The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced the implementation of the 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures and Tariff Amendments approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s fiscal and trade policy framework, boosting economic competitiveness, and enhancing revenue generation.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Public Relations Officer, Deputy Comptroller of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada, the Service said the new measures introduce comprehensive amendments to the Customs and Excise Tariff framework to support domestic industrial development, facilitate legitimate trade, and improve the administration of fiscal and tariff policies.

According to the statement, the amendments include the revised Import Adjustment Tax (IAT) List for the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (2022–2027), the revised National List, the revised Import Prohibition List (Trade), the revised list of goods liable to excise duty, a Green Tax surcharge on motor vehicles with engine capacities of 2,000cc and above, as well as the revised Export Prohibition List.

The Customs Service urged importers, exporters, manufacturers, licensed customs agents, and other stakeholders to familiarise themselves with the amended tariff schedules and ensure full compliance with all applicable fiscal and regulatory requirements.

To promote transparency and facilitate seamless implementation, the NCS said the complete 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures and Tariff Amendments have been published on its official website for public access.

The Service reaffirmed its commitment to supporting government policies through efficient trade facilitation, revenue collection, and border security, while calling on stakeholders across the trade sector to cooperate in ensuring the successful implementation of the new fiscal measures.
