Belangrijkste feiten: Equatorial Guinea
Christmas is a major holiday and an accepted occasion for business gifts.
Cultuur van eindejaarsgeschenken: Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea is predominantly Catholic, and Christmas and the New Year are public holidays. It is the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa, and Spanish is the language of business and should be used on cards. The economy is dominated by oil and gas and by the public sector, so many corporate recipients are energy companies and government-linked entities in Malabo and Bata. Gifts are generally given to named contacts, with an emphasis on quality and presentation. Public officials may be bound by rules on gifts, and international companies often apply strict internal compliance for this market. Heat and humidity affect chocolate in transit. Curated boxes with discreet branding and a personal card tend to be favored. Large energy companies typically distribute gifts through their local offices in Malabo. Allow ample time for customs clearance.

Goed om te doen
- Write cards in Spanish
- Order early: international courier transit plus customs clearance can take one to two weeks or more
- Add a printed card in the main business language with a personal line
- Favor heat-stable items (tea, plush, baubles, branded keepsakes) if delivery is outside air-conditioned premises
Te vermijden
- Don't ship chocolate without heat protection
- Don't send gifts to public officials without checking their internal rules
Ontwerp en tekst
Christmas wording and imagery are appropriate for most recipients; neutral 'Season's Greetings' suits international or mixed teams.
Levering: Equatorial Guinea
Ships from Poland by international courier; import duties and local VAT or sales taxes are normally charged on arrival and can be quoted in advance, and customs clearance adds time. Courier coverage is concentrated in Malabo and Bata. December is hot, so chocolate needs heat-protected packaging and fast transit, or non-chocolate items are the safer choice.
