🚨 KENYA | ACD Certificate Mandatory from Today – 03 August 2026
From today, 03 August 2026, the Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) is mandatory for all container shipments destined for Kenya.
The ACD Reference Number must be obtained before shipment to ensure compliance with the new import requirements and to help avoid customs delays, inspections, or clearance issues at destination.
At SHIPPERSDOC, we provide fast and professional assistance for the issuance of the Kenya ACD Certificate, supporting exporters, freight forwarders, and shipping companies throughout the entire process.

⚽ Sipario sulla Spediporto Cup... ma usciamo a testa altissima! 💙 📸 Amanda Del Re

Il nostro cammino si ferma agli ottavi di finale, ma se c'è una cosa che abbiamo imparato è che non bisogna mai dare per scontata SHIPPERSDOC - SINERGYCARGO! 😉
Contro CAVA è stata una partita da montagne russe: 4-4, gol, emozioni e tanta voglia di non mollare mai. Alla fine, il regolamento ha premiato chi aveva chiuso meglio il girone... e va bene così!
Noi, però, possiamo dire una cosa con orgoglio: ce la siamo giocata fino all'ultimo pallone.
Un po' come Capo Verde contro l'Argentina: sulla carta sembrava una missione impossibile... sul campo, invece, abbiamo fatto capire che per batterci bisogna sudare. E parecchio! 💪⚽

La soddisfazione più grande? Abbiamo migliorato il risultato dello scorso anno. Segno che la direzione è quella giusta... e che gli allenamenti del giovedì (mai fatti) iniziano a dare i loro frutti! 😄

Un grazie agli organizzatori, a CAVA INTERNATIONAL SRL e S&L Trasporti per la bellissima sfida e a tutti quelli che hanno fatto il tifo per noi.

L'anno prossimo torneremo. Con lo stesso entusiasmo, lo stesso spirito di squadra e... magari con qualche cambio in più per evitare i crampi negli ultimi cinque minuti! 😂
Perché in fondo il calcio è questo: divertirsi, fare squadra e creare amicizie che vanno ben oltre il novantesimo.

Ci vediamo alla prossima edizione... e attenzione, perché SHIPPERSDOC - SINERGYCARGO ha già messo gli ottavi nel mirino. Il prossimo obiettivo? Andare ancora più avanti! 🔥🏆

⚽ Prima vittoria.. e il pallone è ancora intero! 😄🏆 Prima vittoria per SHIPPERSDOC - SINERGYCARGO! 💙

Una partita equilibrata contro Dafarra Group, giocata con intensità, rispetto e tanto fair play. Una sfida equilibrata fino all'ultimo, dove il vero vincitore è stato lo sport.

Complimenti agli avversari per la grinta e la correttezza... ci siamo divertiti davvero! 👏

Ora però è già tempo di guardare avanti. La prossima sfida sarà di quelle che fanno ba***re il cuore: ci aspetta la corazzata Ignazio Messina & C.. Sulla carta partono favoriti... ma il bello del calcio è che il risultato si decide sempre sul campo! ⚽💪

Noi ci saremo, un pò come con lo stesso entusiasmo, lo stesso spirito di squadra e... magari con qualche gamba un po' meno pesante! 😅

Ci vediamo alla prossima! 🔥 Mercoledì 01 Luglio alle ore 21:30

🌍⚓ Last week, we had the privilege of attending **Breakbulk Europe 2026 in Rotterdam**, one of the world's leading events dedicated to the **Project Cargo, Heavy Lift and Breakbulk** industry.

🤝 For SHIPPERSDOC and the Frabemar Group, this was far more than just an exhibition.

It was an incredible opportunity to:

✅ Strengthen relationships with our trusted partners and agents worldwide
✅ Meet customers face-to-face and discuss ongoing projects
✅ Create new business connections and explore future collaborations
✅ Exchange ideas with key stakeholders across the maritime and logistics sectors

Throughout the event, we had the pleasure of interacting with shipowners, port agents, freight forwarders, NVOCCs, terminal operators, project cargo specialists and logistics providers from every corner of the world. 🚢🏗️🌐

🌍 While Africa remains at the heart of our daily activities, the discussions held during Breakbulk highlighted something even bigger: the maritime industry is evolving rapidly.

From changing trade routes and supply chain challenges to digitalization and compliance requirements, the future of shipping will be built on expertise, adaptability and strong partnerships.

📋 At SHIPPERSDOC, we continue to support exporters, freight forwarders, NVOCCs and shipping companies with the issuance and management of Cargo Tracking Notes, including:

🔹 ECTN
🔹 BESC
🔹 CNCA
🔹 Cargo Waivers
🔹 African Trade Compliance Services

Because moving cargo is important.

💡 But connecting businesses, facilitating trade and ensuring compliance across Africa is what truly drives us.

🙏 A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to meet us in Rotterdam. Every conversation, every handshake and every new connection reinforces our commitment to supporting the maritime community worldwide.

🚀 We look forward to turning these discussions into new opportunities and long-term partnerships.

See you at the next Breakbulk!

⚽🔥 DOMANI SI SCENDE IN CAMPO! 🔥⚽

La SHIPPERSDOC – SINERGY CARGO è pronta ad affrontare la sua prima sfida della SPEDIPORTO 2026… e il calendario non ci ha fatto nessuno sconto! 😅

Il debutto sarà contro Hapag-Lloyd, un vero e proprio colosso tedesco del settore. Sulla carta potrebbe sembrare una partita in salita, soprattutto considerando che la nostra squadra dovrà fare i conti con alcune importanti assenze.

