1. Country / Territory Brief
Cameroon is a low middle income country of abundant and diverse natural resources. Crude oil, lumber, cocoa, coffee and
cotton are among its key exports commodities towards mainly the Chinese market, Netherlands, Spain, India and Portugal.
Thanks to its diversified and strong economy, Cameroon is considered the motor of the central African Region, especially for the
CEMAC countries. Its leading partners in the zone are Equatorial Guinea, followed by Chad and Congo. Nonetheless, the
country still has difficulties channeling the revenues obtained from trade into structural investments in infrastructure and the
productive sectors.
Cameroon is accumulating great efforts to facilitate its trade environment. In 2013 the country was classified 161 out of 185
countries on the Ease of Doing Business ranking, which constitutes a move upward of more than 4 places from its rank in the
previous year. The Douala free port is the hub of foreign trade and importers are allowed eleven free days without having to pay
storage fees. Furthermore, the country is making tremendous efforts to optimize its one stop shop for foreign trade GUCE which
digitalization is under way.

4.2 Domestic and Foreign Market Access
Overview: Trade Policy and Business Environment
The republic of Cameroon is classified as a lower middle income country in Central Africa. Cameroon was ranked 118th out of
132 countries in the World Economic Forum (WEF) Enabling Trade Index (2012), which measures institutions, policies and
services to facilitate trade in countries. With a naturally advantageous position at the heart of Africa, Cameroon has become a
regional centre for trade in goods and services. The agriculture, manufacturing and service sectors remain key to the health of
the Cameroonian economy yet GDP growth has been restricted in recent years due to energy supply reaching capacity. The
country’s export range remains amongst a small group of primary products, notably; agricultural and forestry products. There
has been a lack of growth in exports since 2007, due to incessant supply-side constraints including poor energy,
communications, water and transport infrastructure, as well as an overall unfavourable business climate (WTO 2013).

INDICATOR, UNITS
RANK/132 SCORE
Domestic Market Access The pillar assesses the level and complexity of a country’s tariff protection
as a result of its trade policy. This component includes the effective trade-weighted average tariff
applied by a country, the share of goods imported duty free and the complexity of the tariff regime,
measured through tariff variance, the prevalence of tariff peaks and specific tariffs, and the number
of distinct tariffs.
125
3.39
Foreign Market Access The pillar assesses tariff barriers faced by a country’s exporters in destination
markets. It includes the average tariffs faced by the country as well as the margin of preference in
destination markets negotiated through bilateral or regional trade agreements or granted in the form
of trade preferences.
58
2.81
Tariff rate (%) This indicator is calculated as a trade-weighted average of all the applied tariff rates,
including preferential rates that a country applies to the rest of the world. The weights are the trade
patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). An applied tariff is a customs duty
that is levied on imports of merchandise goods.
128
14.26
Complexity of tariffs , index 1-7 (best) This indicator is calculated as the average of the following
indicators: Tariff dispersion, Specific tariffs and Number of distinct tariffs. See description of each
individual indicator for more details. Prior to averaging, values for each indicator were transformed to
a 1–7 score, using the min-max method.
28
6.58
Tariffs dispersion (standard deviation) This indicator reflects differences in tariffs across product
categories in a country’s tariff structure. The variance is calculated across all the tariffs on imported
merchandise goods, at the 6-digit level of the Harmonized Schedule.
93
9.62
Tariffs peaks (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of tariff lines exceeding three times the
average domestic tariff (across all products) to the MFN (most-favoured nation) tariff schedule. The
tariff schedule is equal to the total number of tariff lines for each country. These tariffs are revised on
a yearly basis.
1
0.00
Specific tariffs (%) This indicator is the ratio of the number of Harmonized System (HS) tariff lines,
with at least one specific tariff, to the total number of HS tariff lines. A specific tariff is a tariff rate
charged on fixed amount per quantity (as opposed to ad valorem)
1
0.00
Number of distinct tariffs This indicator reflects the number of distinct tariff rates applied by a country
to its imports across all sectors.
19
5.00
Share of duty-free imports (%) Share of trade, excluding petroleum, that is imported free of tariff
duties, taking into account MFN tariffs and preferential agreements. Tariff data is from 2013 or most
recent year available and imports data is from 2012
110
21.49
Tariffs faced (%) This indicator is calculated as the trade-weighted average of the applied tariff rates, 104
including preferential rates that the rest of the world applies to each country. The weights are the
trade patterns of the importing country’s reference group (2012 data). A tariff is a customs duty that is
levied by the destination country on imports of merchandise goods
5.55
Index of margin of preference in destination markets, 0-100 (best) This indicator measures the
percentage by which particular imports from one country are subject to lower tariffs than the MFN
rate. It is calculated as the average of two components: 1) the trade-weighted average difference
between the MFN tariff and the most advantageous preferential duty (advantage score), and 2) the
ratio of the advantage score to the trade-weighted average MFN tariff level. This allows capturing
both the absolute and the relative margin of preference.

