The Nigerian Customs Service has introduced a new policy allowing duty-free temporary admission of personal vehicles brought into the country by international visitors.
Key Points:
- NCS announces duty waiver for personal vehicles temporarily imported by travelers
- Policy covers tourists, diplomats, business, and personal visitors for non-commercial use
- Travelers must present a valid passport, an international driver’s license, registration, insurance, and CPD
- A Temporary Vehicle Admission Permit valid for 90 days will be issued at entry points
- An extension of up to 30 days may be granted with approval from the Customs Area Controller
- Vehicles cannot be sold, leased, transferred, modified, or used commercially while in Nigeria
- The policy draws legal backing from the NCS Act 2023 and international conventions
