Nigeria is our top-priority export market: LHD-only vehicle policy aligns directly with our stock. The landed-cost stack is roughly 35% import duty plus a 5% NAC levy on CIF value, then 7.5% VAT — and the July 2026 NAC Levy cut (15%→5%) sharply reduced that versus prior years.

Vehicles must not exceed 12 years of age at the time of import. RHD vehicles are not permitted without special dispensation.
