Cameroon Customs

Cameroon customs on your OverlandingAfrica.com travels are fairly straightforward, with basic allowances and restrictions as per most West African countries.

Some items are restricted or prohibited, and may not be brought into the country at all – or need to be heavily restricted for safety or security reasons.

  • Narcotic, habit-forming drugs and related substances are prohibited
  • Military firearms, ammunition and explosives are prohibited
  • Indecent and obscene material such as pornography are prohibited
  • Meat and meat products are restricted
  • Plants and plant cuttings are subject to plant health restrictions

Other items such as currency, radios, cameras, film, gifts and agricultural items should be declared on arrival. Failing to declare items could result in fines or problems, so make sure you list all items that you're unsure of.

A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Cameroon, regardless of country of origin, and travellers may be refused entry at customs without this certificate.
