The Basics
Local Customs: Local customs and culture in the Central African Republic are
split between the relatively equal Muslim and Christian
populations, so conservative dress is a good idea in all areas,
including covered thighs and shoulder for women. In rural areas it
is customary for people to eat with their hands, but one should
never eat, shake hands, or offer someone money with their left
hand. Always ask permission before photographing a military or
government building.
Duty Free: Travellers to the Central African Republic are allowed the
following: five bottles of alcohol and five bottles of perfume. Men
may import up to 1,000 cigarettes or cigarillos/250 cigars/2kg of
tobacco, while women may only bring cigarettes. Firearms must be
declared. All animal skins and diamonds must be declared on
departure.
