Detailed Information On Clearing A Container In Lagos. by Mekjim(m): 6:28am On Jan 03, 2013
Nairalander...

Here I come and I need your help in getting right info to put me on track with my budget. I am a big fan of this site but I seem to be on the other side of the world to contribute much. So hopefully you can assist me in my business idea before it kick off shortly.

I need information on cost of Clearing a container / cars in Nigeria.

I am planning on shipping a 20ft or 40ft Container from Yokohama Japan to Lagos Nigeria. Am not sure which shipping line I will use yet but the containers will have 5 or 6 cars in it.
It will be (2 unit)2000 Volkswagen Golf 4, (2 unit) 2002 Volkswagen Golf 4, (1 unit) 2004 Volkswagen Golf 5 and (1 unit) 2005 Volkswagen Golf 5.

My question is, how do I clear this cars, will everything be cleared as one container or I have to clear each car separately.

What's the cost of clearing a 20ft and 40ft Container?

Whats the cost of Clearing each of this cars separately if I cannot clear all as one container?

If I can clear as container, what is the cost to truck the container to Ibadan if you know? But I will prefer offloading the cars at Port and Drive to Ibadan.

Your quick response will be highly appreciated.

Am planning on shipping this as soon as possible and hope it will arrive in Nigeria in Few months while am on ground.

Thank you.

You will have to pay duty for each car.
Never you settle for the lowest quotation from an agent.
Go for a trust worthy agent.
Make sure you have a reciept/document from your agent CLEARLY stating the content of the container, total cost of the clearing the cotainer, duration to clear the container, agreed initial deposit and balance to be paid at delivery.
Another point is offloading/discharging is not more than 30k witin the vicinity of the port, though discuss this with the agent.
Lastly, make the agent understand that any delay will be borne by him.
This will act as a guide and protect your from some of our dubious agent.

Thank you very much and I sincerely appreciate the guidance.
"Trust and understanding" matter most when it comes to business. Hopefully I can find one here.

Where are the Nairalander Clearing Agents?
Kindly chip in so I can at least have an estimate of what it will cost.

Thank you all.

This is the number of the agent who clears for me, 08027112112 his name is chimezie very trustworthy but his price is a little bit on the high side. But his job is 100% guaranteed he has been clearing containers for me for over 2 years now. Tell him Emmanuel gave you his number, the guy who lives in Canada.

I did respond to your email too though.

1 - My question is, how do I clear this cars, will everything be cleared as one container or I have to clear each car separately.

Each cars in the said container would be cleared.

2 - What's the cost of clearing a 20ft and 40ft Container?

The content of the container would determine the cost of clearance.

3 - Whats the cost of Clearing each of this cars separately if I cannot clear all as one container?

2000 VW Golf - N250k
2002 VW Golf - N250k
2005 VW Golf - N300k

4 - If I can clear as container, what is the cost to truck the container to Ibadan if you know? But I will prefer offloading the cars at Port and Drive to Ibadan.

Duty is paid on each of the cars in the Container and most cost effective to have the container offloaded in the port vicinity and cars driven to your Ibadan abode.

Good evening sir,
simply tell your shipping agent to have the vehicles shipped RORO on aes or in a MAERSK container to Lagos .
Expect the following quotes to get them cleared.

Camry 08 - N600,000
Accord 08 - N600,000
Pathfinder 06 - N450,000
Camry 07 - N500,000

Call 08036363467 or send an email to info@dudzmobility.com or Call 08036363467 for more information

If you don't have any load to be stuffed with the vehicles in the container, RORO shipping option is better as container cost you more to clear. AES or Sallaum shipping are good option for now.

Thank you very much I am very grateful to hear from all of you I have a question, I want to know what the difference is in terms of price between shipping through roro and shipping in a container ? personally I have goods worth $1500 and I am looking for the best cost effective means my other question is how effective is this do you think this is the best quotation I could ever get ? How much does it take to also clear a 2008/09 highlander?
