Create an ECTN/BESC/waiver for Benin

Are you shipping cargo to Benin via Cotonou or via transit ports in neighboring countries (like Ghana, Togo, …)?

With Magnotrade you can create the mandatory Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) fast and easy.

Requested documents for Benin ECTN/BESC/waiver issuance are:

  • Dated Bill of Lading (draft to start issuance – final BL for validation of the ECTN)
  • Commercial invoice
  • Detailed freight invoice
  • Packing List
  • Export customs declaration
  • Registration card for vehicles

Following supplementary information is furthermore required:

  • Shipper’s phone number and email address
  • Receiver’s phone number and email address
  • Country of origin of the cargo
  • ETA at the discharging port
  • Incoterm

After pre-validation you will receive the ECTN/BESC/waiver number to be transmitted to the shipping line. A copy of the final BL with sailing date and ECTN N° is required for validation of the ECTN/BESC/waiver

It’s important to issue an ECTN/BESC/waiver as cargoes arriving without valid ECTN/BESC/waiver will be blocked for delivery by the local customs.

A Benin ECTN/BESC/waiver is also mandatory for shipments in transit to neighboring countries (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Nigeria).
