Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN)
Bordereau Electronique de Suivi Cargaisons (BESC)

ECTN

Strong of its skills and experiences, Catalyst has officially been granted the exclusive mandate for the ECTN procedure for the CGC in Guinea and CNC-GB in Guinea-Bissau.

The Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN or CEE) in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, also known as Bordereau Electronique de Suivi Cargaisons (BESC / CEE), is an official marine document that contains information relating to the cargo and its movement for customs clearance between ports. In monitoring the maritime cargoes and controlling their transport costs, a unified ECTN / BESC / CEE Control System has been set up, the management of which has been granted exclusively to Catalyst Business Solutions.

Record and Submission

  • Sign-in needs two documents and numbers related : RCCM and NIF (Trade Register and number + Tax Id document). If the same, upload it twice

  • 4 documents are mandatory : Bill of Lading / Export declaration(s)/ Commercial invoice(s) / Freight fee(s)

  • Invoice (if freight is already on the commercial invoice : load the commercial invoice twice)

  • Delay delivery : 24 hours after submission

  • One mail for each step (sign in under process; sign in OK with Id and password; after submission and after validation): no mail means the step did not run properly, meaning "try again" or "wrong email address"
