Sea imports generally require an electronic cargo tracking note (BSC/ECTN), and some consignments may fall under import verification schemes, so confirm the position with the importer before booking. Pharmaceutical ingredients are regulated by ARP, the Senegalese pharmaceutical regulation agency. Hazardous chemicals may need approval from DEEC, the environment directorate that oversees classified installations. French documentation is standard, so tell us if your broker needs French descriptions on the invoice or packing list. Dangerous goods are declared under IMDG or IATA rules, with correct UN packaging and labels.
