In a recent development impacting logistics to Gabon, carriers, shippers, and freight forwarders are now exempted from including BIETC numbers on the Bill of Lading, effective immediately. This procedural change aims to simplify documentation processes while overall BIETC emission remains intact and compulsory through the official agents handling your region.

The decision marks a significant adjustment in how shipments are documented for Gabon-bound cargo. By eliminating the need for BIETC numbers insertion on the Bill of Lading, the logistics community can expect smoother transactions and reduced administrative burden.

“We appreciate the cooperation of all parties involved in adhering to this new directive,” stated Mr. George Sloukgi  – Managing Director at Pelican International Services “CGC’s goal is to enhance efficiency without compromising on compliance.”
