Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme
(NESS)
Â
The Federal Government of Nigeria has instituted the Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme to meticulously oversee the export process, ensuring that all goods leaving the country conform precisely to the buyer’s stipulations regarding price, quality, and quantity. This strategic initiative is designed to safeguard against capital flight, thereby preserving Nigeria’s economic resources, while simultaneously enhancing the global market competitiveness of Nigerian products, positioning them favorably against those of other exporting nations worldwide.
The Pre-shipment Inspection Act
The Pre-shipment Inspection Act was established in 1996. The Federal Government shall appoint Pre-shipment Inspection Agency (PIA) whose duty shall be to carry out physical inspection, check quality, and ensure fair pricing of goods.
Feltov Energy and Investment Limited delivers specialized Export Inspection Services (covering the oil sector) to the Federal Government of Nigeria. These services are based on the Nigerian Exports Proceeds Form (NXP Form) and the accompanying Request for Information Form (RFI Form), which collectively detail critical information about export shipments. We diligently verify and monitor the quantity, quality, and pricing of export commodities as stipulated in the NXP Form, ensuring full compliance with the provisions of the Pre-shipment Inspection Act.
Pursuant to the Pre-shipment Inspection Act, it is imperative to guarantee the export of high-quality Nigerian goods by mandating inspections for all products destined for export. Under this framework, every export-bound product must undergo pre-shipment inspection within Nigeria prior to international shipment. The primary objective of these inspections is to confirm that the quality of these products aligns with the grades and standards prevalent in the global market. This requirement led to the establishment of the Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme (NESS)
