Duties, taxes and the rules in Nigeria
The rules as published by the authorities, checked on November 4, 2026, and how they apply to a MYNSU parcel.
Import duty on silver jewellery: 20%, plus the levies
Nigeria applies the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (2022–2027 edition) to goods from outside West Africa. Silver jewellery is HS 7113.11, in the 20% band for finished consumer goods, and Nigeria's applied rate on that line is 20% of the customs value (the goods plus shipping and insurance to Nigeria). The assessment can also carry the para-tariffs the WTO recorded in its 2024 review of Nigeria: the ECOWAS community levy of 0.5% of the customs value on goods of non-ECOWAS origin, the 1% Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme (CISS) fee and a 7% Port Development Levy on the duty payable, plus a 0.5% National Import Supervision Scheme levy. A 4% levy on the free-on-board value under section 18(1)(a) of the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023 replaced the CISS fee from August 4, 2025 and was suspended on the Finance Ministry's directive, acknowledged by Customs on September 16, 2025, with no end date; until Customs announces otherwise we describe the older levies. Example: on a parcel assessed at USD 100 for goods and shipping, the duty is USD 20, the levies about USD 3, and VAT at 7.5% on the total of about USD 123 another USD 9, so about USD 32 is collected before delivery, plus the postal charge.
Sources: World Bank WITS (UNCTAD TRAINS): Nigeria applied MFN tariff on HS 711311, 2023 (20%); Landed Fees: ECOWAS Common External Tariff, the five duty bands (updated June 10, 2026); WTO Trade Policy Review of Nigeria, WT/TPR/S/462 (October 2024), paragraph 3.44 on para-tariffs; Federal Ministry of Information: Nigeria Customs Service acknowledges the Finance Ministry directive to suspend the 4% FOB charge (September 16, 2025).VAT is 7.5% and did not change on January 1, 2026
Value added tax in Nigeria is 7.5%. The Nigeria Tax Act, 2025 (Act No. 7 of 2025), which replaced the Value Added Tax Act from January 1, 2026, keeps the rate at 7.5% (section 147); the proposals to raise it to 10% and then 12.5% were dropped before the Act was passed. On an imported parcel the VAT is charged on the price of the goods plus the duties, levies and other charges due on importation and the transport and insurance to the point of entry (section 149), so it is 7.5% of the duty-paid value, not of the price alone. A parcel under the USD 300 exemption below is released without VAT as well as without duty.
Sources: Nigeria Tax Act, 2025 (Act No. 7 of 2025), sections 147 and 149, gazette copy; BDO: Nigeria, new legislation includes important changes to VAT rules (March 31, 2026); Forvis Mazars: VAT and the Nigeria 2025 tax reforms, the rate stays at 7.5%.Parcels of USD 300 or less: no duty or tax, four times a year
On September 2, 2025 the Nigeria Customs Service Board set Nigeria's de minimis threshold at USD 300: from September 8, 2025, low-value consignments, e-commerce shipments and passenger baggage with goods valued at USD 300 or less are released without import duties and taxes, provided the goods are not prohibited or restricted. The relief is limited to four importations per person per year, rests on sections 5(c), 5(d), 158(5) and 158(6) of the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023, and undervaluing a parcel to fit under it carries forfeiture and other penalties. The Board's notice names express shipments and e-commerce consignments; our parcels are assessed by the customs officers where the air line hands them to the local delivery network, so treat the exemption as what usually happens rather than a guarantee. A parcel above USD 300, or a fifth parcel in the year, is assessed on its full value at the rates above.

Nigeria bans the import of certain goods outright. The list revised with effect from April 1, 2026 (a Federal Ministry of Finance circular, part of the 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures that the Nigeria Customs Service began implementing on July 29, 2026) covers 17 categories of goods from countries outside ECOWAS: poultry, pork and beef, eggs, refined vegetable oils, sugar, cocoa products, tomato products, sweetened beverages, bagged cement, medicaments, waste pharmaceuticals, NPK fertilisers, soaps and detergents, corrugated paper and cartons, glass bottles above 150 ml, corrugated steel sheets, and ballpoint pens and their parts. Jewellery, articles of precious metal and chapter 71 of the tariff are not on it; the only silver item on the Customs Service's long-standing list of absolutely prohibited imports is silver or metal alloy coins that are not legal tender in Nigeria. Moissanite and sterling silver jewellery enters Nigeria freely, subject to the duty and VAT above.

Our tracked air line does not prepay Nigerian duties or taxes. On arrival the parcel is assessed by Nigeria Customs; where a charge is due, NIPOST or the courier collects it from the recipient before delivery, together with its own postal charges. Since October 2025 NIPOST has run an online customs duty payment portal built with Paystack, so the duty and postal charges on an incoming parcel can be paid online and the parcel delivered to the door instead of being collected at the counter. Orders placed on mynsujewelry.com: shipping is free on orders of $49.99 or more (under that, ,2.99), and any duty, VAT and charges in Nigeria are paid by you on delivery. Partner Portal orders: shipping and import charges are quoted by hand for each order before you pay, we do not prepay the Nigerian taxes, and your customer pays any duty, VAT and levies on delivery.

Sales to consumers in Nigeria are governed by the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act, 2018. A consumer may return goods and receive a full refund when the goods turn out, within a reasonable time after delivery, to be unsuitable for a particular purpose made known to the seller, or when goods the consumer could not examine before delivery are rejected within a reasonable time because they do not match the description, the sample or the quality contemplated in the sale (section 122). Every consumer has the right to goods that are of good quality, free of defects and usable and durable for a reasonable period (section 131), and within three months of delivery may return goods that fail that standard, at the seller's risk and expense, for repair, replacement or a refund (section 132). A term that waives the right to return defective goods is prohibited (section 129), as are unfair, unreasonable or unjust terms (section 127). These duties sit with you as the seller to your customer: orders at partner price are final sale for a change of mind, a piece that arrives faulty, wrong or damaged is replaced or credited when reported within the claim window with photos or a video, and the workmanship warranty on stock pieces covers a stone that comes loose or a piece that breaks under normal wear.

