When shipping to many African countries, a document called ECTN or CTN (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note or Cargo Tracking Note) is required by local authorities/customs to be able to custom clear the cargo.

This document needs to be issued and purchased in advance and presented to the customs when clearing the cargo.
