Goods imported in Cameroon are categorized according to their value irrespective of whether or not the goods fall within the scope of the Customs Revenue Security Program (PSRD) which was set up by the President of the Republic N°95/004 of December 7, 1995. This program subjects goods of a certain value to a pre-shipment inspection by an authorized organization mandated by the Government of the Republic of Cameroon. In this regard, there are four categories as follows:
– Goods with an FOB value of < 1 million CFA francs do not require an import declaration and are not subject to the inspection procedure;
– Goods with an FOB/DI value equal to or greater than 1 million CFA francs, but less than 2 million CFA francs require the lifting of a DI, but are not subject to an inspection procedure verification procedure;
– Goods with an FOB/DI value in excess of 2 million CFA francs; require the lifting of a DI and fall within the scope of the pre-shipment (or pre-shipment) inspection procedure,
– Goods exempt from the inspection procedure, whatever their FOB/DI value. The list of these goods is available from the Guichet Unique (One Stop Shop).
