Please find below a quick reminder following our e-mail sent on July 10th about the new regulations pertaining to the ECTN of Benin;

As of the September 1st, 2019, the following regulations will apply

- The shipper or his forwarder must create an ECTN in the port of loading for all cargo discharged in the port of Cotonou, and the ECTN number should be reported on the BL.

- With the exception of floating cargo, all cargo arriving in the port of Cotonou without an ECTN will be denied clearing unless the ECTN is created and validated in good and due form in the port of loading.

Please note there has been an increase in the number of registrations of new users as result of the above communication. We count on your cooperation to provide the best assistance possible.
