It depends which of the five ECOWAS Common External Tariff bands your goods fall into — 0% for essential/capital goods up to 35% for restricted/priority-sector goods — applied to your CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) value, plus a 4% FCS levy on FOB, a 7% surcharge on the duty amount, a 0.5% ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme levy on CIF, and 7.5% import VAT on the cumulative total. Confirm your own HS code and final duty with a licensed customs agent — this is a general-goods estimate, and vehicle imports or NAFDAC/SON-clearance items carry additional fees not included.
Most of these levies are based on your CIF value — duty, the 0.5% ETLS levy, and the 7.5% import VAT (applied to the cumulative CIF-plus-levies total, not CIF alone). The 4% FCS levy is the exception — it's based on FOB value only, and the 7% surcharge is based on the computed duty amount, not CIF.

|---|---|
| Essential/capital goods (e.g. vaccines, fertiliser) | 0% |

| Finished consumer goods (e.g. printers, milk, cigarettes, beer, used petrol vehicles, paints) | 20% |
| Restricted/priority-sector goods (e.g. sweet biscuits, sugar confectionery) | 35% |