Ma c'è un dettaglio che le statistiche non possono misurare: la voglia di lottare fino all'ultimo minuto. 💪

Noi siamo abituati a gestire spedizioni complicate, trovare soluzioni quando sembrano non esistere e non mollare mai davanti agli ostacoli. Domani porteremo lo stesso spirito sul campo.

Magari loro hanno una flotta di navi… 🚢
Noi, invece, abbiamo una squadra che darà tutto per ogni pallone. ⚽

In bocca al lupo ai nostri ragazzi della SHIPPERSDOC – SINERGY CARGO: giocate con grinta, divertitevi e ricordatevi che il risultato più importante è rappresentare con orgoglio i colori della nostra squadra.

Forza ragazzi, facciamo vedere che il cuore può valere più del tonnellaggio! 💙🤍

📄 Certificate of Origin and BESC.
Two documents. Two completely different purposes. Both required. Neither replaces the other.

Still confusing them? Here's the clear breakdown 👇

Certificate of Origin (CO)
🏭 Certifies where your goods were manufactured or produced
🏭 Issued by the Chamber of Commerce or an authorised body at origin
🏭 Determines the applicable import duty rate at destination
🏭 It's about the GOODS — their origin, not their movement

BESC / ECTN (Cargo Tracking Certificate)
🚢 Certifies the shipment details — container, consignee, commodity, vessel, voyage
🚢 Issued by an accredited agent under a destination country mandate
🚢 Used for pre-clearance and cargo tracking at destination customs
🚢 It's about the SHIPMENT — its composition and declared route

Why both matter for Africa:
→ The Certificate of Origin determines how much duty your importer pays
→ The BESC determines whether the cargo is released at all

You can have a perfect CO and a missing BESC — and your cargo sits.
You can have a clean BESC and no CO — and your importer overpays on duties.

Check your documentation package before every Africa booking. Both boxes need to be ticked.

🔴 DR Congo is one of the strictest FERI - BESC enforcement environments in Africa.
Vague data. Wrong port. Estimated weights. All rejected.

Shipping to Matadi, Boma, or Kinshasa? Read this first 👇

DRC-specific BESC requirements — non-negotiable:
📌 Data match between FERI, commercial invoice, and packing list is enforced at destination
📌 Container and seal numbers must be FINAL at the time of issuance — provisional data is not accepted
📌 HS codes are cross-referenced against DRC's import duty schedule at clearance
📌 Amendments after vessel departure: formal correction procedure, each one carries a fee
📌 Port of discharge must be declared precisely — Matadi, Boma, or Banana — not "DRC port". Furthermore, goods from Asia is dishcharged in Mombasa or Dar Es Salaam.

What we see go wrong on DRC shipments:
→ Consignee name mismatches — DRC has specific company registration formats
→ Commodity descriptions too generic — "machinery" or "goods" are flagged for review
→ Wrong port of discharge declared — Matadi ≠ Boma ≠ Banana for certificate purposes

Time pressure at Matadi is real. Storage costs are high. And DRC is not a market where documentation errors resolve themselves over a few emails.

We have processed DRC FERIcertificates continuously for years. Ask us before you book. Not after the vessel departs.

📦 FCL or LCL to Africa?
The answer changes your documentation requirements — not just your freight invoice.

What most shippers don't realise about groupage to African destinations 👇

FCL — Full Container Load
✅ One shipper, one consignee, one container
✅ BESC/ECTN issued against a single clean bill of lading
✅ Straightforward data alignment — faster processing
✅ Preferred by certificate authorities for accuracy and speed

LCL — Groupage / Consolidation
⚠️ Multiple shippers share a container
⚠️ Each shipper's cargo may require a separate certificate — even in the same box
⚠️ All certificates must be ready before the master vessel departure — earlier than your individual HBL cut-off
⚠️ One missing or incorrect certificate can trigger a hold on the entire container

The overlooked risk in LCL: A hold on one consignment in a groupage container affects every other shipper in that box. If you are sharing a 40' to Douala with five other exporters — and one of them has a documentation problem — your cargo waits too.

If you are a consolidator or NVOCC running African LCL trades — talk to us about how we coordinate multi-shipper certificate requests against a single vessel cut-off.

Shipping to Douala or Kribi? The ECTN must be issued before your vessel departs — not after. Here's the exact process.
📋 Shipping to Douala or Kribi?
The ECTN - BESC must be issued before your vessel departs — not after. Here's the exact process.

First time exporting to Cameroon? Save this post 👇

What you need to submit for a Cameroon ECTN:
📄 Final commercial invoice (not a proforma)
📄 Packing list — gross/net weights, number of packages
📄 B/L draft
📄 Consignee full name, address, and NIU (tax ID)
📄 DI - Import declaration

Timeline — be realistic:
⏱️ Submit documentation minimum 48 hours before vessel departure
⏱️ Standard processing: 24–48 hours from complete submission
⏱️ Applications under 24 hours before departure: urgent surcharge applies — and cannot be guaranteed

What happens after issuance:
✅ The ECTN number is transmitted electronically by Shippers Council
✅ Your consignee presents it at Douala/Kribi for release authorisation
✅ The certificate is valid only after final validation that should be done maximum 48 hours before cargo reaches Douala o Kribi.

The most expensive mistake on Cameroon shipments? Contacting us when the vessel is at the terminal. Avoid Penalties!

Contact us when you confirm the booking. That's when the clock starts — and that's when we should too.
