The blame rests solely on the lawmakers who should have reviewed this old law. Also, 30% is still too much for custom duty on luggage. 3 Likes |

djdutch: This Ali is very cheap. Why is the duty not #570,000.00 ? After all, that will help in protecting the so called local industry as claimed by Buhari and his friends. With this in place only Buhari and his friends are the only ones who can afford anything foreign. 6 Likes 1 Share |

The law fixes the duty at 30%. It remains so until it is amended. Have you not heard the custom boss complaining about the unproductive law? Tell the member and senator representing your constituency to sponsor the bill for amendment. franchasng: 2 Likes |

So anything worth over $138 dollars in the airport will be charged for not even up to $150 dollars Nigeria is truly the poverty capital of the world there is nothing worse than a leader who doesn't know what he is doing.This country is gradually being turned to a sh*t hole by our clueless leaders 10 Likes 2 Shares |

In most western countries, you have very good luggage allowance for their citizens. I'm sure of one country that allows $800 worth of goods duty free. White man is still supreme until we collectively prove otherwise by forming a sane society. 6 Likes |

Nigerians, let's stop this blame game. This law has been in existence for decades it just came into use when someone is doing oversabi and the other one wants to get quick cash off the situation. What we should have talked about is how to raise the amount to a substantial amount. Most Nigerian laws on fees don't grow as inflation rate grows. 4 Likes |

This is what you get when your government is being run by greedy, selfish baboons without a basic understanding of economics. The lawmakers are VIPs (very important parasites) who will continue to exist above above this particular law because the custom inspection is discretionary and dirty custom officials dare not dip their filthy paws inside a VIP luggage. This APC government is trying to balance their budget using increased taxes and duties leveraged on a population where 50℅ of the working population is either under-employed or totally unemployed. What did anyone expect from a man with no secondary school certificate (who is now probably senile) surrounded and constantly manipulated by jobbers and straight-up rogues. 6 Likes 1 Share |

qwertygeni:I agree with you. Ppl that are shouting haven't travelled abroad. Most European airports ask you to declare the cash equivalent of goods over a certain amount. Failure to do so means you are smuggling into the country. The lady who claimed she bought it from a duty free shop knew what she was doing. If she didn't buy from the duty free shop, she would have paid tax in her departure country. 1 Like |

Why would someone spend that much to buy a handbag? Haba... We sef nor de try shaaa. Though I'm sure that bag may not cost up to that but the mere fact that it's designers caused the customs to search for the true value. The least she should have done was ask her husband to send her the receipt via Whatsapp instead of allowing them to compute the cost themselves. She de form social media activist isssorite uchman: |

Nigerians are too too emotional to reason with facts. How can someone subject a luggage or personal effect of about $140 to import duties? If we only we can reason together for a moment, then we can agree that our leaders and law enforcers have gone MAD! (1) You leave Nigeria through any of the airports, you pay for carrying any small foodstuffs (2) You come back with anything worth $140, you pay duties. Who did us this kind thing? 7 Likes 1 Share |

J111333: Sadly, Nigeria never learn anything useful from other countries. When the Western countries experienced economic downturn, they gave tax breaks in addition to bailout funds. These help catalyze economic growth, and provide employment. In Nigeria we tax more in the face of economic hardship. 2 Likes |
