EXPORTER AND IMPORTER GUIDELINES

NIGERIA EXPORTER AND IMPORTER GUIDELINES

INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW SONCAP PROGRAMME

The Nigerian Standards Organisation of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is responsible for the preparation, adoption and application of Standards for both imported and domestically manufactured products. Early January 2013, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) has officially released a new SONCAP regime with a completely revised conformity assessment structure. The programme is a set of conformity assessment and verification procedures applicable to all products imported into Nigeria except those under the exemption list. The implementation date for the new structure was 1

st March 2013.

Consignments of regulated products have to be verified for compliance to relevant NIS (Nigerian Industrial Standards) sanctioned/other approved standards and essential requirements. The compliance verification process will involve physical inspection of the consignment and if necessary, sample selection for testing purposes based on the applicable route selected for certification. The document to be issued under the new structure is called as “SONCAP Certificate (SC)”. The SONCAP Certificate is mandatory for Customs clearance of SONCAP regulated goods under the import requirements of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

NIGERIA SONCAP PROGRAMME

The scheme is designed to protect Nigerian consumers from unsafe and substandard finished products most of which are imported and consumed directly by them. The objectives of the programme include but are not limited to the following:

Ensure that regulated products comply with the NIS or approved standards prior to export to Nigeria Provide a level playing field in terms of quality for both regulated and locally manufactured products in order to

prevent unfair competition Prevent the dumping of substandard goods into the Nigeria market and as a result preventing economic loss to

the Importer and the nation at large Impede loss of lives and property including foreign exchange bearing in mind that the exporting country/Exporter

have been paid for the goods shipped into Nigeria Forestall any adverse reaction (such as environmental pollution occasioned by destruction of substandard

products) by Regulatory Agencies on arrival of such goods in Nigeria Facilitate trade through fast track clearance of goods at the ports Encourage genuine investors and investments in Nigeria Promote certified made in Nigeria products Conserve foreign exchange

There are three essential features to the new SONCAP regime:

Scope of Goods or Products subject to SONCAP

The current regulated list includes all imported goods to be regulated by SONCAP except for the following: Food products Drugs (Medicines) Medicals other than equipment and machines Chemicals used as raw material by bonafide manufacturers Military wares & equipment




ISSUED: 22-Jan-15




Goods classified as contraband by the Federal Government of Nigeria Used products other than automobiles

Bonafide manufacturers who intend to import machinery or related spare parts for their manufacturing are advised to apply to SON for SONCAP Import Permit to enable them to import these items.

Conformity to Standards and/or technical regulations

The primary objective of SONCAP is to ensure the quality of products, health and safety, and environmental protection for Nigerians.

Routes for Determining Conformity of products

Each shipment of goods or products subject to SONCAP must be accompanied by a SONCAP Certificate (SC). The methods employed for achieving these requirements vary according to the nature of product, the risk profile of the manufacturer and the level of conformity met by existing certifications.

SON has determined three routes that maybe applied as appropriate for the conformity assessment procedures for products subject to SONCAP certification, according to the type, risk and effect on the health and safety, and environmental protection.

ROUTES FOR SHIPMENT CERTIFICATION

The SONCAP procedure includes provision of three routes of shipment certification subject to the frequency of shipment and the type of Exporter. For example, occasional Exporters can choose Route A for the certification of their shipments. Exporters who are also the manufacturers of the products being exported can choose Route A, B or C subject to the frequency of their shipments. The SONCAP structure includes 3 distinct shipment certification routes;

Route A – For Unregistered/Unlicensed products Route B – For Registered Products Route C – For Licensed Products Below is a summarized representation of the new structure;
