Liberia BESC Update: Non-Compliance and Amendment Penalties

Bilgilendirmeyi Türkçe okumak için lütfen tıklayınız

Dear Valued Partner,

Please be informed that, from 16 May 2026, any amendment made to a Liberia BESC application after submission will attract amendment charges. Such amendments may also be subject to penalties where applicable.

Please also note that shipments exported without obtaining a BESC before shipping are granted a grace period of 14 days after sailing. After this period, non-compliance penalties may apply.

Shipments arriving in Liberia without a valid BESC Certificate will be considered non-compliant and will be subject to penalties and customs delays.

Customers are strongly advised to review all application details carefully before submission and ensure that the BESC is obtained before shipment to avoid additional costs and delays.

For assistance with your Liberia BESC application, please contact us before shipment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
