The Cameroon National Shippers’ Council (CNCC), in partnership with the SME Promotion Agency (APME), organised a consultation meeting in Yaoundé on Wednesday 22 April 2026, bringing together several key government institutions, notably the Investment Promotion Agency (IPA), the Customs Department and Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).

The purpose of the meeting was to examine the difficulties faced by business persons (big enterprises and SMEs) benefiting from approval under the Private Investment Incentives Scheme in Cameroon.

The discussions highlighted the responsibilities of each stakeholder, including those of business persons, who were particularly questioned on the compilation of the provisional lists for products eligible for customs duty exemption.

Training sessions will be organised for this purpose, specifically for business persons, with a view to improve their understanding of applicable procedures, reduce information gaps and provide better services to investors.
