Introduction

Exporting cargo to Sudan requires compliance with the Port Sudan Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) system. This mandatory electronic filing ensures cargo transparency, security screening, and smoother customs clearance at destination.

At SAMSEA Shipping Services, we help exporters obtain their Port Sudan ACD approval quickly — often within 3–12 hours, ensuring shipments move without delays.

What is Port Sudan ACD?

The Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) is a compulsory pre-shipment filing required for all cargo arriving at Port Sudan. Shipment details must be submitted and approved before cargo loading at origin.

Once approved, an ACD number is issued and must be mentioned on:

  • Bill of Lading

  • Commercial Invoice

  • Packing List

  • Shipping Instructions

Without a valid ACD number, cargo clearance may be delayed or rejected.

Who Needs Port Sudan ACD?

ACD is required for:

  • All sea freight shipments to Sudan

  • FCL and LCL cargo

  • Commercial imports

  • Most export shipments destined for Port Sudan

Early filing avoids port hold-ups and extra charges.
