A friend of mine sent me a package using USPS (United States Postal services). And he sent me the tracking number.

The package arrived Nigeria with 5 days, the tracking status shows it is with the customs.

Custom processing
What's the content?

Contact USPS customers service. They know what to do in such situation, probably this is not their first.
Re: HELP: My Package Sent From USA Is Hanging At The Nigerian Customs by SkyFi: 1:28pm On Nov 23, 2022
Posting with USPS always passes the traditional nigerian postal service and you should go claim your goods at the post office location where the customs are. Sometimes they could charge you import duty based on some of the items identfied in the package.

It is for this reason I stopped buying and shipping stuff directly from anywhere to Nigeria. If it is not customs, it is the staff at NIPOST.
I just hope you're able to get you stuff, but in the future, kindly use freight forwarders. They might be a bit costlier than USPS, but you're sure to get your items intact.

Re: HELP: My Package Sent From USA Is Hanging At The Nigerian Customs by Msmither: 1:32pm On Nov 23, 2022
Be ready to pay some extravagant clearance tax.

They will milk you dry and even unbox your parcel.

They asked me to pay 120k tax for a 799usd item I bought.
I had to pay. Took some days for them to release it.
When I received the item, I realized the tab has been turned on, unbox and they didn't bother to pack it in the box.
They just dropped everything in the packaging and tape it badly.

I cried that day and cursed the day I was born into this unfortunate country.

What if I want to sell it? How do I convince people that the item is new never used?.

Does it mean the customs have seized it? Or what?

The Customs are waiting for you to come and see them and also for you to legally clear the package from their hand.
They will only seize it if they discover it contains an item banned by the Federal Government or illicit drug.
Hence hire a Custom license clearing agent if you cannot approach the Custom.

I think this all depends on who is handing it for you. There are smarter ways to boycott all those protocols and delays

You have to contact UPS.

It means you have customs duty to pay. The courier company will not contact you so you need to make contact.

No cause for alarms, everything is under control.

Custom are in charge of collecting import revenue.

So, any package that enter the country must also be scrutinized by custom so that you can pay custom charges so far your item is legal item.

But on a norm, the courier service you used suppose to have charged custom charge to your fees.

Don't worry, when custom are done checking and charging appropriate fees on your item, you will be notified. Just pray that it's either they release your item for free or you pay huge custom charges on your item.
Re: HELP: My Package Sent From USA Is Hanging At The Nigerian Customs by callthefred: 1:42pm On Nov 23, 2022
It's standard procedure. You may have to pay some import duty charges. Your friend probably made a mistake when declaring the value. If it's electronics or anything gadget you must pay import duty. Contact UPS, they will bring you a letter from customs to inform you.

Exactly my experience last month, when I was sent a parcel from the US with UPS expedited.
Took about 3weeks before getting here.

Then CUSTOM PROCESSING.

This is what you should do
Call their UPS Customer care, tell them your parcel is stuck at the custom.

They'll ask you for the tracking number, then tell you the custom duty charges on the parcel will be sent to your email when Nigerian customs communicates with them on the charges to be paid.

You'd need to beg their customer service agent to please help you fast track the process.

Exactly what I did...paid 63k duty fee before my parcel was sent down to Ibadan.
