BESC (CTN): What You Need to Know for Benin

What is the BESC (CTN)?

The BESC (CTN) is a mandatory shipment document for cargo destined to Benin. It provides customs with shipment data before arrival and is required to avoid fines and discharge delays. Mandatory for Cotonou-bound cargo; waiver handling for specific cases.

Why It Matters
  • Mandatory: No certificate, no clearance - fines apply for non-compliance.
  • Accuracy: Container numbers, cargo value and consignee details must exactly match the Bill of Lading.
  • Timing: Submit before vessel departure to avoid origin and destination delays.

BESC (CTN) FAQ

Q: How fast can I get the BESC (CTN)?

A: 1-2 working days after receiving B/L draft, invoice and container details.

Q: Can you handle the whole shipping process too?

A: Yes - SPEED INT'L provides ocean freight to Benin with the certificate included.
