The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reported processing 9,195 Pre-Arrival Assessment Reports (PAARs) and 99,839 Single Goods Declarations (SGDs) between September and October 2026.

The Service collected ₦1.421 trillion in revenue over the two months, made up of ₦697.84 billion in September and ₦722.91 billion in October. The NCS credited the performance to efficient documentation, digital measures, and collaboration with trade stakeholders.

At the Lilypond Export Command, third-quarter 2026 export activity rose by about 22.14% compared with the same period in 2025, supporting growth in non-oil exports.

Enforcement operations led to the seizure of prohibited and restricted items, including illicit drugs, pharmaceuticals, prohibited goods, and petroleum products. The combined Duty Paid Value of the seizures exceeded ₦8.1 billion, with relevant agencies involved in handling the items.

To strengthen its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing work, the NCS hosted a four-week World Customs Organisation mentoring mission from 18 October to 13 November, engaging six agencies including the EFCC, NFIU, and NCTC. The Service also highlighted the introduction of an electronic currency declaration platform to improve transparency and detect illicit financial flows.

Separately, six live pangolins rescued in Ogun State were handed over to the Green Fingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative for care and rehabilitation, in line with Nigeria’s CITES obligations.
