(Business in Cameroon) - Forged customs documents could be the reason why the Adamaoua customs office did not generate the expected revenues (CFA1.1 billion) in 2017.

“Forged documents allow the user to bypass customs clearance. There are many bikes with forged documents in our country (…) because of this, our performances decreased in 2017 (CFA740 million) as we have detected about 1,000 of these bikes in the region”, revealed Norbert Ahidjo, interim customs chief in Adamaoua, during a meeting on March 16, 2018.

Let’s note that motorcycles are well-valued in the northern region. Therefore, Adamaoua is one of the hubs where motorcycles (imported from Nigeria, fraudulently ) are mainly sold.
