12 dealers in Cameroon
The equipment market in Cameroon
Cameroon is Central Africa's largest economy, and Douala is a regional hub for equipment dealers, with its port also serving Chad and the Central African Republic.
Roads, dams and port works drive construction demand, forestry uses logging machines, and plantations use tractors. The deep-water port at Kribi is growing.
Importing and registering equipment in Cameroon
Ports
Douala is the main port and also serves Chad and the Central African Republic; Kribi is a newer deep-water port.
Certificate before shipping
Regulated products need a Certificate of Conformity before shipment under the PECAE programme run by ANOR (the national standards agency).
Cargo tracking note
Sea shipments need a cargo tracking note (BESC) issued before loading. Your freight forwarder normally arranges it.
Customs
Clearance is through Cameroon Customs (Douanes camerounaises). Most importers use a licensed clearing agent.
Registering for road use
Machines used on public roads must be registered and plated with the national vehicle registration authority. Your dealer or a local clearing agent can usually arrange this.
General guidance only. Rules change, so confirm with the official bodies or your clearing agent before you buy. Last checked October 2026.
