🌍 Senegal – A Key Maritime Gateway in West Africa

Located in West Africa, Senegal borders the Atlantic Ocean and offers significant geographic advantages for international trade. Its ports serve as critical access points for regional and global commerce.

Main Ports in Senegal:

  • Port of Dakar – The country’s largest commercial and logistics hub

  • Port of Kaolack, Ziguinchor, Lyndiane – Regional ports serving both domestic and international cargo movements

With its strategic location, Senegal acts as a vital trade link between Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

📄 What is the BSC (CTN) Certificate?

The BSC, also known as CTN (Cargo Tracking Note), is a mandatory shipping document required for all cargo imported into Senegal.

  • Introduced in 2008 by Senegal Customs Authority

  • Purpose: To track cargo movement, ensure legal compliance, and increase transparency at seaports

  • Applicable to all seaports in Senegal: Dakar, Kaolack, Ziguinchor, Lyndiane, and others

⚠️ Consequences of Missing or Invalid BSC Certificate

Failure to present a valid BSC certificate can result in:

  • 🚫 Cargo being denied customs clearance or returned

  • 💸 Fines of up to twice the BSC cost

  • 📋 Additional port penalties imposed by Senegalese Port Authorities

⏱️ Deadline: The BSC must be validated at least 5 days before the vessel arrives at the destination port.

The BSC application must be submitted by either:

  • The Shipper (Exporter)

Kunna Logistics will act on your behalf to coordinate with the issuing authorities and complete the BSC documentation promptly and accurately.
