The ECTN, also known as the BSC, is a document that must be obtained and presented for any shipment to Equatorial Guinea. This requirement was implemented by Equatorial Guinea Customs Officers in 2000. Failure to present an ECTN can result in serious consequences and large fines. The ECTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note) is a system used by the Equatorial Guinea government to track the movement of shipments in and out of the country. The ECTN system was introduced to streamline the customs clearance process and increase the efficiency of the country’s ports and airports. All shipments to or from Equatorial Guinea must be accompanied by an ECTN, an electronic document that provides information about the cargo, such as its weight, value, and destination.

The required documents are:

Bill of Lading

Goods Invoice

Freight Invoice

Customs Declaration
