Liberia: charges for BESC amendments and penalties for late BESCs
From 16 May 2026, any change made to a Liberia BESC application after it has been submitted is charged, and may also be penalised.
Key points
- Shipments that sailed without a BESC have a 14-day grace period after sailing; after that, penalties may apply.
- Cargo arriving in Liberia without a valid BESC is non-compliant and faces penalties and customs delays.
- Check every detail before submitting, and obtain the BESC before shipment.
