CTN Certificate
CTN for Djibouti
Djibouti also implements the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) system, which is similar to the systems in other African countries.
The ECTN requirement in Djibouti is aimed at enhancing security, facilitating customs procedures, and preventing fraud and smuggling.
When shipping goods to Djibouti, exporters, shippers, or their agents must obtain an ECTN certificate before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel.
This certificate contains detailed information about the cargo, including its nature, origin, destination, and other relevant details. It is submitted electronically to the authorities in Djibouti.
Compliance with the ECTN requirement is crucial to ensure smooth customs clearance and avoid delays or penalties.
Exporters or their agents typically work with authorized service providers to obtain the necessary ECTN certificate and fulfill Djibouti's customs regulations.
