Electronic Cargo Tracking Note

The Republic of Niger is a landlocked country in West Africa. It is bordered by 7 countries: in the North-North West by ALGERIA in the North-East by LIBYA, CHAD in the East, in the South by NIGERIA, in the South-South-West by BENIN and in the West-South-West by MALI/BURKINA FASO.

In 2009 the Niger Port Authority and the Customs and Excise Department issued a decree that all cargo arriving at their borders must have a Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) or Bordereau de Suiv de Cargaison (BSC).

Some shipping lines may not load cargo without the CTN number.

Cargo Tracking Notes will not be issued at discharge port or when entering the borders.
