Can you bring fresh fruit or produce to Nigeria?

• Fresh produce

  depends on specifics

  NAQS requires a Phytosanitary Certificate for plant and plant-product imports (Nigeria is a signatory to the International Plant Protection Convention). NAQS's FAQ discusses this in general commodity terms rather than a personal-baggage/traveler-specific exemption, so no traveler-specific allowance is published here. NAQS has separately named specific prohibited plant material (e.g. cassava stem and plant parts, to guard against Cassava Brown Streak Disease) — treat fresh produce, seeds, and plant material as requiring prior NAQS clearance.
