Ivory Coast – Abidjan – BSC Waiver

In order to monitor all Côte d’Ivoire volumes, the Office Ivoirien des Chargeurs (OIC – the Ivorian Shippers Council) has introduced a

Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison (BSC) – a cargo tracking note. Custom clearance is impossible without the BSC, and cargo can not be delivered.

PROCEDURE

BSC can be issued with the following documents:

• FDI document (If the FDI number is not on the Insurance copy.)

REGULATIONS

• Failing to submit the BSC certificate, the cargo cannot be cleared and will be returned to its origin.

Notice: You may cancel the process anytime during the CTN Application.
