How to Check if a Product is SON Regulated

The Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) regulates the importation of certain products into Nigeria. This guide shows how you can check if your product is SON regulated.

Importing products into Nigeria can be lucrative for your business. However, before you launch your import business, there are a few things you need to know. For instance, to import any product into Nigeria you need an Import Declaration Form (Form M). This requirement applies to both Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON) regulated and unregulated products.

Fortunately, you can easily obtain a Form M at any approved Nigerian Bank. All you will need are regulatory documents such as a SON Product Certificate.

As such, to obtain a Form M and start exporting to Nigeria, you need to verify if your product is SON regulated. To help you check your product’s SON status, we created this simple guide.
