How To Get An Export License In Nigeria From The NEPC

The export business remains the most profitable industry to venture into in Nigeria. With global surges in the international prices of commodities ranging from agricultural products to oil, and even solid minerals and metals, exporting any product within their categories could earn any exporter anywhere from 100% to 400% profit on a successful sale.

The best part of the export business is that most contracts are always signed for a year, and as such if you were making a 200% profit on the export of any commodity, you could almost be guaranteed of the same profit margin every month for one year.

While the global trade business may sound enticing for any individual to venture into, you cannot succeed unless some parameters have been covered, and that includes securing reliable miners, finding international buyers, and obtaining an export licence for your business.

These three are keys to your success, but this article focuses on showing you how to get an export licence in Nigeria for your export business through the Nigerian Export Promotion Council:

  5. Hi, enlightening article! Well done!

    Please I want to know if one export licence can cover various classifications or sectors of export or do I need different export licence for different categories of export i.e one export licence covering export of agro commodities, minerals & metals, and oil & gas produce etc??

    • Hi Frank,

      There’s just one export licence for non-oil exports.

      But depending on the specific commodity, you may need another export permit.

      Especially in the area of solid minerals.

      Thank you for asking.
