When your shipment arrives in Nigeria, you’ll be required to pay import duties. This is a legal requirement and applies to almost every commercial cargo entering the country.
Here’s what to expect:
🧮 VAT (Value Added Tax)
The standard VAT rate is 7.5% of your item’s CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value.
💸 Other Possible Charges:
-
CISS (Inspection Fee) – 1% of FOB
-
ETLS (ECOWAS Tax) – 0.5%
-
Surcharge – Based on product type
-
Handling fees at port
🧾 Example Calculation:
Let’s say your product + shipping + insurance (CIF) is $5,000:
-
7.5% VAT = $375
-
Plus: CISS, ETLS, and other charges = around $150–$250 (approx)
Note: Some items attract higher tariffs depending on category.
