Duties and tariffs
The World Bank records a trade-weighted applied tariff of 12.6% for 2022. That average is not the rate on a shipment. The rate you pay is the HS line in the national schedule. World Bank, tariff rate, applied, weighted mean, all products
The ECOWAS Common External Tariff has five duty bands: 0% for essential social goods, 5% for basic necessities, raw materials and capital goods, 10% for intermediate goods, 20% for finished consumer goods, and 35% for specific goods for economic development. The rate for a product is the band of its HS code, not a country average. ECOWAS Trade Information System, Common External Tariff
The lookup opens the customs schedules the desk already carries. It is not a ruling.
