Adopt Same FX Rate From Importation To Clearance, CBN Tells Customs

Published

on

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 continued to trade under pressure in the unofficial foreign exchange market on Sunday, with traders in Lagos reporting another round of fluctuations in the dollar–naira exchange rate.

According to information gathered from several Bureau De Change (BDC) operators, the U.S. dollar sold for ₦1468 while buying stood at ₦1460 at the parallel market. This rate reflects the pricing used by street currency dealers and is often influenced by daily demand, liquidity conditions, and prevailing economic sentiment.

Important CBN Position on Black Market Transactions

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has repeatedly emphasized that it does not recognize the black market as an official channel for forex trading. The apex bank maintains that all legitimate foreign exchange transactions should be conducted through commercial banks or other authorized financial institutions.
Despite this directive, many Nigerians still resort to the parallel market due to delays, documentation requirements, or limited access to forex through official channels.

FX traders often caution that actual rates may differ depending on location, volume of transaction, and individual dealers. Prices can change multiple times within a single day due to:

Shifts in dollar supply and demand
Market speculation
Economic indicators such as inflation and interest rates
Government or CBN policy actions

Dangote Refinery Reduces Petrol Price

Published

By

The petrol market recorded another change as the Dangote Refinery and a few other depot operators reduced their gantry price of Premium Motor Spirit to ₦840 per litre.

Naijapunchnews reports that new rate moved down from the previous ₦843, following a fall in the price of Brent crude, which averaged $62 per barrel over the weekend.

The drop in crude cost pushed refiners and other players in the downstream market to adjust their prices.

Market checks showed that the Dangote Refinery, AIPEC and NIPCO all moved their depot price to ₦840 per litre.

Other depots reviewed their rates differently, with Rainoil at ₦844, Sigmund at ₦858, Master Energy at ₦858 and Northwest at ₦850 per litre.

Operators linked the price change to the dip in global crude, which affects refining and distribution costs.

The date of the OPEC+ virtual meeting was November 30, 2025.

On the global front, eight OPEC+ countries, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman, held a virtual meeting to look into the global oil market and its direction.

They stood by the decision taken earlier on November 2, 2025, to keep production levels unchanged for January, February and March 2026 because of expected seasonal shifts.

The group also restated that the 1.65 million barrels per day held back from the market could return step by step, depending on how conditions play out.

They maintained that they still have full room to pause or reverse voluntary production changes, including the 2.2 million barrels per day cut first announced in 2023.
