What is the CNCA Certificate?
Angola CNCA is a loading certificate issued by Council of Angolan Shippers (CNCA) issued on the basis of the transportation documents mentioning the kind and quantity of the cargo, freight, and goods value and shipment details (container details, loading & discharge port and dates, etc.).
CNCA is issued for each Bill of Lading and has a unique number just for subject transportation / Bill of Lading, therefore, each Bill of Lading needs its own CNCA certificate/number.
Why ARC & CNCA Cargo Tracking Note Necessary for Angola?
CNCA or any other loading certificate does inform the port authorities regarding the arrival date of the cargo and quantity allowing the authorities to be prepared for the discharge operations in advance.
