NCS revokes 4% FOB import declarations, calls for re-capture
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Customs Service declared on Monday, that it has cancelled all import declarations submitted under the 4% Free on Board fee during its initial implementation.
The agency has encouraged importers, customs agents, and other stakeholders to recapture their entries so that their goods can be cleared smoothly.
The National Public Relations Officer and Assistant Comptroller General of Customs, Abdullahi Maiwada, revealed the development in a press statement.
He stated, “Sequel to the earlier press release announcing the suspension of the 4% Free-on-Board (FOB) charge on imports, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) wishes to inform stakeholders that all import declarations made during the initial implementation period have been cancelled.
“This measure is necessary to ensure clarity, maintain consistency in customs operations, and prevent any disruptions in clearance processes. Affected importers, customs agents, and stakeholders are, therefore, required to recapture their declarations to proceed with the clearance of their goods.
“In addition, all stakeholders affected are urged to promptly recapture their entries through the designated customs processing platforms.”
Maiwada explained that the NCS has implemented measures to make the process seamless. He further noted that Customs Commands nationwide have been directed to provide necessary assistance and clarifications to importers and agents in need of support during this period.
The statement emphasized that canceling the previous declarations is part of the Service’s broader effort to ensure efficient, public-centric service delivery and to align with government fiscal policies under the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023.
Under the leadership of Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, the NCS remains committed to transparency and robust stakeholder engagement.
Traders are encouraged to recapture their entries promptly to avoid any further delays in the clearance of their consignments.
