If your Benin BESC is validated and details of your shipment changed, it is important to reach out to your CTN agent as soon as possible to remedy the CTN validation.
This guide will explain when corrections can be made to validated Benin BESC certificated and how to submit for a Benin BESC correction.
When You Can Request Corrections
You can request corrections to your draft BESC any time before it has been validated with no fees or penalties.
Once it has been validated, if your shipment got rolled, split or the consignee’s details changed, that change will need to reflect on the final validated BESC. As long as you have supporting documentation such as:
- The updated BL
- The updated commercial invoice
Then AfricaCTN will be able to request that correction from the Benin authorities.
How to Submit a Correction Request
To submit a correction request for a validated BESC you must provide:
- The updated bill of lading related to your shipment
- An explanation of what needs to be changed on the BESC
- Any other supporting documents (ex. updated commercial invoice or bill of lading)
Corrections cannot be processed without complete and accurate shipping documents.
Summary
Corrections to a validated Benin BESC can be made under certain circumstances. It is important to check all details of the draft BESC prior to approving it to prevent any issues or additional delays in port.
