Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Quick answers to common questions about CTN requirements in African countries.

What is the Senegal BSC?

The BSC (Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison) is a mandatory shipping document for all shipments imported into the destination country of Senegal. It allows customs to track cargo before it arrives, confirm what is being imported into the country, and obtain more valuable information about the shipment. This document is required to prevent delays at the destination 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 Senegal needs it. Review our complete guide for shipping to 

If your shipment arrives in Senegal without a valid Senegal BSC (Cargo Tracking Note), it will not be cleared by customs. The cargo may be held at the port until a valid BSC is issued, leading to significant clearance delays, demurrage and storage fees charged by the port, or possible fines or penalties from the customs authorities. In some cases, your cargo could even be refused entry or returned to the country of origin.

Shipments without a validated CTN may face penalties and delays at port. To avoid this, please apply at least 3-5 business days before the vessel’s estimated arrival date.

No. Each shipment must have its own unique Senegal BSC (Cargo Tracking Note) number.

A BSC is tied to the specific Bill of Lading, vessel, and cargo details for one shipment only.

If you’re shipping multiple containers under different Bills of Lading, you’ll need to apply for a separate BSC certificate for each. However, if multiple containers share one Bill of Lading and are part of a single shipment, only one BSC is required.
