First of all, I want to make it clear that the 41 import items or goods are not banned or prohibited by Nigeria customs service and the Federal Government of Nigeria. It means that the importer will be not given assistance for sourcing for the Forex in the commercial bank because of the CBN policies. Let me explain in details. Let us say importer A wants to import any of the items from the items before he or she will proceed with issuing Form M. The total amount for shipping and cost of purchase must be in the corporate account. And the next process is to write the CBN through the commercial bank and CBN will give approval letter that the importer can go ahead with importation.

The bottom line is that the Forex (that is the foreign currencies) must be in the domiciliary accounts before the Central Bank of Nigeria can issue approval letter as well as approval of Form M issuance with Nigeria customs service. The mistake many importers make is that they place orders first from foreign merchants without having the knowledge of whether the items they want to import are banned by CBN. The implication of this is that any item that is not valid for forex will be approved by Customs with approval letter from CBN.

Now, let me give you the full list of the items that are not valid for forex in Nigeria since 2016.

List of 41 items banned by Central Bank of Nigeria for importation

Shipping of cars to Nigeria from different counties like USA, United Kingdom, Germany and others is common to Nigerians. Most imported cars are used cars that have been driven for like 1-5 years from the day of manufacture. This is due to high import duty of cars placed by Nigeria Customs services. Cars from USA, UK, and Germany are cheap. The prices are affordable.

Nigeria Customs service policy on imported cars to Nigeria

Nigeria customs service has restriction on the type of cars that can be imported in terms of years of manufacture. The cars must be more than 15 years from the day of manufacture. Let’s say the car is manufactured in 2000, you are expected to import such car in 2017. This regulation is for the safety of our road network. Imagine 15 years old machine, moving on Nigerian road, the imported car may break down or malfunction that can cause lose of precious lives.

Moreover, the deposit and retention charges by the shipping and terminal operators will not be included. The cost of transportation of the containers from the ports will not be additional cost.

Containerized shipping methods for cars importation to Nigeria

This method is only useful if you have other items that you want to add to the cars shipped by the importers. The shipping method is mostly used by merchants in order to maximize the cost of shipping other goods to Nigeria.

Form M - This is a document issue by CBN through commercial banks for import permit procedure. Which will states the product Harmonized Codes for customs import duty, the amount and other basic information. The importer or his agent can handle this.

Insurance Certificate - This is needed to cover any loss or damage during shipping of the goods to Nigeria. You can approach any reputable insurance company for issuance.

Agency Certificate - The type of certificate will depend goods are importing. For some manufactured goods; SONCAP will be issued by Standard Organization of Nigeria. For some Food items NAFDAC must issue import permit for goods.

Bill of Lading or AirWay Bill: This document is issued by shipping company that transport the goods from the ports of loading to Ports of Destination.
