The Federal Government has approved a new customs policy exempting imported goods valued at $300 or less from the payment of duties and related taxes.
The measure, which takes effect Monday, September 8, 2025, was endorsed during the 63rd regular meeting of the Nigeria Customs Service Board, chaired by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on September 2.
In a statement on Sunday, NCS National Public Relations Officer, Assistant Comptroller Abdullahi Maiwada, said the move establishes a De Minimis Threshold Value for low-value consignments imported through express shipments or passenger baggage.
The three hundred dollars duty-free limit applies to e-commerce consignments, passenger baggage, and other low-value imports, limited to four importations annually. Goods above the threshold or those on the prohibited list will continue to attract duties and levies.
