The Basics
Local Customs: Customs and culture in Chad vary quite a bit in terms of the
diverse tribal and religious backgrounds of the local population.
Some etiquette in Chad is universal however, including respect for
elders and maintaining a reserved demeanour in public. Smoking and
drinking in public is frowned on. Women should dress conservatively
with their shoulders and legs covered, and shorts are generally not
worn in public. Visitors to Chad should respect the restrictions in
place during Ramadan, including not eating during the day. Never
attempt to shake a person's hand, give or receive money, or eat
with the left hand as it is considered unclean.
Duty Free: Visitors to Chad may import three bottles of wine and one bottle
of spirits, and an amount of perfume reasonable for personal use.
Men may possess up to 400 cigarettes/125 cigars/500g of tobacco,
while women may only bring cigarettes.
