Important Notice
We have received confirmation from the Beninese authorities that for vehicles inside containers, the cargo type should be “container”. This applies only to vehicles loaded inside containers where the container number is clearly mentioned on the documents. For such cases, it’s crucial to include the chassis number of the vehicles in the goods description field. Conversely, vehicles not loaded in containers should be categorized as “RoRo”.
