth logistics process.
