The simple regression analysis results revealed showed that custom and excise duties have a significant effect on gross domestic product, that Custom and excise duties have a significant effect on capital expenditure and Custom and excise ditties have a no significant effect on recurrent expenditure. It was recommended that customs and excise duties leak away at the borders, wharfs, airports and seaports through the activities of customs official and other security agents at such places.
