The General Manager of the Cameroon National Shippers’ Council (CNSC) hereby informs shippers, shipping agents, Licensed Customs Brokers and insurers that the implementation of Circular No. 00000504 /MINFI/SG/DGTCFM/DA of 7 May 2026 laying down the new procedure for the payment of container rental insurance fees on the Single Window (GUCE) E-Force platform, originally scheduled to take effect on 4 May 2026, has been postponed to a later date.

Considering the above and to ensure the smooth continuation of container clearing operations, shippers are requested to:

1. Contact their shipping agents with their insurance certificates to arrange for container availability, particularly for those who have initiated and paid the container rental insurance fees via the E-Force platform;

2. Contact GUCE by email to request for the cancellation of the procedure on E-Force if they have initiated the procedure but have not yet made payment;

3. Continue with the standard procedure to pay the container rental fee to the shipping agent for those who have not initiated any procedure on the E-Force platform.

Douala, 18 March 2026
