CEMAC
Cameroon belongs to the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC), which shares a common currency, the CFA franc (XAF) issued by the BEAC, and a common external tariff.
The African Continental Free Trade Area
The AfCFTA aims to progressively reduce tariffs and non-tariff barriers between African countries. Its practical benefits depend on rules of origin, national tariff schedules and customs implementation, which should be checked product by product.
Why it matters for us
Regional rules shape which markets can be served from Cameroon, at what cost. Before any export plan, we check the applicable tariff line, origin rules and documentation with the relevant authorities.
