What Is BESC?

BESC (Bordereau Électronique de Suivi des Cargaisons) is the cargo tracking certificate required for the Central African Republic, also called a Loading Certificate.

These waiver certificates are recognized maritime documents detailing the cargo and its transportation between ports. BESC submission and verification at the loading port are mandatory requirements. A valid BESC is essential for import customs clearance at the port of entry. Shipments not covered by a valid BESC may be prohibited and subject to necessary fees.

The waiver includes exporter and importer details, shipping method (containerized, groupage, etc.), cargo type and value, vessel name, and freight invoice. Documents must be submitted before arrival at the port of discharge. Missing certification deadlines may result in penalties and non-issuance of the BESC.

Responsibility

The responsibility for obtaining the BESC certificate lies with the shipper. Shipments without a certificate are penalized, and the shipper will be responsible for any resulting losses.
