Gold remains one of Cameroon’s most traded and most sensitive mineral resources. Every year, international buyers fall victim to scams due to fake documents, unlicensed brokers, and unauthorized exporters. To protect buyers and maintain transparency in the mineral sector, the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development (MINMITD) emphasizes one rule:
👉 No one may buy or export gold from Cameroon without a valid CEMAC Buyer’s Permit.
This blog post explains what the permit is, how to verify it, how to apply, how to avoid fraud, and where to download the official forms.
⚠️ Why Verifying a CEMAC Buyer’s Permit Is Mandatory
Gold scams in Cameroon often occur because buyers fail to verify documentation. The CEMAC Buyer’s Permit is the only document that authorizes international buyers to export gold under Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) regulations.
A verified permit ensures:
- The seller is legally registered
- The gold originates from an approved source
- The trade complies with CEMAC customs, taxation, and insurance laws
- Your investment is protected
