In the ever-evolving world of global shipping, ensuring compliance with regulations and documentation requirements is paramount. One such critical requirement is the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN), a document that helps monitor the movement of goods through the supply chain. Recently, however, the industry has witnessed an influx of misleading information circulating about shipping councils “resuming” or “starting” ECTN issuances.
Although these claims may appear credible at first glance, they often originate from sources that may not fully grasp the intricacies of current regulations and the complexities involved. Following such guidance can inadvertently result in delays, compliance challenges, or costly errors for businesses who aren't fully informed.
Why the Misinformation?
The shipping world is highly complex, with various shipping councils, port authorities, and customs bodies enforcing different ECTN requirements. This complexity has created an opportunity for sources to spread misinformation, exploiting businesses that lack detailed knowledge of the regulations.
Unfortunately, the consequences of acting on such misinformation can be severe, as companies may find themselves scrambling to fix errors, missing deadlines, facing fines including incurring costs for unnecessary documents.
