Introduction to FERI/AD in DRC

Introduction to FERI：

According to the circular issued by the Democratic Republic of the Congo on April 22, 2008, all goods shipped to the port(MATADI) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or transit port (such as DAR ES SALAAM, MOMBASA, DURBAN, POINTE NOIRE port) must apply for F.E.R.I.(Fiche Electronique des Renseignements à l’importation) before the ship arrives. Otherwise it can be  be regarded as the violation of the regulations in DRC and resulted in heavy penalties and the failure of customs clearance。

Introduction to AD

AD: AD (Certificate of Destination/ The Attestation de Destination)is a shipping document for goods transported by road or railway from a port of transit/destination to the DRC.

ADR: ADR(Regional Certificate of Destination/ The Attestation de Destination Régionaleis) is a document for goods originated in Africa and transported by road or railway to DRC.

Consequently, all cargo transported from destination port or originated from Africa should apply for the AD or ADR certificate signed by OGEFREM or its agent.
