Which regulator governs your product

Whether a consignment clears or sits at the port usually comes down to one question: does this product need a NAFDAC permit, a SONCAP certificate from SON, or neither. Look it up by HS chapter or by product description.

The numbers behind the decision

Knowing the process is half of it. ONYX also tracks the operating environment you are entering — daily grid generation, official FX, state-level input prices and inflation, and sector output — each figure source-linked and dated.

Open the TerminalHow we source it

ONYX publishes what the responsible agencies publish, with a link to each source. Requirements, fees and timelines change, and an officer's reading of a rule can differ from the published text. Verify against the linked source before you commit money — this is reference information, not legal advice.
