Transit & Customs Clearance
Fast, compliant customs clearance and transit documentation across all major ports and border crossings in Central Africa and international trade corridors.
What We Do
ZenithFret SARL handles the full spectrum of customs and transit documentation for goods entering and exiting Cameroon and the CEMAC zone. From pre-clearance processing at the Port of Douala to inland border crossings at Ngaoundéré and Belabo, our licensed agents ensure your cargo moves swiftly, legally, and without costly delays.
We work with importers, exporters, freight forwarders, and mining operations to provide end-to-end customs solutions — including HS code classification, duty and tax computation, CEMAC certificate of origin management, and real-time tracking of declaration status.
Our Customs Services
