Cameroon's timber exports face strict control measures
Release time: 2025-07-24
Of particular concern is the standardization of log labeling, the clarity of producer names, and the validation of CFAD and AAC reference standards. Any minor negligence may lead to delays in export approval. Although these requirements have long been the norm in neighboring Gabon, their strict implementation in Cameroon marks a significant shift, forcing timber operators to re-examine and optimize their operational processes.
According to reports, the Cameroonian government has taken decisive measures to effectively curb the export of logs and instead vigorously promote the export of sawn timber. Some producers have revealed that the special quota for logs they used to enjoy no longer exists.
To ensure compliance in the timber industry, forestry and customs officials conduct comprehensive and meticulous inspections of every sawmill truck and container transported to Douala or Kribi ports. Without complete forestry department documents, tax certificates, and certificates of origin, the goods will not be able to be unloaded at the port. This measure completely abandons the previous informal operation methods and aims to make Cameroon's timber industry fully compliant with international standard The article is excerpted from the Wooden Man Wood Market on WeChat official account
