Cameroon to impose log export ban

In recent years, the Government of Cameroon has taken steps to gradually increase the export tariffs on logs in order to improve the development of the country's wood processing industry.

From 2017 to 2023, Cameroon's log export duty rate has been gradually increased from 17.5 per cent to 60 per cent, an overall increase of 243 per cent, while in 2024, it may be further increased to 75 percent.
