pls help,I got a car from a car dealer only to discover that d chassis no. on d custom paper was reversed, instead of 231999,it was written 321999.what can I do. I have called d dealer who is still insisting its a Typo. Should I be worried, will custom not gimme any problems?

don't bother your head....do they (custom/police) read ?


anyway, just to satisfy yourself, you could get a learned custom officer for a superseding cover up letter clarifying 'To whom it may concern' that the error was a typo. be sure to drop some tips.

Vin numbers are longer than that, and contain alphabets, is probably a fake.

GAZZUZZ:
Vin numbers are longer than that, and contain alphabets, is probaly a fake.

That is the last 6 numbers of the chassis number, it is not fake

Customs check last 6 digits so what will be your exlanation?

GI and meet a senior custom officer and explain to him. Sure you will be advised accordingly. But it will come with some tips.

Thanks all, it's d last 6 digits of the vin. I will take your advice and look for senior Ccustom officer to get d cover note. I hope that will save the day. Anymore suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

Simply go and swear an affidavit that you observed an error in your document.

Port of discharge: Tincan Lagos

Hello friend,the document did not show any car present,it showed a container full of spare parts.apparently he did not pay duty.the papers are fake!

So sorry to barge into this thread but I happen to be in this same kind of dilemma at the moment.

I have just purchased a Honda accord sedan that was said to be imported from Asia. The custom paper reads CLX3001179 while on the engine, I can visibly read CL73001179. What can I do please to rectify this error?

Custom ref no: 2014 C2346
Port of discharge : Apapa port
I will appreciate your response please.

@z3us Thank
What is the way out of this mess, I don't want the car impounded. Which custom office can I visit in Lagos to sort it out? I intend to travel with the car and I do visit Seme border as well.
The custom paper shows it was imported alone and not in a container.

@z3us, thanks. the declaration:2013A134309, declarant:c0481rc401734. custom office -tincan island. Thanks in anticipation.

hello i need just the c no (customs reference )and date and port of discharge

I'm not here to say I said so, but ur vehicle passed the gates without paying duty, it happens all the time. Now if you want to solve this problem you will have to pay custom duty again, (iv been there and done that on my vehicle and its very painful)go to their office without your vehicle and tell them your tale. I also have custom officer friends that can assist you if you are interested.

@Gazzuzz, which of the cars now cos the're are a couple of cars now on d tread. @z3us, awaiting your response please.

@z3us, c130375, 2013/10/14. thanks

@ z3us there seems to be mixup somewhere. Another custom source that checked for me said it was declared spare part in a container same thing u told me. That I have to pay current charges to get proper doc.
I decided to visit Custom Federal Ops at Ikeja to find a way out, surprisingly was told my paper was ok. Went to PTML CPS Tincan where the car was cleared and they even printed some doc that I have that was used in clearing the car from their sys. I also got a signed inspection act which was not in the original with names of the examiner and officers that released the car.

@z3us pls am waiting for ur response
@kayoday wht is d cost of confirmg at ikeja and what is d time frame to get it done
