Fellow Citizens,

I find myself in this bizarre Quandry and tips of advice will be appreciated, so here we go
I imported some instruments to Lagos in a standard container
I made the agent explain the process and cost and we settled on that
The container is due at the port in a few days the agent now called me sating the customs would like to see my business account (IE they are rejecting my RAR form)


Problem statement
I do have a legally registered trading name
but I do not have a business account.
The form M used to ship the goods was prepared in the name of the agent's own company
My fear is that if I cannot provide a business account in the next few days then the container may be held in demurrage
What are the demurrage charges for a 20 foot container in TINCAN

Thanks

If you do not want to be owning 1.25 mil in the next 9 days, you better get your company account.
It comes with TIN and that is what the customs want. To make sure you pay your taxes

Hi TPC, Can you help in the form of advice. I just found out from the agent today that I also need a TIN and the ship is due in a few days I . The stupid guy is just telling me about all this now. Are you serious is it that high 1.25 million in 9 days. Can I have you number, I need some hard facts pls.
