What is a CNCA Document?
A CNCA loading certificate is mandatory for every shipment to ports in Angola, including Luanda, Lobito or any other port. It is also referred to by the abbreviations CNC and ARC Number. The use of the CNCA Loading Certificate (LC), created as a regulation by the Angolan Customs Authorities in 1994, is authorised by ARCCLA (Agencia Reguladora de Certificaço de Cargas e Logistica de Angola).
