Overview

The Oyem regional customs directorate is one of the four field services of the Directorate General of Customs and Indirect Duties (DGDDI). According to the customs map published by the DGDDI, it was created by decree No. 338/PR/MINECOFIN/PART of 22 April 1977 and covers the Woleu-Ntem province. It supervises the customs offices and posts in its area, where declarations are filed, goods are inspected and duties and taxes are assessed, with collection handled by the Treasury. The 1977 decree called it the Woleu-Ntem regional directorate. Its area, in the north of the country, borders Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea: the customs map places there the Eboro, Bitam, Kom, Minvoul, Sam and Médouneu offices or posts. It is therefore the competent directorate for overland trade with these two neighbouring countries. Telephone details specific to the regional directorate are not published; the switchboard of the directorate general in Libreville and the toll-free number 1118 remain the official contact points.