Trade Policy and Market Access
Cameroon is a founder member of the WTO and, in addition, is a member of the main regional economic communities, the
Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) and the Economic Community of Central African states
(ECCAS). Cameroon, as a member of the CEMAC Customs Union, adopts the CEMAC common external tariff (CET) and its
simple average MFN rate in 2013 was 18.1 per cent. Despite the establishment of the free trade area among CEMAC countries,
the level of intra-community trade has remained low overall; distortion of CET and numerous non-tariff barriers form
impediments to trade in the region such as overtaxing of goods, random checkpoints along corridors and highways remaining in
poor condition. Cameroon is, however, the only country among the seven Central African states to have signed an interim
Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU, and therein stands to benefit from preferential access to EU markets. The
government gives trade integration a leading role in its ‘Vision 2035’ strategy to transform Cameroon into an ‘emerging
economy’. This includes further integration with Nigeria and within ECCAS, yet the government acknowledges that
improvements to market access and cross-border trade are required to achieve these ambitious goals. In an effort to spur trade
in Cameroon the government is proposing, in 2013, a raft of policy incentives to foreign firms such as: tax, customs and
administrative streamlining to improve transparency and further liberalisation of the market. (WTO 2013; European Commission
2013; ADB 2011).

Standard Compliance and Other Relevant Import/Export Restrictions
The CEMAC Agreements contains two articles dealing with the harmonisation of technical and health regulations, standards and conformity
assessments. However, it does not mention the Technical barriers to trade (TBTs) Agreement, although it calls for the elimination of any measure
that negatively affects trade between parties. Among CEMAC countries, only Cameroon has a sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) enquiry point, which
remain non-operational due to a lack of internet access and are therefore in need of capacity building assistance. Moreover, notification of sanitary
or phytosanitary measures have not been made to the WTO, except for select sanitary import measures in place since 2006. In 2011, the CEMAC
countries recently signed a memorandum of agreement creating the Central African Sub-regional Metrology Organization (CEMACMET), aiming to
promote metrology and related activities to facilitating trade.

4.3 Trade Facilitation
Description
According to the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI) (2012) which measures countries’ trade
logistics efficiency, Cameroon was ranked 106th out of 155 countries. The scores for infrastructure, logistics
competence and international shipments are marginally behind the regional average scores of Sub-Saharan
African countries, whereas customs, infrastructure, international shipments, tracking and tracing and
timeliness perform better than those countries. Cameroon has reformed its customs administration including
the adoption of the Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA++) in 2007, which was developed by
UNCTAD to bring about customs reform, simplification of procedures and trade facilitation; this has improved
Cameroon’s customs performance and has facilitated a rise up the ranks from 123rd in 2010 to 96th in 2012.
The OECD also measures the performance of trade facilitation in Cameroon and highlighted that involvement
of the trade community, advance rulings, automation, and governance and impartiality are notably better than
the averages of Sub-Saharan African and lower middle income countries, whereas Cameroon’s performance
for the simplification and harmonisation of documents and internal border agency co-operation are below the
averages of those countries. According to the World Bank Doing Business Report (2013), exporting one
standard container of goods requires 11 documents, takes 23 days and costs USD 1,379. Importing the same
container of goods requires 11 documents, takes 25 days and costs USD 2,167 (OECD 2013; WTO 2013;
World Bank 2012).

4.4 Business and Regulatory Environment
Description
The latest World Bank Doing Business Report (2013) ranked Cameroon 161st out of 185 economies.
Cameroon is behind the regional average of Sub-Saharan countries but performs better than Equatorial
Guinea, Gabon and The Congo. Among the 10 categories analysed by this survey, Cameroon performs
relatively better in getting electricity, whereas paying taxes and enforcing contracts are particularly
unfavourable. Cameroon is a member of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa
(OHADA), which has brought Cameroonian business laws in line with other African member countries.
Cameroon’s business laws are relatively clear, but its law enforcement is weak. The privatisation of state
owned fixed-line telecommunications business has failed several times although new proposals in 2013, if
implemented, should provide further incentives for FDI. Aiming to serve businesses, Cameroon's leading
private sector association, Groupement inter patronal du Cameroun (GICAM) has pressed the government
to simplify public procurement and contract award procedures. A new government procurement rule created
in 2012 is expected to improve the awarding of contracts procedures and reduce the proportion of contracts
being awarded under private agreements. The state however continues to play a key role in Cameroonian
trade with holdings in some 30 of the top 50 companies (WTO 2013; Bertelsmann Stiftung 2012).

4.5 Infrastructure
The latest World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report ranked the quality of overall infrastructure of Cameroon
115th out of 148 countries. Among the categories analysed by this survey, quality of roads, mobile telephone subscriptions per
100 of the population and quality of electricity supply are particularly deficient. Also, at the multilateral level, there is a need to
improve transport infrastructure. The Central African States Development Bank estimated that transport costs through the
N’Djamena (Chad) and Douala (Cameroon) corridor are several times higher than the cost of shipping between Shanghai and
Douala. According to the World Bank study (2010), high power costs are one of the key impediments to competitiveness and
growth. A lack of reliable electricity is estimated to cost 5 per cent in lost revenues to firms and 2 per cent in lost GDP growth
annually; however the situation is forecasted to improve in 2013 when the new Kribi power station comes on line. In order to
alleviate critical infrastructure bottlenecks, large public infrastructure projects in ports, energy, roads, telecommunications,
mining, and water supply have already been launched. In the telecommunication sector, the duopoly market structure and its
strict licencing rules have led to a mobile market penetration rate below the African average; however, Cameroon’s third mobile
licence was recently approved in June 2013, which should increase competition in the sector. Banking services in Cameroon
remain dominated by a small number of private firms in partnership with the government, whilst overall foreign firms enjoy
completely open access to the Cameroonian market (IMF 2011; World Bank 2010; WTO 2013).
