Border post
Bitam customs office
Overview
Bitam appears on the customs map published by the Directorate General of Customs and Indirect Duties (DGDDI) among existing customs offices and posts, within the area of the Oyem regional directorate. Bitam is a town in northern Woleu-Ntem, close to Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. On the map its office sits next to the Eboro office, further north, in the border area with Cameroon. A border post of this kind receives declarations for goods crossing the border by road and checks vehicles and travellers; CEMAC-originating goods approved for the preferential tariff move under cover of the certificate of origin. The DGDDI does not publish an exact address, opening hours or contact details for this post: the map position is the locality and should be treated as approximate.
