Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria 2020… Its no longer news that Nigeria still does not manufacture cars (except for a few cases where we hear of cars being assembled in Nigeria). Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria This post will list out the current cost of clearing cars in Nigeria Tin can port, Cotonou (Seme Border), Apapa Port and other ports to deliver them to a client in Nigeria. Charges such as Nigerian custom duty charge on imported cars, port charges and clearing agent charges will also need to be paid for this to be successfully carried out. As of two years ago, the system by which the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) charges for clearing cars changed. Instead of charging according to year of manufacture, they now charge according to the cost of the car (Which they determine), not the year of manufacture. The charge is 35% of whatever you paid for used vehicles, then an extra levy of 35% for new cars making it 70% of what you paid for new car . So assuming you bought a new car for N2 million, you will pay N1.4 million to as Customs Surface Duty. You can easily do the math yourself. These price can be brought down if you can find a good clearing agent. Some agents gave us the estimated cost of clearing some cars manufactured in the following year: Estimated Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria (2019).

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has implemented an increase in import duty payable on cargoes from N326 to N361 per dollar following a new foreign exchange policy by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Customs spokesman, Joseph Attah, who confirmed the development to SHIPS & PORTS in Lagos on Thursday, said the implementation of the new exchange rate takes immediate effect. He said, “Yes, I can confirm that a new exchange rate is being implemented effective from today (Thursday). However, Customs do not fix exchange rate, ours is to use whatever is fixed as the official rate by CBN.” Clearing agents operating at the ports have, however, criticized the NCS for not sensitizing and consulting with them on the new policy, which they said would add to the cost of clearing cargoes at the port and prices of goods in the market. Speaking with SHIPS & PORTS, National Vice President, Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Kayode Farinto, described the implementation of the new policy as an act of insensitivity by government especially now that the country is dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic and its negative impact on businesses. “The issue of exchange rate is being controlled by CBN but the stupid thing about Customs is that notes and documents must have been exchanging hands between them and CBN for days before today. Rather than notify or even sensitize agents that government wants to increase the exchange rate so that people can prevail on them to reconsider it, nothing was said by Customs. “We just woke up this morning to find out that the rate has been changed on Customs system without due consultation. It is not too healthy for government to do that. This is an act of insensitivity especially now that we are even trying to convince stakeholders to come to the port as essential workers. “Knowing full well that the oil sector is gone, government is supposed to latch on the window we have in the maritime sector to see how we can continue to manage so that the economy will not be in comatose. But from all indications, it shows that the policy formulators of this country are confused and unfortunately, they are going to bring down this country,” he said. Another frontline clearing agent, Ugochukwu Nnadi, also speaks on the implication of the new exchange rate. “Once the exchange rate is increased, it will translate to an additional cost of doing business. When such things happen, there has never been any notice or sensitization. We only log into the Customs system this morning (Thursday) and see that it been changed. The only time we were informed is when they wanted to increase tax from 5 percent to 7.5 percent but anytime they want to increase exchange rate, they don’t inform us even if you have your Pre Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) document ready before that time. Once the increment is effected, the first exchange rate is nullified and you will need to abide by the new one,” he said. Are you looking for a reliable Customs Clearing Agent?

