Dear Sir,

This is to inform you of the arrival of your package on above air way bill number through FedEx Red Star Express. The package is held by the Nigerian customs pending the payment of duties and taxes.

Nigerian customs are unable to assess duty on the package due to the low value (375.00 USD) declared on it. , you are hereby required to provide the correct commercial invoice for duty assessment. In the event where we do not receive a revised commercial invoice from you within 24 hours, customs would refer the shipment to their valuation team for reappraisal. Duty would then be assessed on the reappraised value.

Kindly provide your Tax Identification Number for Customs duty assessment based on the new clearance procedure introduced by the Federal Government of Nigeria. For additional information you may logon to www.customs.gov.ng Please note that we will make use of our company’s TIN for your duty assessment if you do not have one or in the event that your TIN is not acceptable in customs platform.

We will keep you informed as soon as we receive the duty advice on the package from Customs.


Please endeavor to clear before 29th January, 2019 as failure to clear within clearance window may lead to confiscation of package by the Agency.
