Nigeria Customs and India Strengthen Bilateral Ties in Brussels

To Facilitate global trade and strengthen colaborations, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reaffirmed its commitment to deepening strategic cooperation with the Indian Customs Administration, as both sides advanced discussions on key customs issues on the margins of the 92nd Session of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) Policy Commission on 25 June 2025 in Brussels, Belgium.

Led by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, the Nigerian delegation met with Mr. Surjit Bhujbal, a senior member of India’s Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), to evaluate progress made under the Customs Mutual Administrative Agreement (CMAA) signed between both countries on 16 November 2024.

The Nigeria/India bilateral engagement focused on enhancing cooperation in customs valuation, transfer pricing, and ongoing conversations around the integration of customs and tax systems-key areas identified in the CMAA.

The meeting also addressed growing concerns over the international trade in substandard pharmaceutical products, with both countries acknowledging recent successful seizures in Nigeria as a direct result of improved intelligence sharing and operational synergy.

According to CGC Adewale Adeniyi, “Today’s dialogue is a continuation of the strong foundations laid during the signing of the CMAA in November 2024. We are intensifying efforts to tackle undervaluation, abusive transfer pricing, and to improve system integration between customs and tax authorities. Additionally, our joint actions in curbing the importation of substandard pharmaceuticals yield results and protect public health.”

The CGC further reiterated Nigeria’s interest in expanding cooperation through joint technical missions, training programmes, and shared data mechanisms, which would contribute to more efficient risk management, enhanced revenue assurance, and stronger trade controls.

“This partnership reflects our vision of a smarter, collaborative, and globally connected customs administration,” Adeniyi said.

The CMAA was signed during the Prime Minister of India’s state visit to Nigeria last year, a landmark moment that underscored both countries’ commitment to advancing trade, security, and institutional collaboration.

On his part, Mr Surjit Bhujbal said, “India regards Nigeria as a crucial partner in Africa. The CMAA has opened a structured channel for mutual assistance, information exchange, and capacity building. We are keen to deepen technical cooperation on valuation, combat revenue leakage through transfer pricing schemes, and share our experience integrating customs with tax systems.”

The WCO Policy Commission is a high-level platform where customs leaders worldwide deliberate on policy direction, global trade facilitation, and enforcement standards. Nigeria’s active participation highlights its dedication to international best practices and the modernisation of its customs systems.