Questions Nigerian businesses ask us
Dropshipping, wholesale, private label and custom work, answered with the terms that apply today. Every partner has the same terms; they are written down here so there is nothing to negotiate and nothing to guess.
Do you accept dropshipping and wholesale partners from Nigeria, and can I start without a website?
Yes. The partner form asks for your name, email, brand and country; no company registration, website or store is needed, and selling through Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp works. You place each order through the Partner Portal cart with your customer's address, pay through the link we send, and we ship from Shenzhen with tracking. For photos on your page the usual rule applies: Before an Access Pass or a Connect Pass, our photos, including those on our public product pages, are not licensed for use in listings.
Can you deliver straight to my customers in Nigeria, and what delivery time should I show them?
Yes, to any state, tracked door to door from Shenzhen, usually 13 to 16 business days after dispatch. Show your customers our handling time before dispatch plus 13 to 16 business days of transit, and give us a street address with the state and a phone number the courier can reach. Tracking can be quiet for several days while the parcel is in the air and in customs; that is normal.
What does shipping to Nigeria cost on a partner order?
There is no automatic rate for Nigeria in the cart: shipping and the import charges are quoted by hand for each order. Place the order, or write to us with the pieces and the delivery address, and we reply with the shipping for that parcel, what your customer should expect to pay on delivery, and a payment link; nothing ships before payment. Nigerian duty, VAT and levies are not prepaid.
Who pays Nigerian customs duty and VAT on a dropship parcel, and how much is it?
Your customer, on delivery, when any is due; we do not prepay Nigerian taxes and no tax line appears at checkout. Under the USD 300 de minimis in force since September 8, 2025, a parcel with goods valued at USD 300 or less is released without duty or tax, up to four importations a year for the same person; above that, or beyond the four, Customs assesses 20% duty on the goods plus shipping, VAT at 7.5% on the duty-paid value and small levies, collected before delivery together with the postal charge. One customer order per parcel keeps most dropship parcels under the limit; the exemption is applied by the officer who assesses the parcel, so tell your customers that a charge is possible and that, if it comes, it is the government's charge and not a payment to us.
What happens if my customer does not pay the charge or does not collect the parcel?
NIPOST or the courier holds the parcel until the charge is paid and then delivers it; since October 2025 the duty and postal charges can be paid online through NIPOST's customs duty payment portal instead of at the counter. A parcel that comes back because nobody paid for it or accepted it is shipped again at your cost, so settle who pays any duty with your customer before you order.
Can you ship stock to me in Lagos or Abuja so I deliver to my customers myself and collect payment on delivery?
Yes. Choose Ship to: Me at checkout and the parcel comes to you with the same tracking and the same Nigerian import rules: nothing to pay on a parcel of USD 300 or less, up to four importations a year, and 20% duty plus 7.5% VAT and levies above that. How you deliver to your customers and whether you take payment on delivery is between you and them; every order to us is paid before it ships. Several pieces of one style in one order also bring the quantity discounts below.
How do I pay from Nigeria, and in what currency?
In U.S. dollars, by credit or debit card, Shop Pay or PayPal, through the payment link we send with the quote; your bank converts to naira at its own rate. For a larger order a bank wire is possible: ask before you pay. We do not take naira, payment on delivery or payment after shipping.
A customer of mine wants to return a piece under Nigerian consumer law. What happens?
That is between you and your customer. Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act gives consumers the right to return defective goods within three months of delivery for repair, replacement or a refund, and to return goods that do not match their description or sample within a reasonable time. Orders at partner price are final sale for a change of mind, so a returned piece stays in your stock to resell; a piece that arrives faulty, wrong or damaged is replaced or credited when you report it within the claim window with photos or a video, and a stone that comes loose or a piece that breaks under normal wear later is covered by the workmanship warranty on stock pieces.
Questions from Nigerian shoppers
For orders placed on mynsujewelry.com.
Is shipping free to Nigeria?
Yes, on orders of $49.99 or more (orders under $49.99 ship for $12.99). Standard shipping is then free, tracked door to door, and delivery usually takes 13 to 16 business days after dispatch.
Will I pay customs duty or VAT when my order arrives?
Only when it is due. Since September 8, 2025 Nigeria releases parcels with goods valued at USD 300 or less without duty or tax, up to four importations a year per person, so most orders arrive with nothing to pay. Above that, Customs charges 20% duty on the goods plus shipping, VAT at 7.5% on the duty-paid value and small levies, which NIPOST or the courier collects before delivery together with its postal charge. Our prices do not include Nigerian taxes.
Are prices in naira?
Prices are in U.S. dollars and are charged in dollars, by credit or debit card, Shop Pay or PayPal; your bank converts at its own rate.
My tracking says the parcel is with customs or at the post office. What do I do?
Customs clearance is part of the 13 to 16 business days. If a charge is due, NIPOST or the courier contacts you to pay it before delivery; since October 2025 the duty and postal charges can be paid online through NIPOST's customs duty payment portal, after which the parcel is delivered to your door. If the tracking stops moving, write to us with your order number and we follow it up with the carrier.
How do returns work from Nigeria?
You may return any unworn item in its original condition and packaging, within the return window in our refund policy, for a refund of the item price. You pay the return shipping to our receiving address in Shenzhen, given with the approved return, and any duty or VAT paid in Nigeria is not refunded. If a piece arrives damaged, defective or different from what you ordered, tell us within the claim window with a photo and we replace it or refund it in full.
