Madagascar BSC Regulation Guide

To help avoid delays, begin the process as soon as the Bill of Lading (BL) is available. The document requirements and key country-specific points are outlined below.

Bill of Lading

For LCL shipments submitted with a House Bill of Lading (HBL), the Master Bill of Lading (MBL) may also be requested when necessary. The shipper and consignee must be registered in Madagascar’s GasyNet system. If they are not registered, our support team will request the relevant documents and complete the registration process on their behalf.

Commercial Invoice

• The commercial invoice must name the final consignee in the destination country.
• The applicable Incoterm must be clearly shown, together with a corresponding breakdown of values.

For example, where the Incoterm is CFR, the FOB and freight values should be stated separately.

Export Customs Declaration

The details in the Export Customs Declaration must be consistent with the corresponding information in all other documents.

Critical notes

• Amendments requested after certificate validation are subject to an amendment fee.
• For tariffs covering non-containerized shipments (RoRo, general cargo, or bulk), please contact our support team.

One BSC certificate is issued electronically for each BL, and the BSC number is issued along with the draft.
