HOW TO USE YOUR ELECTRONIC ACCOUNT FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE ECTN/BESC FOR THE CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

The website: www.agenziagenovese.it is the only one from which it is possible to acquire information and follow the correct procedures for the application and issue of the ECTN/BESC.

Enter your details by clicking “BECOME A NEW USER” and create your USER ID and PASSWORD. After the confirmation of the requested data an email will be sent to confirm and activate the account. Note that these credentials will always be valid.

In the menu “access to your account” enter USER ID and PASSWORD.

After the confirmation, the page with the list of all the ECTN/BESC inserted will be displayed, in decreasing order of date and number.

The remaining credit in € will be displayed in real time.
An ECTN/BESC will be approved and issued by the AGENZIA GENOVESE only if the credit on the credit limit is sufficient. Enter “How to issue an ECTN” and once you have completed all the fields of the form you will have two options:

ARCHIVES/SAVE:

SAVE:
    – a draft version will be archived for further entries or corrections, (ETCN/BESC has not yet been validated and has a provisional ID number).

VALIDER/VALIDATE:

VALIDATE
– AGENZIA GENOVESE will send to your email address, together with the invoice, the BESC/ECTN with the final numbering, stamped and signed (PDF format).

In the list of ECTN/BESC, for each one there is the command (Efface/Delete) active only if confirmation has not yet been requested:

DELETE
– you can cancel your request at no additional cost.

NB: until confirmation is requested, it is possible to make any change, correction and cancellation of a BESC/ECTN at no additional cost.

NB: Please send us a copy of the bill of lading so that we can verify the correct completion of the BESC/ECTN.

ANY ECTN/BESC ISSUED CANNOT BE CANCELLED OR REFUNDED AFTER VALIDATION.

In case the ECTN/BESC should be modified, after its confirmation, the request must be sent, via email, to Agenzia Genovese specifying the changes to be made (only one correction request per ECTN/BESC will be allowed).

The cost of the correction is 25€, plus any cost difference (give/take) always with reference to the same type of goods.

It is not possible to request a correction for changes in the type of goods transported. In this case the BESC/ECTN will have to be fully resubmitted and, as previously reported, the cost of the former will not be refunded.

These guidelines for the application/issuance of ECTN/BESC will be applied without exception. With real-time telematic monitoring, the CCAC will be able to supervise the exact application of the procedures. Cargo not covered by a valid ECTN/BESC will constitute an offence to the rules in force in the CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC and consequently penalties will be issued at destination.

We thank you for having received these instructions and for your cooperation, we ask you not to hesitate to contact us in case you need any clarification.
