The NXP form must be utilized within 6 months after its submission, subject to a renewal of 3 months by the dealing bank. Subsequent requests for renewals are to be approved by the director, Trade, and Exchange Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria, otherwise, it must be returned to the exporter’s bankers for cancellation.
After completing the NXP form, the Exporter is required to collect a REQUEST FOR INFORMATION FORM (RFI Form) from the inspection agent.
The RFI Form is designed to provide the PIA with general information to enable the inspection to be undertaken as efficiently as possible, such as where and when a particular consignment is due to be exported, contact details and shipping information etc. It will also enable the inspection company to coordinate with the exporter, a suitable time and place for the physical inspection. It is therefore essential that exporters provide all the required information in the RFI.
No. An NXP can be used only for one type of item. E.g, if you want to export Hibiscus, Hides & Skin and Ginger, you will be required to use NXP forms.
However, you can use the same NXP for different grades of the same item. See section 4 of the NXP form
