The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it generated N1.42 trillion in revenue between September and October 2026, following improved documentation, digital interventions and stakeholder collaboration.
The Service said it processed 9,195 Pre-Arrival Assessment Reports (PAARs) and 99,839 Single Goods Declarations (SGDs) within the two months.
In a statement on Monday, the Customs Public Relations Officer, Abdullahi Maiwada, attributed the performance to improved documentation, digital interventions and stakeholder collaboration.
Export growth
NCS said at the Lilypond Export Command, third-quarter 2026 export activities generated $752.85 million, representing a 22.14 per cent increase compared with $586.15 million recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.
The Command said it recorded major enforcement successes during the period, with seizures of prohibited and restricted items with a duty paid value exceeding N8.1 billion.
Fight against illicit financial flows
The Service highlighted its ongoing collaboration with the World Customs Organisation (WCO) to strengthen its capacity to combat trade-based money laundering and illicit financial activities.

As part of the effort, the Service said it introduced an electronic currency declaration platform to enhance transparency and monitoring of cross-border currency movements.
Wildlife protection
In a separate operation, the Service said it rescued six live pangolins in Ogun State and handed them over to the Green Fingers Wildlife Conservation Initiative for rehabilitation.
The Service said the rescue reinforced its commitment to wildlife and environmental protection, alongside its core mandate of revenue generation and trade facilitation.
