Freight forwarders seek cancellation of 35% import levy on new vehicles
Wednesday, January 30, 2019 11:36 pm


Imported cars

Nigerian freight forwarders on Wednesday called for an outright cancellation of the 35 per cent levy imposed on new vehicles imported into the country.

The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) made the call in a statement signed by its Vice President, Dr Kayode Farinto.

ANCLA urged the Federal Government to review its automotive policy which had made Nigerian ports unattractive to importers and encouraged smuggling of vehicles through the country’s land borders.

According to the freight forwarders, Nigeria lost over N360 billion revenue to its neighbours through smuggling of vehicles into the country in the last six years.

The Customs Comptroller-General, Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd), recently called for a reduction of levy on imported new vehicles from 35 per cent to 10 per cent.

The association said that government had succeeded in enriching the neighbouring countries at the expense of Nigeria’s economy.

“The auto policy is inherited from previous administration and the auto policy is to the advantage of few Nigerians and some feudals in the society.

“Although the policy is a lofty idea for a long term implementation, but it has been hijacked by some cabals in the country thereby exploiting and milking Nigerians.

“We can also count or estimate the number of Nigeria Customs officers’ lives that have been lost in combating the smuggling of vehicles at our borders.

”Vehicles continue to enter our porous borders through unapproved routes, unhindered, on a daily basis in spite of the efforts of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and other security agencies to curb this smuggling.

“All efforts by the Customs to implement the policy is jeopardised and that is why the Comptroller-General of Customs, Retired Col. Hameed Ali, pleaded with the federal government to have 25 per cent reduction on the levy payable on new vehicles,” Farinto said.

Farinto appealed to the FG to cancel the N35 per cent levy payable on new vehicles.

He suggested that government should introduce a policy whereby the newer the vehicle the lesser the rate of duty payable as practised in Ghana.

He said that there was the need for government to create an enabling environment through the Local Content Act where Nigerian-made radiator could be produced and compete with any radiator produced in the world.

ANLCA said that government should do an audit of all beneficiaries of the auto policy in the last four years

Without any notice, without any prior hint, the official Customs exchange rate was increased yesterday. The rate which used to be N306 per dollar has now been increased to N326 per dollar. Consequently, this has led to an increase in the cost of clearing cars and other imported items at the Nigerian ports.

The new rate was announced on Monday morning and it was implemented immediately throwing lots of vehicle owners and clearing agents into a state of confusion.

One of the clearing agents Autojosh spoke to confirmed that he had been asked to pay a surface duty amount of N2,350,000 for a Mercedes Benz SUV. However, he got a shocker after he tried to input the details into the Customs server in order to proceed with the clearing process. "This N2,500,000 I'm seeing on this computer must be an error".. He said to himself.

Another agent said he had calculated the total clearing cost of his customer's 2005 Toyota Camry using the usual surface duty of N201,000. Now, he has to go back to his customer to explain that the surface duty has been increased to N214,000 (note that these quoted surface duties is different from total clearing costs. Surface duty does not include taxes, shipping/terminal charges and other ancillary costs).

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents at Tin Can Island Port, Mr Emmanuel Onyeme, all transactions and cargoes that were cleared at the port on Monday were already paying N326 per dollar.

The introduction of this policy is really saddening and it's even more saddening that it was implemented with immediate effect after importers had shipped their items and clearing agents had already accepted jobs using calculations based on the old rate of N306 per dollar.

Do you have a car or other items that's currently heading to Nigeria? Be ready to pay more than you initially anticipated.
