When shipping products to or through nations in across the globe, you must have a cargo tracking note, sometimes referred to as a Waiver Certificate. Prior to any shipment reaching the port, the note needs to be lodged in order to clear customs.

For the nations to regulate, monitor, and manage import and export activity within the continent, the cargo tracking note is crucial. The note includes information on the exporter or importer, the value of the shipment, the mode and nature of the shipment, the cost of the freight, and the name of the vessel.
