@savoir,
There is no way in the earth that a car you pay custom duty car would be seized. If its a recent case, then i bet the custom duty paper with your friend is a fake and non-geniue custom paper. Meanwhile if he wants to confirm what i have just said now, Do ask him to take the custom papers down to any custom port and tell them he wants to verify his custom's paper if its genuie. i am sure its an un-geniune custom paper. The answer to your question is no. The only reason for seizing your car is either you don't pay custom duty for a car that you are meant to be custom duty for, or either the custom duty is not a geniue one.

larry,
you are correct my guy.it is either that person has gotten himself a fake custom papers OR he paid half duty,becuase some heartless people do that for their cusomers not considering the repercussion.infact,now adays customs dont seize cars finally anymore.what they tell you whenever you fall into their trap is to go and pay the duty of the car you bought,regardless of the year.atleast that is better than a final seizure.but im still positive that none of my customers will fall into their hands BY HIS GRACE.

please adeyemik,can u tell me the dealer.
thanks

ayodeji1,
thanks jare, i am aware of the new style of the customs as well.

@ goodieuzo
Was that meant to be on this THREAD?

@Larryshow4 & Ayodeji

Thanks a mil.

Three questions:

How does a buyer ensure he/she gets the correct custom papers?

What services do u offer people who need to buy cars from Cotonou?

How do u charge for your services? percentage-based or a flat fee?

@ savoir,
There are some things you would see that are important in custom papers that would differentiate a geniue paper.
We have the custom duty papers done, We have the clearing papers prepared in cotonou also we have delievery of your cars done safely.

I charge based on Location of cars and Kind of car.

I hope that answers your anxious question?

was in cotonou yesterday, most cars i saw were a bit on the high side, probably cos xchange rate is not favourable 4 now, about 288.5naira to 1000cfa, i heard it used to be like 235naira to 1000cfa last year,

Thanks again. Location? Is that between the US, Cotonou & Nigeria or where? Is it a percentage of the cost price?

@ Larryshow4 & Ayodeji

I send some Golf 3 down to Cotonou, and does custom duty a 1995 model car at seme ? And if yes how much should i have in mind to pay for the duty ? and if No ? how much will it cost to fly it down to Lagos, please explain briefly

Thanks awaiting ur prompt attention

One Love

@sas11,

oh you lucky, the cfa has actually gone up on the high side again to about 295naira to 1000cfa. yeah, around Nov. It was around 235. So not that cars are on the high side. The naira we are holding that we think we are holding money is Valueless at the moment. that is just the truth. you can imagine what dollar is at the moment to when dollar was still 116. Its our govt. I just hope they put we the citizen into consideration when they are doing there Politics.

@savoir,
nope. Say for example, car is meant to be delievered in Abuja, the charges i would give for that would be different from the one i would give for a car being delievered in Lagos. Also for someone buying a camry 1996 model. the charges would be different from the one buying a camry 2007 model. I hope you understand what i am trying to explain now sir.

@sonety2k,

You can pay duty for the golf 3 if you want to and if you want to fly it. No problem as well. meanwhile i would write you an email later to explain further to you sir.

@ Larryshow4

Thanks for your prompt respond , waiting for your mail as promise

One Love
