FAQ about Sudan ACD
What is a ACD certificate and why is it mandatory?
The ACD (Electronic Cargo Tracking Note) is a mandatory loading document required by Sudan Customs. All shipments to Sudan ports must obtain a valid ACD number before loading, or cargo cannot clear customs and may face penalties.
How long does it take to obtain a ACD?
With complete documents, a draft certificate is usually ready in 1-2 business days. The official certificate is issued upon confirmation. Apply as soon as booking is confirmed; the certificate must be obtained before vessel loading at the latest.
How much does a ACD certificate cost?
ACD fees vary based on cargo details (type, quantity, value, etc.) and cannot be quoted uniformly. We provide a transparent quote after reviewing your documents before processing.
Can certificate information be amended after issuance?
Yes, but amendments after validation typically incur extra charges. We recommend carefully reviewing all details (B/L number, cargo description, values) during the draft confirmation stage to avoid subsequent changes.
