New Tariff On Importation of Tokunbo Cars Postponed??? by BizBooks(m): 1:05pm On Jul 02, 2014 |
Vanguard is reporting that the new tariff has actually gone into effect. See important update down thread. The new 70% tariff on importation of tokunbo cars has been postponed till January 1, 2015. The previous date of July 1, 2014 has in effect been rendered null and void. The official reason given for this decision was that the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) had declared all the new made-in-Nigeria cars "unroadworthy". They claim that none of the new car manufacturers had come to them for certification. Apparently, without a SON certification, they cannot be allowed to ply Nigerian roads. If you have a car at the Port, do not let your agent take you for a ride. Let him know that the old rate still applies. I will upload a newspaper clipping of the announcement shortly. 16 Likes |

The president is too tolerant, this is how the auto policy will become a charade. The same way he tolerated boko harm till they became a national embarrassment.that is how he tolerated slow poke ministers until they made his administration a laughing stock and went further to take the life of some youths in the name of recruitment exercise. He is presently tolerating Biafra zionists until they start taking up arms, I mean real arms. Just like he tolerated obasanjo until he almost started dictating does and don'ts for him. How can SON not be carried along in a policy like this. How can we continue to play with a policy that will revive so many industries at the same. How can we be this inconsistent as a people and expect to be taken seriously by others. This administration will pass in no distant future but will the results of their inactions pass with it? Time is ticking Destinies are been delayed Seriously, I don't like this inconsistency even though I will be told its human feelings and a listening leaders style 23 Likes |

BizBooks: The new 70% tariff on importation of tokunbo cars has been postponed till how do we lay our hands on the authentic cost. some of us plan to import. |
Re: New Tariff On Importation of Tokunbo Cars Postponed??? by BizBooks(m): 11:16pm On Jul 02, 2014 |
pet_saint: What do you mean by "authentic cost"? If by that you mean the standard price for clearing a car, then it depends on several factors including the year, model, agent etc. While there are no fixed prices, I have noticed that the cost of clearing a given car is generally the same from one agent to the other. So you may need to contact 2 or 3 agents to get an idea of the "authentic cost". |

Important Update: I don't know who to believe anymore. Vanguard is reporting that the New Automotive Policy went into effect on July 1, 2014 as scheduled. ThisDay on their part are saying it has been postponed till January 2015. Vanguard's version of events which contained detailed quotes from Olusegun Aganga (the Trade Minister) appears to be more credible. Below is a portion of Vanguard's version. See if you can make any sense out of it: THE Federal Government yesterday said contrary to reports, the new vehicle Source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/new-auto-policy-wont-increase-cost-vehicles-fg-2/ 1 Like |

How will SON determine Road worthy cars? Which crash tests have been organised? Which testing facilities are available? How will they test air bag deployment and side impact beams? How many of those new cars donated by the car manufacturers to SON for testing will actually be subjected to the crash tests and not converted to Sunday Sunday carriers for Oga's family? 9 Likes |
