In Ivory Coast, the BSC (Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison) certificate is required for certain imports.
Similar to other tracking systems in African countries like ECTN or CNCA, the BSC certificate is aimed at regulating and controlling imports to Ivory Coast, ensuring compliance with customs regulations, and preventing fraud and smuggling.
The BSC certificate must be obtained before the cargo is loaded onto the vessel and is submitted electronically to the relevant authorities in Ivory Coast.
It contains information about the cargo, its origin, destination, and other relevant details.
Importers, exporters, or their agents are responsible for ensuring compliance with the BSC requirement when shipping goods to Ivory Coast.
They often work with authorized service providers to obtain the BSC certificate and facilitate smooth customs clearance for their shipments.
Compliance with the BSC requirement helps avoid delays, fines, or other penalties during the import process.
