This presentation was produced by the Growth Gateway programme team in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group. It aims to support Nigerian exporters in leveraging the UK’s Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS).
The document introduces the DCTS and its benefits for Nigeria, including duty-free access for over 3,000 products and simplified rules of origin. It outlines the main UK regulatory requirements, provides guidance on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) compliance, and highlights priority export products such as cocoa, sesame, fertiliser, and cotton.
The document also maps UK-supported interventions to improve market access, reduce trade barriers, and build exporter capacity, while offering practical advice and resources to navigate post-Brexit UK import procedures.
