C.N.C.A. is the Angolan government agency that regulates the implementation of Decree No. 19/94, dated 28 January 1994, published in the Statue Book of Angola D.R., May 1994.

The following is a summary of the National Council of Angolan Shippers’ regulation:

All cargo destined to Angola has to have an import license and every bill of lading has to be accompanied by a loading certificate.
Only the C.N.C.A. or its agents have the authority to issue loading certificates.
Each bill of lading must have a corresponding loading certificate.
Without a loading certificate, cargo will not be cleared.
Each loading certificate has a specific serial number that is duly signed, dated and stamped by the authorized C.N.C.A. agent.
To receive a loading certificate, the shipper has to pay the following Harbor Data Processing and Loading Certificate Fees:

20' Container	US$100.00/container
40' Container	US$200.00/container
Bulk/conventional	US$5.00 per w/m
Loading Certificate fees	US$60.00 per bill of lading

The above charges have to be collected at the moment that the cargo is loaded.
