To initiate the BESC certification process for your shipment to Chad, simply send us PDF copies of the required documents. It usually takes a few days to get approval, but it can take up to a week for planning. All shipments exported to or imported from Chad must have a BESC certificate, and shipments without it are subject to a 100% penalty fee. In 2016, the Chad Shippers Council (COC-TCHAD) issued a decision (Article n° 2 of Joint Decree n° 039 / PR / PM / MID / 2016) that determined the current agents it has appointed to issue the certificate.

The required documents are:

Bill of Lading

Commercial Invoice

Freight Invoice
