Cameroon ECTN (BESC): Mandatory Certificate Explained

What is the Cameroon ECTN?

The ECTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note), also called BESC (Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison), is mandatory for all cargo shipped to Cameroon via Douala or Kribi. It provides customs with shipment data before arrival and is required to avoid fines and discharge delays.

Requirements

Mandatory: Every shipment to Cameroon - no ECTN, no clearance; fines apply.
Timing: Apply before the vessel departs China - details must match the Bill of Lading.
Data needed: Shipper/consignee details, vessel and voyage, container numbers, cargo description, invoice value.

How SPEED INT'L Helps

We prepare and submit the ECTN application with correct data, pay the fee, and deliver the validated certificate before your vessel leaves China - 1-2 working days processing.

ECTN FAQ

Q: Which Cameroon ports need ECTN?

A: Both Douala and Kribi - the ECTN covers all Cameroon entry points.

Q: What happens if I ship without ECTN?

A: Fines, customs penalties and discharge delays at Douala - the certificate is strictly enforced.
