The Nigeria Customs Service has said all import declarations made during the initial implementation period have been cancelled following its earlier suspension of the 4 percent Free-on-Board charge on imports.
The National Public Relations Officer of the service, Abdullahi Maiwada, announced this in a statement on Monday.
According to him, the measure is necessary to ensure clarity, maintain consistency in customs operations, and prevent any disruptions in clearance processes.
He explained that the affected importers, customs agents, and stakeholders are required to recapture their declarations to proceed with the clearance of their goods.
“Sequel to the earlier press release announcing the suspension of the 4 percent Free-on-Board charge on imports, the Nigeria Customs Service wishes to inform stakeholders that all import declarations made during the initial implementation period have been cancelled,” Maiwada said.
Media Talk Africa recalls that on February 11, 2025, Nigeria Customs suspended FOB charges on imports amid uproar by stakeholders.
