Requirements Given that penalties exist for non-compliance, it is very important that shippers ensure the correct procedures are adhered to. On the whole, approval is straightforward to obtain and waivers (loading certificates) are rarely, if ever, refused. Requirements of shipper/ consignee: 1. The clearance of the cargo is impossible without a loading certificate and each bill of lading must correspond to one loading certificate. 2. The Angolan Shipper's Council (CNCA) or their agent are the only bodies authorised to issue loading certificates/ARC numbers. 3. The first step is that consignees must apply to the Ministry of Commerce 'to open' an Import Licence (BRI). This information is collated on computer and transferred to the CNCA. 4. Once cargo is ready, shippers should obtain a loading certificate blank form from CNCA or its agent at the loading port. 5. The shipper or his representative should fill in the required information on this document and give it back to the CNCA agent who will calculate the harbour and data processing dues and validate this information in the CNCA computer system. 6. Each loading certificate receives one serial number (ARC) and has to be duly dated, stamped and signed by the CNCA agent. 7. To receive his loading certificate, the shipper has to pay harbour and data processing dues as follows: 20ft containers - USD 100 per container 8. Harbour and data processing dues have to be collected at the moment goods have been loaded from port of discharge. 9. As per Decree nr.68/95 issued on 22/12/95 heavy fines/penalties and severe actions towards shippers and/or owners who are neglecting/avoiding the rules of the Angolese Legislation are now in force and fixed as follows: USD 5000.00 per incident plus 100% of all taxes to be paid to C.N.C.A Hints and Tips for completing the CNCA Form
