Import and export between Nigeria and China are governed by national customs regulations, bilateral trade agreements, and periodic policy updates. Understanding tariffs and customs duty is essential to protect your profit margin.
Tariffs & Customs Duty
As may be applicable in your country, duties are levied on the CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value of imported goods. Nigeria applies the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (CET) with bands ranging from 0% to 35% depending on product classification under the Harmonized System (HS) codes.
Periodic Government Policies
- Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) foreign exchange and Form M requirements for imports
- Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) clearance procedures and documentation
- SONCAP and NAFDAC certifications for regulated products
- Export incentives and restrictions on specific commodity classes
