The Nigeria Trade Hub is an interactive portal, designed to assist the importer or exporter, with obtaining correct and timely information. It also provides necessary information about all the Government Agencies required to liaise with to obtain the necessary import permits and certificates that are needed to import or export product into or out of Nigeria.

Based on the product and transaction type selected, the portal will provide details including the regulatory stakeholders of that particular product and transaction type, documents required, the cost of administering those documents, duties and tax payable, the number of processing days and any controls/restrictions that might apply.

In addition to this development, the Nigeria Customs Service recently released the New Import Guidelines, Procedures and Documentation Requirements, which now gives the Nigeria Customs Service the sole responsibility of Destination Inspection, which is inspecting goods at the port of entry into Nigeria. With this new process in place, importers or their agents will be able to start clearing their goods before they even arrive in Nigeria.
