sheffyUTD: Wish those over two thousand messages will just turn into cash asap, they're just messages from some motor dealers and church groups I belong to and other people just asking questions and dem no go give you job You got it right Agent A charged N2.5m while Agent B charged N1.8m. So she decided to give the papers to Agent B not knowing she was jumping into fire. Now agent B is demanding for 700k,since there's now an alert on the job and a D. N has been raised for it but she now wants Agent A (the guy wey she no give job) to go after Agent B to clear the wahala but agent A politely refused. She had no choice but to call me as another backup but I also declined asap, i've told her to pay the D. N and see it has one spanner lost. I was just saying something about this yesterday. 1 Like |

saintjoel: 1) So the chosen agent short quoted the job to get a customer. Okay, the system is to be blamed not the client that opted for the lower price. Shopping for a low price shouldn't be seen as a dirty habit. If the system works well the price can be easily attained, I mean the actual custom fees which should be the same across the board. Agents can charge whatever service/concierge price they choose based on their level of service, experience, etc So there are two fees, custom duties and agent service/concierge fees, I think you folks ought to separate those. WHen you do then clients can see which agents is being underhanded. 2) This is the point that is important to me, why are you guys not willing to help? Is it because it will tarnish your image or that you're penalizing the person? I would hope that UCH will see someone even if they have went to LUTH first. Read this as intent to learn and educate myself and not a personal attack. 3 Likes |

EgunMogaji: Let me just tell you the truth, it was intentional and it's also because we don't want the other agent to see us as "spoil sports",my child is still a baby and I want her to grow up knowing her Dad. At least she knew about us before giving another agent the work,let her bear the consequences,awoof dey run belle. I've had occasions where people will want me to be involved in whatever other agents have done or are about to do but I'll calmly tell them to let the agent do it without involving myself. The agent in question must be evil and I'll not want to cross his path, for you to have charged N1.8m and you later collected 200k again, which would have done the job if he declared a reasonable year but failed to do so because he wanted to corner most of the money , you won't want to cross path with such person by forming "ITK",he's a sadist... 2 Likes |

saintjoel: It is part of transactional arrangement to bargain in order to arrive at a reduced possible cost for either a product or service rendered. Logically, it is intuitive to align with the agent whose price is slightly below the second agent since both are qualified for the job. I do not understand why other agents are unwilling to assist her in this regard. Also, there should be a disciplinary body within ANLCA to swiftly handle such matters & sanction the erring agent. I expect that this woman should be referred to such a committee to seek redress. It's also safe to assume that the so called agent A deliberately & willfully underpaid in order to make more profit. The Debit Note that has so far been issued to the tune of 750k is another opportunity to further milk the woman as the agent will connive with corrupt NCS officials to pay an insignificant amount from the 750k & share the remaining part. If ANLCA is transparent and cares about importers, this is the kind of case they should be interested in so as to flush out unscrupulous agents who give them a bad name. Having said the above, you (agents) can make concerted effort to solve the problem. 1 Like |

I hope for a day that I can go to a NCS website and put in the VIN of a car and get the EXACT duties due. I can then print that out and shop for agents. Not just based on price but also on business acumen, feedback, experience, etc Maybe my grand children can enjoy such. 3 Likes

can the system get to the point where all the cost involved in clearing is stated out as well as agent fee. I believe there are no two customs in nigeria hence the duty should be same across board while the agent fee is permitted to vary wrt service I saw previous post where some ask for price to clear a vehicle and diverse prices were quoted hence how do you know who is genuine 2 Likes |

depair: I read that too. Same car, same year but two different quotes from two different agents. If the quote was broken down into two like: Agent A: Custom Duty: 750,000 Agent Fee: 250,000 Total 1,000,000 Agent B: Custom Duty: 750,000 Agent Fee: 350,000 Total 1,100,000 Then this is clear that agent B is asking for N100,000 more then I would ask myself what am I getting for the N100,000? If there is a value then I would gladly pay it. May agent B says he will clear the car and store it for me at his house until I arrive in country, maybe he will arrange licensing the vehicle for extra cost, maybe he will arrange for the car to be transported to Sambisa Forest, etc 3 Likes 3 Shares |

dokiOloye: People are tired of fraudulent activities if the so called clearing agents. I agree with OP, Tin Can is not the place you want to be if you are looking for transparency and straightforwardness. When 99% are corrupt it is hard or almost impossible to trust the remaining 1%. Here i am going to give you clues how to spot a straightforward and genuine agent. 1. He must provide you with FORM which you will fill out before you start any deal with him. 2. His residential address must be verified by you because many if them dont have office. 3. Never pay by cash. Every payment must be into his bank account. Any nonsense ir story, use police or EFCC to arrest and prosicute him for fraud It pains me how these bad ones are spoiling our name and they have succeded in building distrust in the job. However we Nigerians have to change this our culture of "my friend or my brother or somebody introduced him/her to me". Use your own senses. Though you have not met me before and no one is introducing me to you but try me and share your experience here. I am a clearing agent with integrity and moral principles. I believe that people deserve to be told the whole truth so that they can make a choice that suits them best. Call me and i will give you quote (accurate) for any car you want to clear. I will take you to my house where i live in lagos. You will fill a form and we sign agreement before we start. And you pay into my bank to avoid any kind of nonsense. 09098522067 or chrsjid2000@gmail.com. You will never regret working with me. 2 Likes |

EgunMogaji: This government talks about raising foreign exchange. In one swoop pay duty online in the country of purchase and export in €€ ££ $$. That will end 50 years of institutionalised corruption and Egunje. Imagine the foreign currency that will generate for Nigeria. But wait a minute are we ready for truth, honesty and unquestionable probity. I am not convinced 1 Like |
