The cargo pre declaration policy applies to all imports and exports to Sierra Leone.

Import: all ships from various places to Sierra Leone for unloading since April 1, 2015.

Exports: all ships departing from Sierra Leone from 15 March 2015.

In order to comply with Sierra Leone customs regulations, customers are required to follow the following procedures:

1. Customers need to pre declare goods in advance and obtain entry summary serial number (ENS) for import

2. When the information is submitted, a 13 digit serial number will be generated. The first two digits of the number represent the current year, followed by the country code and a number automatically generated by the system.

Example (for reference only): 15slxxxxxxxx (15 = current year, SL = Sierra Leone, the last 9 bits are automatically generated by the system)

3. The serial number should be shown on the bill of lading, so the customer should fill in the "sample bill of lading" (SI) accurately.

Entry summary serial number (ENS)

Cargo tracking list (CTN)

Goods pre declaration (ACD)
