Are You Importing Goods From Outside Nigeria? Read This First ! by austinobee: 9:52am On Jul 23, 2008 |
Be warned about using the wrong people to clear your goods. There are facts you need to know about importation. Read this: Between Nigeria’s independence in 1960 and the late 1970s, goods being imported into Nigeria or exported from the country were subjected to legal compliance inspections at the nation’s Seaports or airports through which the goods were imported or exported. The 1970s oil boom accelerated the pace of development of the Nigerian economy, resulting in a sustained increase in imports, but without a corresponding rise in exports (except crude oil). The fact of an import-driven economy made it essential to monitor the quantity and quality of goods being imported into the country. The Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) and other Government agencies involved in the importation/exportation process lacked the resources and technical knowledge to accurately perform this function. In order to block this loophole and increase revenue generated from importation transactions Government decided to appoint external inspection agencies (such as Bureau Veritas, SGS and Cotecna) who were perceived as capable of handling this function. The inspection agents were appointed agents of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and contracted to inspect shipments to Nigeria from various parts of the World. The agents’ findings on importation transactions, including quantity/quality assessments, pro-forma invoice costing/valuation and import duty/port charges assessments were regularly reported to the CBN and the Nigerian Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MoF). Official documents issued by these agents such as “Clean Report of Findings (CRF)” and Import Duty Reports (IDR), together with certain other shipment documents, such as Bills of Lading, soon acquired household usage, as they were absolutely essential to the importation of any goods into the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In order to preclude a monopoly situation in which Government could be held to ransom by a single agent, a number of inspection agents were appointed to monitor imports from different continents or areas of the World, e.g. North America, South America, Europe, Asia, etc. We are licenced customs agents and we can do you clearing for you legally and at the fastest possible time frame. Just tell us what you need and we will do it for you. To get the best prices for clearing your goods at the Nigerian Ports, you can call me on 07028833735 or 08065077654 |
