The rules that decide the deal

An age limit applies to used vehicles and a conformity certificate is required before shipment. Certification and the CEMAC tariff decide the clearance cost.

Douala handles RoRo and containers and sits at the head of the road corridors into Chad and the Central African Republic. Grouping Chad-bound units into a Douala consignment is the standard approach.

  • Douala is the gateway for Chad and the Central African Republic as well as Cameroon itself.

Age limits, certification routes and duty lines are taken from published rules and reviewed by our team, but customs assesses each vehicle individually. Treat anything here as a planning input, not as an assessment.

Cameroon import questions

What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Cameroon?
An age limit applies, with conformity certification required.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Cameroon?
Cameroon drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. An age limit applies to used vehicles and a conformity certificate is required before shipment. Certification and the CEMAC tariff decide the clearance cost.
Which port does a car from China clear at for Cameroon?
Douala. Douala handles RoRo and containers and sits at the head of the road corridors into Chad and the Central African Republic. Grouping Chad-bound units into a Douala consignment is the standard approach.
How much does it cost to import a car from China to Cameroon?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty is 20% of CIF. 2 further lines stack on top: CEMAC community integration levy, VAT. Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Cameroon?
RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
