What is a BESC Certificate?

BESC stands for Bordereau Électronique de Suivi des Cargaisons.

It is the French cargo tracking certificate used by some West and Central African countries such as Benin and Cameroon as mandatory documentation before cargo arrival.

Authorities use the BESC certificate to:

  • register shipment details

  • track cargo movement

  • verify customs compliance

Without a valid BESC certificate, shipments may face:

  • port penalties

  • customs delays

  • cargo detention

  • demurrage charges

Samsea Shipping ensures timely issuance through certified authorities to minimize risk.
