A loading certificate is an electronic document required when exporting goods to African countries. This document records the loading of cargo onto the transport vehicle and its arrival in the destination country. It is obtained by the exporter or shipper and approved by the Benin Customs Administration.
This document is crucial for the security, tracking, and customs procedures of the cargo. Cargo without this certificate may be held at the port and subject to penalties. The name and abbreviation of this document may vary depending on the country, such as ECTN, BESC, BSC, ENS, etc.
