r231: Latest News ... GREAT NEWS smiley!

I have received official notification that the Warehouse in LOS will be open for business as of tomorrow Sep 13th. Hope this information also helps you to advise your agents in LOS so that they can start the Customs process for shipments already at destination.

This means, we have the go ahead to move cargo as of this Saturday's flight.

As mentioned, on Saturday I will only move shipments that are already on hand. Please send me your requests for next week and I will confirm accordingly.

I want to thank you again for being so patient smiley! Thank you all!

God bless you sir for this kind update,im sure you are among the best shippers in Lagos! You made my day!!

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Thursday reopened cargo warehouses belonging to the Skyway Aviation Handling Company Limited (SAHCOL) and the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) Plc.

The warehouses were shut nine days ago to enable them put in place facilities for Customs officials to inspect goods and cargoes imported into the country.

The NCS spokesperson at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, Mrs Thelmas Williams, made the confirmation in a message sent to aviation correspondents.

Also, the spokesman of SAHCOL, Mr. Basil Agboarumi, and the Head, Corporate Communications, NAHCO, Mr. Sanya Onayoade, confirmed the development in another message.

“This is to confirm that the SAHCOL warehouse is now opened.
“All differences has been reconciled, and business has resumed at the import section of the warehouse.

“The outcome of this will lead to better services to all importers and exporters using the SAHCOL gateway,” Agboarumi said.

He added that the management of SAHCOL appreciated the understanding of their customers during the closure.

Onayoade said that his company, together with the Customs Area Command, had agreed on the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to guide the operation of all stakeholders in the cargo business.

THISDAY gathered that the reopening was a relief as the airport had become congested with uncleared imported cargoes due to the closure.

boyestic: Nigeria is backward,i have my nephew and niece school stuffs in the cargo,they are resuming on the 16th and no hope of getting the goods,mine is better I know of someone that has bill of lading in his cargo,the car is at the port and demurrage has started counting and the worse part of it is that the figth has nothing to do with how to move nacho and Nigerian customs forward,its simply because they want more bribe.



Its terrible! My daughter had to start school this week without her stuff sent to her from the u.s i felt very bad!
Re: Customs Shutdown NAHCO And SAHCOL Warehouses, any One Knows Anything Pls Share by bizzle2: 9:55am On Sep 14, 2013
r231 was right, the warehouses were definitely re-opened on thur. any bdy telling u otherwise is either unaware of this development or simply lieing to ya.

I think you are right. PSI tracking links are not working since morning. Maybe they took down the site to avoid explaining this to clients.

Was also informed by my shipping agent that theyve started clearing goods today. just wonder when will my items be sorted out...Pschew ..Nigeria we hail thee ***(shakes head and walks away)
Re: Customs Shutdown NAHCO And SAHCOL Warehouses, any One Knows Anything Pls Share by green10119(m): 9:09pm On Sep 17, 2013
I think NAHCO is still not open for business, below is a message i got from my shipping company in USA.


Hi,

Your package has not been shipped it is still here in the U.S. It will not be shipped until the matter is cleared in Lagos. They where suppose to start working today. But NAHCO wants to charge demurrage for the cargo that has been accumulating at the Lagos airport since the work stoppage and the union disagreed. Therefore there is a meeting for this issue and the work stoppage is still ongoing.

Regards

Any new update yet? Pls valid info is desperately needed here...thanx.
Re: Customs Shutdown NAHCO And SAHCOL Warehouses, any One Knows Anything Pls Share by bizzle2: 5:32pm On Sep 23, 2013
wch other info u want again, the warehouses have been re-opened and clearing has since commenced
Re: Customs Shutdown NAHCO And SAHCOL Warehouses, any One Knows Anything Pls Share by naijacutee(f): 8:23pm On Sep 23, 2013
Even though work has commenced, clearing agents and delivery agents have a HUGE backlog to clear because of the amount of time the warehouses were shut for. Initially, the warehouses were open, but clearing agents refused to resume work because they were being charges demurrage by NAHCO for the amount of time the goods were kept in the warehouses.

So clearing is taking a long time because cargo flights have been arriving during the 'strike' and the warehouses have been full to capacity, so this mess is being sorted as well...
Re: Customs Shutdown NAHCO And SAHCOL Warehouses, any One Knows Anything Pls Share by yommywindy: 12:44pm On Oct 08, 2013
What's the latest updates on this issue now? Are the warehouses open now? A logistics Agent in Nigeria is telling me the 'air cargo port' has been shutdown yesterday. Is there any difference between that and the warehouse? Please I need urgent info by anyone who is well informed.
