Is a CEE mandatory for Guinea Bissau?

Yes. A Certificado Electronico de Embarque is required for containerised cargo destined for Guinea Bissau. The reference must be obtained at the port of loading, before the cargo ships, and endorsed on the Bill of Lading. Without it, your shipment can be held, refused loading, or penalised on arrival.
