CTN: What You Need to Know for Ghana

What is the CTN?

The CTN is a mandatory shipment document for cargo destined to Ghana. It provides customs with shipment data before arrival and is required to avoid fines and discharge delays. Mandatory for all Ghana-bound cargo.

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.

Q: How fast can I get the CTN?

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

Q: Can you handle the whole shipping process too?
