The Benin Customs Officials applied a new regulation, which made all the sea cargo shipped to Benin’s Cotonou port, obliged to have a BESC certificate. Although you might be using Benin only as a sea transit, it is still mandatory for you to have a BESC. Click here to find out more on transit shipments. The BESC is an obligation for the Port of Cotonou as well as all the other ports in Benin.
The regulation got implemented in 2006. Despite being a 14-year-old regulation, some exporters are still unaware of this, and they get enormous amounts of penalties and suffer from severe consequences for not having the certificate.
