Import procedures in Cameroon run through the GUCE single window using a single electronic foreign-trade form, in a process that includes bank domiciliation and customs declaration. At Douala, customs clearance is handled at designated port offices, and your licensed broker (see Chapter 11) manages the declaration and any physical inspection on your behalf. Cameroon's trusted-trader scheme rewards compliant importers with faster clearance, so ask your broker how your business can qualify once you have a track record. Keep every official receipt, since unofficial payments to speed up clearance create real legal exposure and are never necessary for a properly documented shipment.
