Maximize your profits, don’t pay penalty fees!

Mali requires an Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) certificate, also known as a Bordereau Electronique de Suivi des Cargaisons (BESC), for all shipments destined for the country. SCK Representation is an authorized agent for the issuance of Mali BESC certificates. To obtain a BESC certificate, you must provide a bill of lading, commercial invoice, and freight invoice. You may also fill out the form yourself. The BESC process typically takes a few days, but it is recommended to allow a week. The BESC is mandatory for all shipments destined for Mali and must be indicated on the bill of lading. If your cargo is transiting through another port, such as Abidjan (Ivory Coast) or Dakar (Senegal), you may also need to obtain a certificate for that country. Therefore, it is vital to check the certificate requirements for the port of destination and ensure that all necessary documents are obtained to avoid potential delays or penalties.
