The regulation and repression mechanisms for fraud have allowed for the settlement of 656 disputed cases during the period from May 15 to June 15, 2026. The settlement of these cases results in the recovery of 2,067,611,974 FCFA in compromised or evaded duties, to which are added 2,973,959,315 FCFA in penal fines, representing a total contribution of over five billion FCFA to the public treasury.

The comparative analysis highlights an acceleration of repressive activity compared to the previous month, illustrating improved efficiency of surveillance services. Evasion duties show an increase of 976,239,655 FCFA, representing a jump of 85.6%, while the envelope of financial penalties progresses by 37.4%, representing an additional gain of 774,656,858 FCFA. The geography of customs risk consecrates the operational dominance of central services, the Littoral I and South II sectors. Central services occupy the first place with 1,571,882,292 FCFA in rectified duties and 2,475,821,000 FCFA in fines, followed by the port hub of Douala (Littoral I), which accounts for 220 treated cases for a total yield of over 580 million FCFA.

The typology of offenses reveals the persistence of illegal optimization practices among authorized customs brokers and importers. The non-execution of commitments subscribed to dominates the nomenclature with 136 cases recorded, closely followed by false declaration of value (119 cases) and undeclared imports (87 cases). Financially, the clandestine introduction of highly taxed goods proves to be the most detrimental, generating 1,000,000,117 FCFA in evaded duties on its own. Faced with the sophistication of fraud circuits, customs guidelines now prescribe an intensification of risk profiling and a mutualization of skills between mobile brigades and special missions to ensure the integrity of the national market space.
