The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has asked the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) to adopt the same forex rate from the importation of goods to its clearance in the country.

The directive was contained in a circular on Friday by the apex bank’s Director of Trade and Exchange Department, Hassan Mahmud, saying the constant changes in customs duties rates have led to pricing irregularities, resulting in unpredictable increases in the final cost of goods in the market.

It instructed the NCS to adopt the FX closing rate on the date of Form M submission by importers for the clearance of goods and import duty assessment.

The directive is aimed at curbing the disruptions caused by frequent updates on the customs website regarding forex market liberalization.

“To this effect, the Central Bank of Nigeria wishes to advise the Nigeria Customs Service and other related parties to adopt the FX rate on the date of opening the Form M for importation of goods, as the FX rate to be used for import duty assessment. This rate remains valid until the date of termination of the importation and clearance of goods by the importers,” the circular read.

“This would enable the Nigeria Customs Service and the importers to effectively plan appropriately and reduce uncertainties around varying exchange rate in determining revenue, or cost structure respectively.

“Therefore, effective 26th February 2024, the closing rate on the date of opening of Form M for importation of goods and services would be the rate that would apply for assessment of goods and services. This supersedes the requirement of Memorandum 9, J (2) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Foreign Exchange Manual (Revised Edition) 2018.”

The Nigerian naira traded at relatively stable levels against the United States dollar on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, across both the official and parallel foreign exchange markets, as market participants continued to monitor liquidity conditions and foreign exchange demand.

Latest data from the Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) showed that the naira exchanged at approximately ₦1,366.41 per dollar at the official market. The NFEM rate, which is published by the Central Bank of Nigeria, represents the volume-weighted average exchange rate for the day.

The official exchange rate has remained within the ₦1,350-₦1,370 range in recent weeks, supported by improved liquidity and sustained foreign portfolio inflows into local assets.

In the parallel market, also known as the black market, the dollar traded at around ₦1,400 for buying and between ₦1,410 and ₦1,420 for selling, depending on location and dealer quotations.

The spread between the official and parallel market rates remained relatively narrow compared with previous years, reflecting ongoing reforms aimed at improving transparency and efficiency in Nigeria’s foreign exchange market.

Currency traders said demand for dollars from importers, travellers and businesses remained steady, although the naira has benefited from increased confidence in the foreign exchange market and improved dollar supply.

Analysts noted that exchange rates could continue to fluctuate in response to changes in foreign exchange inflows, global oil prices and domestic economic conditions.

As of the prevailing rates, $100 would exchange for about ₦136,641 at the official NFEM window, while the same amount could fetch between ₦141,000 and ₦142,000 in the parallel market.
