Niger - Customs RegulationsNiger - Customs Regulations
In practice, Niger Customs focuses on the mission of collecting duties and taxes. The absence of mechanisms for research, analysis, and dissemination of information, as well as the inadequacy of sanctions in the rare cases where evasion is detected, unquestionably promote fraud in commercial transactions. In addition, given the high customs duties and taxes and complex regulations that are not well understood by customs officers (such as the regulation on WAEMU preferential rules on origin), evasion may be very lucrative for unscrupulous businesses. This situation can be all the more damaging as it leads to unfair competition for law-abiding importers.
Customs duties, where applicable, are determined by the CIF (cost, insurance and freight charges) value for imports and the FOB (free on board) value for exports.
