Dear Business Partner,

We would like to inform you about an important update from the Cameroon National Shippers’ Council concerning the shipping documents for goods heading to Cameroon. As set out in the Finance Law of the Republic of Cameroon for the 2024 financial year, shipping documents must now contain additional details.

In particular, the following additional information must be provided:

• The commercial description and tariff classification of the goods (HS Code)
• The first year of registration of imported vehicles

Shippers who do not provide this information to shipping lines and forwarders when preparing their bills of lading will be subject to fines ranging from 500,000 CFAF to 2,000,000 CFAF.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

With 25 years of experience in the sector and a solution-oriented approach, “SCK Representation” is the sole consultant and assistant for exporters in handling complex processes, including the Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN) for Cameroon.
