Why IMPEX ID Matters

IMPEX ID serves as a verifiable identity framework for exporters and importers, enhancing credibility, reducing fraud, and streamlining trade operations across government and financial institutions.

About the Initiative

Strengthening Nigeria’s trade integrity through digital innovation and collaborative governance.

The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA) stands as the voice of organized private enterprise in Nigeria, representing over 100 City, State, and Bilateral Chambers of Commerce nationwide.

As the competent authority to issue Certificates of Origin for all exports, NACCIMA manages the national exporter registry. To reinforce trade security and streamline operations, NACCIMA, in partnership with technology experts, has developed the IMPEX Identifier System — a digital infrastructure ensuring verifiable identities for traders across the country.

NACCIMA’s influence extends through active participation in national policy councils, bilateral trade committees, and strategic partnerships that promote industrial growth and fair trade practices.
