Regulatory watch — April 2026

Nigeria cut passenger-vehicle import duty from 70% to 40%

Since 1 April 2026, fully built passenger cars, SUVs and station wagons imported into Nigeria face a total effective duty of 40%, down from 70%. This reshuffles the Cotonou ⇄ Lagos corridor: depending on your goods, clearing in Benin or in Nigeria no longer costs the same. We price both scenarios for you before you spend a single naira.

FAQ

Benin ⇄ Nigeria: your questions

Can you clear my cargo in Cotonou and deliver it to Lagos?
Yes. We handle full customs clearing at the Port of Cotonou, then road delivery through the Sèmè-Kraké border post to Lagos and its region, with trusted carriers and correspondents on both sides.
Do you have a warehouse in Lagos?
Yes. We operate our own warehouse in Alasia, Ojo (Lagos State), on the Lagos–Badagry Expressway corridor coming from the Sèmè-Kraké border. Goods cleared in Cotonou are received, stored securely and handed over to your consignee there. See the location on Google Maps.
Do you handle regulated goods to Nigeria?
Yes — we have hands-on experience with goods subject to permits and specific controls, such as refrigerant gas cylinders: documentary compliance, border controls and final delivery in Lagos.
Is it cheaper to clear in Cotonou or directly in Lagos?
It depends on the goods, their value and each country's tax treatment — especially since Nigeria cut the effective import duty on passenger vehicles from 70% to 40% in April 2026. We run a side-by-side cost study of both scenarios before you commit.
How long does Cotonou ⇄ Lagos transport take?
The Sèmè-Kraké border is about 40 km from the Port of Cotonou and Lagos about 120 km away: once customs formalities and permits are complete, road delivery is usually done within the day.
