The Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) has announced the withdrawal of the 4 per cent Free on Board (FOB) import charges initially imposed on goods.
In a statement issued on Monday by the spokesperson of the NCS, Abdullahi Maiwada, the service said the move is aimed at ensuring clarity and maintain consistency within operations of the service.
Maiwada stated that the decision is also aimed at preventing any kind of disruptions in the process of clearance of goods.
He also urged stakeholders to ensure they recapture their declarations to proceed with the clearance of their goods.
He said, “In addition, all stakeholders affected are urged to promptly recapture their entries through the designated customs processing platforms.
“The NCS has put measures in place to ensure this process is seamless. Customs commands nationwide have been directed to provide the necessary assistance and clarifications to importers and agents requiring support during this period,” Maiwada said.
