Madagascar BSC Certificate

Pursuant to the regulations issued by Société du Port à Gestion Autonome de Toamasina, a BSC certificate is mandatory for cargo transported to Madagascar by sea.

BSC stands for Bordereau de Suivi de Cargaison, which corresponds to Cargo Tracking Note in English.

A BSC certificate is required for each Bill of Lading. A unique certificate is issued for each Bill of Lading, and multiple certificates cannot be issued for the same Bill of Lading. It makes no difference whether the shipment is partial or full container load (LCL or FCL).

Required Documents

• Bill of Lading
• Commercial Invoice
• Freight Invoice
• Customs Declaration
• Packing List
• Certificate of Origin
• Insurance Policy for CIF shipments

Processing Time and Application Procedure

The certificate processing period takes approximately 2 business days. It is sufficient to send your documents to us in PDF format. We do not require any application forms, form fees, or additional procedures and charges.

Upon receipt of your documents, a draft certificate is prepared and sent to the applicant via email together with the certificate number. After any requested amendments to the draft have been completed, the certificate is submitted for approval upon your confirmation, and the invoicing and payment stage begins. Once the relevant authority approves the application, the certificate is delivered to you digitally via email.

Important Notes and Common Reasons for Rejection

• It is extremely important that all information contained in the documents is consistent.
• Approval may not be granted if the Shipper and Consignee information differs across the documents.
• Approval may not be granted if there are inconsistencies between the cargo value, freight charges, and other cost items.
• Approval may not be granted if there are discrepancies in product descriptions, container numbers, gross weight, volume, or similar information.

If approval is not granted, the system will provide a notification indicating the reason for rejection and the required corrective action. Based on this notification, we will request the necessary amendments from you and resubmit the certificate application together with the revised documents.

There is no fee during the draft preparation stage of the Madagascar BSC Certificate application. Furthermore, there is no cargo levy associated with the Madagascar BSC Certificate process; only the Certificate Fee is charged.

Modifications can be made after the certificate application has been approved.
