Based on the circulars issued by the Sudanese Customs Authority and the Sea Ports Corporation regarding the implementation of the Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) system, we would like to inform you of the following:
It has become mandatory for all exporters and freight forwarders to obtain an ACD Certificate prior to shipment, effective 1 January 2026, for all types of cargo destined for Sudanese ports.
The ACD Certificate must be issued exclusively through the official electronic platform approved by the Sudanese government at the following link:
www.acdsudan.com
The ACD Certificate number must be obtained from the loading port, whether by the shipper, exporter, or freight forwarder.
It is also mandatory to clearly and explicitly mention the ACD Certificate Number on the Bill of Lading (B/L).
All related parties must fully comply with the new regulations and instructions concerning the Advance Cargo Declaration system.
We appreciate your cooperation and compliance.
