Overview

Doussala 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 Port-Gentil regional directorate. According to OpenStreetMap, Doussala is a village in the Dola department of Ngounié, south-east of Ndendé. It is the exit point towards Congo of the Ndendé-Doussala road, whose 48 km paving, backed by the African Development Bank, is due for delivery in 2027 with a weighing station, according to Gabonmediatime. 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.
