*Prices and times are estimated. They can vary depending on the season and the type of vehicle.

*Save the ground cost by delivering the vehicle to the nearest port.

*Allow an additional 10 days to process the documents.

*Prices are for 1 car in a dedicated 20ft container. This is the safest and most reliable way to transport an automobile internationally. Other items may be included in the container to help save you money when moving.

*Using the RoRo (roll on, roll off) method is less expensive and shipments can be completed in fewer days. Contact us now for a free RoRo quote.

Though it's certainly achievable, especially with the help of A-1 Auto, moving your car to Cameroon from the United States can be quite difficult if you were to attempt to do it yourself. Located in West Central Africa, the Republic of Cameroon, as it is officially known, has a population of 21.5 million.

Bordering Nigeria, the Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and the Republic of Congo, its coastline is a part of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Guinea. Many have referred to Cameroon as being a microcosm of Africa as a whole due to its geographical diversity, which includes everything from rainforests to deserts. Cameroon, being a hub of economic activity and cultural diversity, attracts people from all over the world, making it an ideal destination for shipping cars and exploring its rich landscapes. Whether it's for personal use or commercial purposes, moving can be a convenient and efficient way to ensure you have reliable delivery during your stay. However, it is important to research and understand the customs regulations and requirements before embarking on this process.

Though English and French are its official languages, much of the population doesn't speak them with fluency. Many official government workers do, however. To deliver a car, you will need to comply with the local regulations and provide the necessary documentation. It is recommended to hire a reputable logistics company that has experience in handling international car shipments to ensure a smooth and hassle-free process. One important consideration when shipping is to ensure that all necessary documentation, such as proof of ownership and customs paperwork, is in order. Additionally, it is advisable to check the regulations and requirements imposed by the government regarding vehicle importation, such as necessary documentation, taxes, and customs duties.

One of the main issues with delivering anything to Cameroon is that there is a large amount of corruption that still exists throughout the country, despite the government's best efforts to curtail it. A major reason for the corruption that exists is that like much of Africa, is experiencing great economic duress, with many of its citizens living way below the poverty line. Under the rule of President Biya since 1982, his Beti ethnic group is in charge of many important government positions in the country, which has exacerbated the corruption that exists there. Despite these challenges, hauling can still be a viable option for those looking to relocate or travel to the country.

Despite all of the corruption that's there, A-1 Auto can make sure that your vehicle arrives at its final destination.

Import Recommendations

As was previously noted, not everyone speaks English, but many government officials working at customs will. One should be more concerned with the widespread corruption in the region than with its language. The region as a whole suffers from long delays in deliveries, not just in Cameroon, and this is mostly attributable to graft, understaffing, and inefficiency.

Having connections with local officials is vital to limit the amount of “extra” fees that can arise based on the discretion of the official and to make sure that your vehicle arrives from the United States without any unforeseen circumstances. A-1 Auto has enough experience in dealing with authorities in Cameroon to limit these extra fees and to make sure that your shipment is secure during the whole process.

Required Documents

To import your automobile into Cameroon, you will need the following:

  1. Proof of Ownership of the Vehicle.
  2. Proof of Insurance in the United States.
  3. Purchase Invoice / Bill of Sale (Price, Date, and Location of Original Purchase)
  4. Certificate of Registration.
  5. The Final Destination of the Automobile.

*You will have to pay taxes and duties on all cars unless the car's final destination is a permanent address. If this is not the case, the taxes and duties will be calculated based on the age of the vehicle.

Methods Available

Shipping/Exporting your car to Cameroon from the United States may seem intimidating, but A-1 Auto will handle all of the details. Though it's a part of Africa, due to safety concerns and the regulations of other African nations, it's not recommended that the automobile be shipped/exported via land transit from outside of Cameroon. Here are your main options.

  • Roll-On and Roll-Off Service: This is the most commonly used method, as it is the cheapest. If you choose to deliver your automobile from the United States to Cameroon using this method, your vehicle will be placed on a car deck on the freight ship, where it will be put in place securely. The one downside to this method is that it can take a long time and isn't always consistent in terms of the arrival time.
  • Container Service: Choosing to ship your vehicle through this method will cost more, but it does have its perks. First, your automobile will be shipped from the United States in its very own container. Not only will it provide an extra layer of security, but it will also allow you to place other items in the container as well, provided that they're not placed inside the vehicle. It'll also arrive a bit faster and is much more reliable.

Main Ports of Arrival

Cameroon has multiple ports to choose from, though Doula is its biggest and most secure port. The list of ports available to ship to are:

  • Doula
  • Garoua
  • Bamenda
  • Bafoussam
  • Yaounde

You'll need to gain customs clearance and an official stamp before taking your car. It helps to call to see if your automobile has arrived if no one has contacted you. In addition, prior research is recommended on how to get your vehicle from the port to the final destination.

A-1 Auto can help arrange all of this for you and will help safeguard your vehicle the whole way!

Dispatching Of Heavy Equipment & Oversized Cargo

A1 AT is the one-stop shop for shipping all your heavy equipment and oversized cargo from the United States to Cameroon. Plenty of logistical hurdles go into moving your large, heavy cargo, and having a company that is versed in overseas delivery will save you time and money. That’s where A1 comes in with decades of industry experience in equipment worldwide.

We have delivered a wide range of equipment overseas in recent months, including:

  • Bulldozers
  • Forklifts
  • Pontoon Boats
  • Agricultural Equipment
  • Log Loaders
  • Asphalt Pavers
  • Boom Lifts
  • Heavy Trucks
  • Engines
  • Hydraulic Equipment
  • Cranes

To ship your heavy equipment or oversized cargo, we’ll have to take the size and weight into account. These will be the biggest indicators of cost when exporting from the United States to Cameroon. Getting your cargo’s exact dimensions and weight will allow you to gauge the cost of your item and where on the cargo ship your item will be placed. There are a handful of ship-loading methods that will influence the price of transporting your cargo. Other fees will apply when gaining compliance with the U.S.’s export policies and Cameroon’s import policies. A1 can help streamline the process and align you with the most cost-saving approach while efficiently hauling your equipment. We can also manage unique cases and sizings that are sometimes best discussed over the phone.

Overseas Delivery Options with Us

  • The Lift On/Lift Off (LoLo)method, uses a crane to place your cargo on the ship. This type of overseas works well for cargo that is inoperable. Either the cargo ship or the dock has a crane mounted to move your equipment
  • The Roll On/Roll Off (RoRo) method, is predominately used for operable vehicles that can wheel on and off on their power. Typically the cheapest method due to the convenience.
  • The Flat Rack method allows for unconventional sizing and flexibility. Given that it’s an open-sided, topless container, many unusual shapes and sizes can be accommodated for international hauling. In case of bad weather, shrink wrap can be purchased that will offer additional protection.
  • Container delivery is for cargo that can fit in a container size of 40ft and under. Usually stacked amongst other containers on a cargo ship, it offers walled-in protection at a slightly higher cost.
