Libya’s Ministry of Finance announced on Monday that its Customs Authority is in the process of activating the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) system in order to manage and control shipments to Libya.
The Ministry stressed that the system is really effective in tightening control over imports.
It also said the system contributes to the control of toxins and prohibited goods and provides more effective customs control.
According to the Ministry’s announcement, the system helps combat corruption and allows the government to know the status and contents of all imported goods.
It added that the system tracks and follows up on imported goods electronically to provide advance information about them, such as type, quantity, or source of goods, to combat forgery in documents attached to the customs declaration.
