Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Postal Service has confirmed that the United States of America has imposed a N123,000 fee, the equivalent of $80, on shipments into the US from Nigeria and other countries.<\/p>\n

This was disclosed in a notice sent to the DAILY POST by NIPOST on Friday.<\/p>\n

This follows President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order directing the suspension of duty-free treatment for all countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).<\/p>\n

Consequently, all items, excluding letters and documents would be charged $80 by the US government, NIPOST stated.<\/p>\n

With the development, all U.S.-bound shipments from Nigeria will additionally undergo customs checks at the destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) wishes to inform our esteemed customers of a recent policy change by the Government of the United States of America, enacted through the Executive Order on \u201cSuspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries\u201d under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Executive Order applies to all postal operators and designated postal administrations worldwide, and the payment of the additional duty affects all global postal inflows into the United States, not just those from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith effect from 29th August 2025, and in compliance with the Executive Order:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll postal items to the United States, except for letters and documents, will now attract a prepaid customs duty of USD $80 (payable in its naira equivalent) at the point of acceptance in Nigeria,\u201d the notice by NIPOST stated.<\/p>\n

In the past week, Trump had increased tariffs on Nigeria and other countries; however, the Nigerian government had vowed retaliation.<\/p>\n
