Harpesin:
@ Poster don't be surprise that Customs and NDLEA officials especially at our Airport/border are another set of people making things difficult for us in Nigeria, check it from this angle, how come we are still having contraband goods in the country? those pple are so corrupt, i had an encounter with them when I import little goods (BB) less than 10 pices from abroad, they called me that to come with all my payment docs and to come n xplain my source of income, on getting there, they did bother to check the docs they were only treting to take me to their office in which I let them know that am very much available, I quoted all customs tarrif on each good cos its my line and told them to take me to their controller if they are not satisfy with my xplanation at the end of the day one of them approached me to find them something in which I felt reluctant but the way he spoke, i just dash dem 2k n I got my goods out of there, Govt need to come to people's aid in this aspect.

Hi bro,I want to get a fone from my brother that resides in dubai and he has promise to send me one through dhl but due to what av bin reading here.am avin a mixed feeling. Can't dhl deliver the goods to me in my abode without getting to ndlea or custom officials?? Am just confused here..!

styles2009:
Its like a scissor, both blade would cut you.
Whatever is being, shipped or sent through a courier service, the government want to tax you on it, so why give customs or NDLEA bribe instead of the govt? Can you prove it , you bribed someone to get your stuff? If yes, show their faces and you'll see changes, if not keep quiet as you are one of those supporting the corrupt system in Nigeria.

Imagine, if nobody gave them bribes and insist on paying the duties? Their warehouse would be filled up and Cargo companies and their Bosses would have lot of work to do in solving the problem.

But Nigerians always want quick answers and dont want to ask for their right, so please stop complaining.

EMS is the best when it comes to receiving goods
from abroad from my own personal experience.
Others will always charge you exorbitant import duties

I don't think Nigerian custom have hand in the fraudulent act from DHL, FedEx and their co criminals activities going on Nigeria,

My items that's supposed to be delivered on 17th January 2020 on that same is when not on 16th that I was told it was sized by Nigerian customs,

I asked to provide my email address to send me details but the details have no Nigeria customs heading or any evidence relating to that,

I have fall a of this victim before and I rushed and paid N35,450 before it was released

This time, an item of $127, I was asked to pay 125k which I refused and from 17th till date, my items is still in their custody,

They told me if I failed to write a protest latter to them to submit to custom after 28th, that my item will be no longer be due for release from customs.

The custom duty for new items that cost above 50k is 16.3% of the total goods plus shipping cost,

Even if supposedly it's Nigerian customs, I believe I will not be told to address the protest latter to FedEx to be forwarded to Nigerian custom.

I need to know how many days items will stay in Nigeria customs custody if not complying with the estimated cost, it will be no longer released.

For the time being, my items are used n broken not new, and not up to 50k except if shipping includes them it will be 178 plus 127 around 100 to 115k at most 18k should be the duty charges.

For fact, I believe this criminals in the name of shipping agents are leveraging the fact that you folks are scared of Nigerian custom to perpetuate this fraudulent act.

3rd I jan 2020, I will be in Nigeria customs headquarters to confirm their claims,
If it's connected, it will prompt a legal actions but if it does, the right calculation of how much this duty cost is will be estimated and I will pay for it and get my order out.
