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 not possible without the BSC and cargo can consequently not be delivered.

PROCEDURE

BSC can be issued with the following documents:

• Bill of lading
• Commercial Invoice
• Certificate of Origin
• Customs Declaration
• Insurance Copy
• FDI document (If the FDI number is not on the Insurance copy.)

REGULATIONS

• Failing to submit the BSC certificate, cargo cannot be cleared and will be sent back to origin.
• Customs Declaration amendments are subject to a fine of 2500 USD per Bill of lading. This amount will be debited to the agency that requests the correction.
