Ghana CTN implemented a new regulation in 2018. And it states that all shipments to Ghana are obliged to be accompanied by a CTN certificate. With this new regulation, any shipment arriving at a port of Ghana without this certificate will face severe consequences and a penalty. It is mandatory for both Tema and Takoradi ports. If your shipment’s final destination isn’t Ghana, not having this certificate won’t cause any problems. Click here to find out more on transit shipments.

What is a Ghana ECTN Certificate?
The Ghana ECTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note) is a mandatory shipping document required for goods being imported to Ghana. It ensures compliance with Ghana's customs regulations, allowing authorities to track cargo movement, prevent smuggling, and facilitate smoother customs clearance. The ECTN must be obtained before shipping goods.

CTN certificate services give me peace of mind knowing our licenses and certifications are always current. The automated reminders are a lifesaver, and their detailed reporting keeps everything transparent and organized.
- Bill of Lading: It contains details about the exporter, the importer, the weight of the goods, the shipping line, the vessel name, etc.
- Commercial Invoice: It includes details of the goods, the freight cost, the incoterm, and some other charges if there is any, etc.
- Freight Invoice: This is only a required document if the freight cost isn’t on the commercial invoice.
- Export Customs Declaration: This is a document that is prepared by the customs officials of the exporter country and lists the goods getting transported and has a detailed description of them.
- Packing List: This document contains all the details of the goods, especially the total weight.
CTN certificate must be validated five days before the vessel’s arrival at the latest. If not, you will be facing a fee twice the amount of the certificate’s cost plus a regulation charge determined by the Ghana Customs Officials.
Certificate cost depends on the number of Bill of Ladings and the containers, the country of origin, the port of discharge, etc. This is why we can’t give you an exact price for the CTN. But if you share your shipment’s details with us we can provide you the best charges for your certificate. We offer free quotation.
