Nigerians will now pay a mandatory customs duty of $80 (or its naira equivalent) on every package sent to the United States, the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) announced on Friday, August 29. Letters and documents, however, will be exempt from the charge.


The agency explained that the policy follows a U.S. Executive Order that suspends de minimis exemptions for all postal shipments worldwide. These exemptions previously allowed low-value packages to enter the U.S. without customs duties.
