Nigeria Customs Import Duty On Imported Goods

Whether by a private individual or a commercial entity, import duty and taxes are owed while shipping goods toward Nigeria.
Importantly, the mode in which they value the imported goods is by CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight), which signifies that the import duty and taxes due are estimated at the entire shipping value.
This entire shipping value includes the value of the imported goods, the charge of freight, and the cost of insurance.
Besides duty, imports are subject to sales tax, and other taxes specified for certain products, such as excise duty, rice levy, automotive levy, sugar levy, and cigarette levy.

Duty Rates

In addition, duty rates in Nigeria vary from 0% to 35%, with the average duty rate at 16.96%. We can import some products free of duty (e.g. books).

Sales Tax

They levied VAT on imports at a standard rate of 7.5% on the sum of the CIF value, duty, excise, and other taxes if applicable.
Hence, there is no minimum threshold in Nigeria. Therefore, imports are subject to duty and taxes regardless of their value.

The cost of clearing cars in Nigeria has changed from 2018, 2019, 2020,2021, and 2022. The reason for this is the change in the exchange rate currently.
