FG to integrate import duty exemption certificate to National Single Window platform
…as phase 2 begins The Federal Government has announced plans to integrate the application and processing of the Import Duty
The Nigerian government has reported a 20-30% increase in the issuance of export and import trade licences and permits since implementing the Single Window platform. Tola Fakolade, Project Coordinator and Director of the National Single Window, explained that the project's success lies in harmonizing processes among government agencies, thus eliminating inefficiencies and compliance issues.
The National Single Window has successfully blocked loopholes and improved permit issuance compliance, leading to a significant uptick in licenses and permits. The Federal Government is aiming to bring the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency and the Nigerian Ports Authority onto the Single Window platform to further streamline trade facilitation.
Additionally, the government is working on rationalizing Harmonised System codes to eliminate overlaps among agencies and optimize the system.
