CEMAC Buyers Permit in Cameroon: The Complete Guide for Gold and Diamond Investors

The CEMAC Buyers Permit is a real and legally recognized requirement for anyone intending to purchase gold, diamonds, or other precious minerals in Cameroon and across the CEMAC region. Issued by the CEMAC Buyers Permit Department (CBPD) in Cameroon, this document is part of the official regulatory framework to monitor and secure the trading of natural resources.

For international gold and diamond buyers, obtaining this permit is the first step toward a safe, legal, and profitable investment. However, because scams are common in the African gold market, investors must carefully verify all permit details through official CEMAC and Ministry of Mines channels.
