The Gambian government has decided that all shipments to Gambia (including transit) must obtain a CTN Certificate as of May 15, 2023. The new regulation is mandatory for all cargo exported and imported to Gambia.

The CTN reference number must be entered in the goods description field and the shipment reference field of the bill of lading.

Shipments arriving without a certificate are subject to a penalty fee at the relevant country port.

The required documents are as follows:

Bill of lading (A draft image can be applied for. Original image is required for approval.)

Goods Invoice

Freight Invoice (Not required if the freight fee is stated on the goods invoice.)

Customs Declaration
