IMPORTANT INFO:

•  Without Exception ALL payment is due at the time drop off or pickup.
• Charges for vehicles are ONLY for transportation from the USA to Cameroon. Duties, taxes and all other related clearing charges for vehicles are determined in Cameroon. We can only give you estimates.
• All items MUST be properly labeled with names and contact phone numbers in USA & Cameroon. Click here to download labels
• Properly label (names/numbers of sender & receiver, on the bag, box or carton and on the wrap, too), tape and properly shrink-wrap. Click here to download labels

• Tape and properly shrink-wrap all bags, cartons, and boxes.
• Fragile items are shipped at your own risk

While we do not anticipate items getting missing or lost, however, because of insurance policies (or the lack of it), compensation for any loss or damage to items sent is LIMITED to the cost paid for shipment (and NOT the value of cargo). Given the political climate in Cameroon, some items will be opened by the customs during inspection at the port. We cannot guarantee your items will not be opened.
