Sir, please, is www.salvageworld.net realistic and reliable as a source for importing salvaged vehicles?
Please, would you recommend some reliable vehicle dealers/ suppliers in USA or Canada?
Thanks!

Is there a published standard fee for clearing vehicles and if so what is it based on? Declared value, year?

Say I am bringing in a 2000 or 2003 Ford Explorer, what should I expect to pay for clearing in Lagos?

It is not published.Nigeria customs simply decide what the value of a said car would be.

Have it shipped roro on Grimaldi shipping line and N300k and N330k would clear the 2000 and 2003 Explorer respectively.

Thanks for all the answers.

I went and purchased a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo that I want to use as a test run of sorts.

So now that I have specific, how much will clear this car (it will be in a container with other people cars).

Are there any reputable clearing agent in house?
