WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT INFORMAL CROSS-BORDERTRADE (ICBT)

Informal cross-border trade(ICBT) is
defined as commercial activities where traders bypass formal procedures and thus are not
captured in official customs statistics. This encompasses various practices, including non declaration of goods, evasion of duties and levies, utilization of clandestine routes, and non adherence to regulatory import/export requirements (Desiderio, 2025)

At Solidarity Innovations we are positioned tp help MSMEs businesses formalize,and not only standalone formalisation,we also support businesses in their transition to the formal economy through facilitating access to AfCFTA Entrepreneurship & Capacity building,cutting-edge technology,Essential funding and market-access amongst others.

As Africa accelerates the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), legal professionals are being called to expand their influence beyond courtrooms and contracts into the economic corridors shaping the continent’s future.

The AfCFTA has ushered in a new era of opportunity—one that demands proactive legal expertise in trade facilitation, regulatory alignment, investment structuring, and SME empowerment.

Now as outlined at the recent African Union Private Sector Forum, the private sector does not only has critical role to play in unlocking the potential of Intra-Africa trade, and Investment as the cornerstone of future Intra-African Trade but must lead from the front in shaping an integrated, investor and export ready Africa.

Legal practitioners must now embrace a new frontier: providing technical and strategic advisory across value chains that anchor Africa’s industrial and trade transformation

In that regard, this op-ed explores 89 product value chains—spanning agriculture, pharmaceuticals, textiles, machinery, and digital services etc—where legal minds can offer crucial insights and market support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

From advocacy, trade promotion and facilitation to advising on standards compliance and investment protections, legal experts can become catalysts for inclusive prosperity.

Legal professionals, now is the time to seize the moment with bold, practical engagement in the business of trade and investment advisory support.

Nigeria is on the cusp of a transformative shift in its industrial and trade landscape with the introduction of the 30% Value Addition Bill.

As global competition intensifies and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) gains traction, this bold legislation seeks to reposition Nigeria from a raw commodity exporter to a value-driven, innovation-led economy.

By mandating that all raw materials undergo at least 30% local processing before export, the bill champions inclusive industrialization, SME empowerment, and trade diversification—critical levers for economic sovereignty and continental competitiveness.

This op-ed highlights the strategic importance of the bill, its potential economic impact, and the deliberate actions needed to ensure inclusive and effective implementation.
