The Nigeria Customs Service has extended the deadline for importers participating in its fast‑track cargo clearance scheme to January, offering more time to regularise documentation and obligations. The initiative, which grants compliant traders accelerated clearance, is part of reforms to decongest ports and improve the ease of doing business.
Customs spokesperson Abdullahi Maiwada said the extension followed appeals from operators and aims to prevent disruptions to supply chains during the festive season. He added that only importers with strong compliance records will continue to benefit, reinforcing the link between regulatory discipline and trade facilitation.