Ordinarily, clearing a car from the PORTS should be an easy and largely automated task as it's usually done in other advanced part of the world. However, it is plagued with bureaucracies, system downtime, crowd of people to struggle against and dangerous traffic on Apapa roads to contend with when clearing in Lagos. Individuals are usually restricted from handling their clearing jobs themselves. Only licensed clearing agencies get online access and access cards to do the job. This does not mean it is not possible for an individual to clear a car personally. However, they will still need the assistance of a licensed clearing agency at one point or the other. Today, I will be sharing this interesting article and will be taking us through the basic steps involved in clearing a car at the Pprt. 1. Get the vehicle’s Bill of Lading: It will be sent to you by your foreign shipping agent. They can send the original bill of lading through courier services (DHL, FedEx, etc). Alternatively you can opt for it to be sent to you via email if you want to do “Telex Release” or “Print at Destination” in which a copy of the bill of lading can be printed here in Nigeria. Please know that, without this document, it is impossible to do anything in respect of clearing your vehicle. The bill of lading contains the information of the vehicle you want to clear e.g the name, the year, VIN/chassis number, weight, name of vessel, port of origin, port of discharge as well as the details of the shipping agent abroad and the consignee who will receive the vehicle in Nigeria. 2. Apply for import duty valuation: The application must be on the letter head paper of a Registered and Licensed Custom Clearing Agency. A copy of the bill of lading will be attached to the application letter which will be addressed to the Nigeria Custom office e.g TINCAN, PTML Command etc. Unfortunately, individuals cannot apply for this valuation directly, so you have to apply for it through a clearing agency. In response to the application letter which will be submitted physically, the Customs officials will write the dollar ($) value of the vehicle and this dollar value is what is used to calculate surface duty which is 35%. Additional 35% levy is charged on brand new cars which makes it 70%. This is how to calculate the surface duty assuming the dollar rate of a car is $4000. $4000 X 35% (import duty rate) X #361(Custom official Dollar exchange rate) = #505,400 Note: This value is just the surface duty and you’ll still have to pay for Tax, Surcharge...etc which will make the TOTAL DUTY #697,957. Terminal, Shipping and other charges will also be paid, it varies depending on the size of the car and it's content. 3. Input the valuation into the custom server: After getting the valuation from the custom command, the details will have to be inputted into the custom server. This is officially called “Direct Trader Input (DTI)”. However, it is popularly referred to as[b] “Punching”[/b]. It is the unique procedure for submitting electronic manifest to Nigeria Custom Service and it can only be done through the same registered agency whose letter head paper was used to apply for the valuation. The Tax Identification Number of the consignee will also be needed at this stage. Upon completion, print the DTI also called “Assessment Notice” as well as SGD (Single Goods Declaration Form). The SGD gives a description of the transaction e.g type of vehicle, the terminal it is located, duty amount and content of the car if anything is loaded in it. 4. Pay import duty: The import duty has to be paid to the bank that was stated while punching. The document needed by the bank for import duty payment is the assessment notice. After the payment is made, the bank will issue a bank receipt. Some banks now accept online payment but evidence of payment will still be picked up from their branch. 5. Physical inspection and releasing from customs: Collate all the documents and submit them to the custom office. The required documents are: bank receipt, assessment notice, SGD, valuation copy and bill of lading. Upon submission, the documents are registered then they’ll schedule the vehicle for physical examination. This will enable them sight the car and confirm that it tallies with the submitted documents. They confirm the make, year and VIN/chassis number of the vehicle. They will also check the amount paid for duty and confirm if there is any load in the vehicle after which a report will be submitted to the releasing officer. At this point, the vehicle may not be released if the amount paid is less than the required import duty as an[b] “Alert[/b]” may have been placed on that vehicle until the outstanding is paid. 6. Print exit at the Terminal: After releasing, proceed to the Terminal with the SGD to print exit copy, you can print this with the C-Number on the custom document if you like. This is the simplest of all the processes. 7. Release from Shipping Company: Collate all your ocuments to get the car released from the shipping company. The required documents include signed original bill of lading, SGD, exit copy and signed copy of the consignee’s identity (e.g Drivers Licence, International Passport, National ID and duly stamped/singed Certificate of Incorporation for companies). You also need a copy of the Form C30 (Custom document that permits clearing agencies to operate) and an authority letter from the agency whose details was used to apply for valuation. The shipping company will check all these documents then give an assessment to pay for shipping and terminal charges which can be paid as cash, through POS or online transfer. 8. Sign Gate at Custom Office: Proceed to register and sign at the gate office. The custom release document and the exit copy from the shipping company will be needed. They will check the duty paid and verify it on the system. After which, the officer in charge will stamp and sign-off your document. 9. Collect TDO (Terminal Delivery Order): To collect the TDO, the shipping company’s payment receipt and copy of the signed gate document are required. 10. Receive delivery of the vehicle at the floor: Documents can now be submitted for the vehicle to be delivered to the open floor ready to cross the final exit gate. 11. Final custom check: At the floor, a custom officer and a shipping company official will do their final checks before the car drives out of the port. 12. Final fees: Before the vehicle is driven out of the gate, final fees will be paid to custom officers on duty, clearing agent’s association, omo-onile fees etc. Don’t forget to like, rate and share. Note:These steps are subject to change without notice and may vary from one shipping line or terminal to another. We used cars shipped through Grimaldi and Sallaum RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) as case study for this write up. Are you looking for a reliable Customs Clearing Agent?
