The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has retracted its earlier announcement regarding the implementation of a 4% Free on Board (FOB) import charge. The agency has called on stakeholders to update their declarations to facilitate the smooth clearance of goods.

In a statement issued by the National Public Relations Officer, Assistant Comptroller of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada, on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, the NCS explained that the decision was made to ensure operational clarity, maintain consistency, and avoid potential disruptions in the clearance process.

The statement urged all affected parties to promptly revise their entries using the designated customs processing platforms. "The NCS has implemented measures to ensure a seamless transition. Customs commands across the country have been instructed to provide necessary assistance and clarification to importers and agents who may require support during this period," the statement added.
