Vehicle Import Levy Reduction Takes Effect As New Fiscal Measures Commence

The Federal Government’s revised import levy on new and used vehicles has taken effect as part of the 2026 Fiscal Policy Measures aimed at reducing the cost of vehicle importation and supporting economic activity.

Under the new regime, the import levy on new vehicles has been reduced from 20 per cent to 10 per cent, while the levy on used vehicles has been cut from 15 per cent to five per cent.

The changes form part of a broader revision of Nigeria’s import tariff structure.

The policy is intended to lower the cost of importing vehicles, ease the financial burden on importers and, potentially, improve access to vehicles for consumers.

Make we watch Customs first. They can announce 5% on paper, but by the time you reach Apapa port, one officer will use his personal exchange rate and “valuation format” to double the money for you. I don’t trust them yet.

Finally, a fiscal policy that actually makes sense for the average citizen! We’ve been complaining about sapa since January, at least make we breathe small for July.

Berger car dealers are already typing their defense script: “Bro, this Camry Spider was imported in May when duty was high, so I cannot reduce the price.” Rocket up, feather down as usual.
