The Nigeria Customs Service Board (NCSB) has approved a de minimis threshold value of $300 for low-value consignments imported via express shipments or passenger baggage.

This was announced on Sunday 7 September 2025 by the National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Maiwada.

According to him, the decision was taken at the NCSB’s 63rd regular meeting on 02 September 2025, chaired by Wale Edun, minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy.

He added that the decision takes effect on 8 September 2025 and aligns with global best practices that aim to simplify clearance processes for low-value consignments, enhance trade facilitation, and provide clarity for e-commerce stakeholders and travellers.

“Under the new regulation, goods valued at $300 or less will be exempted from import duties and taxes, provided they are not prohibited or restricted items.”

After the 3rd or 4th time, you will pay the necessary fees on anything you import into Nigeria.

The previously required taxes and customs duties on items below $300 have now been cancelled.

The threshold, which is restricted to four importations per annum, aligns with Section 5(c and d), Section 158 subsections (5 and 6), and other relevant provisions of the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023
