What is CEE?

Commonly referred to as CTN or BSC, the Certificate of Entry (CEE) is a legally binding document that is required for all consignments to be shipped to Guinea-Bissau.

The CEE document was established as a regulation by the Customs officials of Guinea Bissau in 2011. It is necessary for the port of Bissau as well as any other port in the country. Failure to submit the CEE document can result in serious penalties and hefty fines.
