Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has launched a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), aimed at regulating courier companies operating under the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Incoterm.
Comptroller General of the Service, Bashir Adeniyi, said the initiative was designed to establish a unified framework for various operational aspects, including registration, manifest submission, declaration, valuation, clearance, delivery, and compliance monitoring, aligning with global best practices.
According to a statement signed by the National spokesman of the agency, Abdullahi Maiwada, the DDP initiative is grounded in international legal standards and in line with global best practices.
Adeniyi said: “This procedure draws its legal foundation from the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Incoterms 2020, the Nigeria Customs Service Act 2023, the WCO (World Customs Organisation), SAFE Framework of Standards, and other relevant agreements.
