Equatorial Guinea
Aduo’s first live country. Checklists cover imports, exports and transfers through the ports of Malabo, Bata and Luba, built from the CEMAC Customs Code.
What Aduo covers here
Checklists built from the CEMAC Customs Code
Equatorial Guinea applies the customs code shared by the CEMAC member states. Aduo’s checklists for imports, exports and transfers are built from it.
Declarations in SIDUNEA
Customs declarations are lodged in SIDUNEA. Aduo tracks each approved import declaration and the customs release (levante) that follows it.
Temporary imports with DGA authorizations
Equipment brought in temporarily needs a DGA authorization. Aduo keeps the authorization and any extensions with the shipment, tracks what is still left to export, and alerts your team before the deadline.
Built for CEMAC currency
Values are converted with daily exchange rates and the XAF peg, normalized to US dollars, and shown in each user’s preferred currency.
Working with customs in Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea is a member of CEMAC, the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa. Its customs rules come from the CEMAC Customs Code, which the member states share, and they are administered by the Dirección General de Aduanas.
Declarations go through SIDUNEA, the Spanish-language name for the ASYCUDA customs system. Customs work in the country happens in Spanish, so Aduo keeps the local terms, such as levante for the customs release, alongside the English ones.
Much of the equipment that oil, gas and mining operators bring in enters under temporary import. Each temporary import needs a DGA authorization, and the equipment has to leave again by its re-export deadline unless an extension is granted. Aduo keeps all of that attached to the shipment.
