Update: Gabon BIETC Certificate Compliance

New Compliance Updates for the Gabon BIETC Certificate

Read this update in Turkish

Dear Business Partner,

We would like to bring to your attention a critical update regarding the BIETC certificate for Gabon.

With immediate effect, the BIETC certificate must undergo pre-validation before the vessel departs. This regulatory change means that the certificate can no longer be validated by prior arrangement after the vessel has departed. To comply with this new requirement, a draft copy of the BIETC certificate must be obtained in advance.

We published a reminder of this update on 29 August 2024: Urgent Reminder: Pre-validation for the Gabon BIETC Certificate.

To avoid possible delays or penalties, please make sure the BIETC is submitted for approval before the vessel departs. Responsibility for obtaining the BIETC certificate lies with the shipper or the freight forwarder.
