Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about CTN requirements.

What is the CNCA / ARCCLA?

It is a mandatory shipping document for all shipments to Angola. It allows customs to track cargo before it arrives, confirm what is being imported into the country and prevent delays at port.

We will generate your draft CTN and invoice the same day we receive it. Once we submit it to the authorities for validation it typically takes 24-48 hours for them to release the final validation.

All exporters, freight forwarders and shippers importing goods into the country needs it.

You should apply at least 3-5 business days prior to the validation deadline to ensure we have enough time to process the certificate.

Shipments without a validated CTN may face penalties and delays at port. To avoid this, please apply at least 3-5 business days prior to the validation deadline.
