This rate remains valid until the date of termination of the importation and clearance of goods by the importers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis would enable the Nigeria Customs Service and the importers to effectively plan appropriately and reduce uncertainties around varying exchange rates in determining revenue or cost structure, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, effective 26th February 2024, the closing rate on the date of opening of Form M for the importation of goods and services would be the rate that would apply for assessing goods and services. This supersedes the requirement of Memorandum 9, J (2) of the Central Bank of Nigeria Foreign Exchange Manual (Revised Edition) 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since January this year, the Central Bank of Nigeria has raised the exchange rate for cargo clearance at least six times.
