Nigeria Customs Status & U.S. Trade Treatment
Tariff treatment, trade-agreement coverage, and live monthly U.S. import/export data for Nigeria.
As of April 2026, the United States imported $215.4M/month and exported $385.3M/month with Nigeria. This page covers Nigeria's customs status, applicable trade agreements, and the practical tariff treatment U.S. importers and exporters should expect.
Trade overview
Africa's largest economy by GDP, Nigeria is a major US import source primarily through crude petroleum and liquefied natural gas, sectors that have historically dominated the bilateral trade relationship. Beyond hydrocarbons, cocoa beans and processed food products represent meaningful secondary export streams. Trade professionals should note that Nigerian-origin goods in non-energy categories may face enhanced scrutiny around documentation integrity and valuation, given the complexity of the country's export licensing environment.
Practical tariff treatment
