Hello,
So I bought three used smart phones from eBay.
The phones just came this afternoon via EMS post office.

The office called me and said my items have arrived, but I am gonna pay #41,000 as custom duty.This means I am am average of 13,000 per phone.

This is ridiculously high for a country who does not produce a phone.

It's also very surprising that the phones are even old used phones that reigned in 2006.

Edited.

I just collected them.

1..Hp ipaq glisten,cost is w $48 and the duty I paid is #600.

2...Hp ipaq h6318,cost is $10 and the duty I paid is #300

3...Iphone 10,the cost is $450 and the duty I paid is a whopping #41,000

There are many companies in Nigeria that would have helped in shipping this phone for you. All you will need to pay is under $35

Messed up system

Kubernetes:


Shipped on 3rd August using USPS.
53 days

You f.up you should have you those local shippers, 28 days max and you won't spent up to 10k for these stuff you bought

You could have simple use a shipping company like Amgray to Ship carry such goods. It will cost you lest than 18k for everything you mentioned there. Even nothing up to that. Get your findings well before embarking on such next time

UDUJ:


Next time you want to buy anything from the US like electronics etc use Amazon. Shop from amazon and at check out pay for priority international express. Amazon will then send it through DHL or UPS. Once it arrives Nigeria DHL and UPS does the customs clearance for you, you don't pay a dime to Nigerian customs because it's already in the shipping fees you paid while shoppong at Amazon.com

This is what I always do whenever I shop from the US. And it takes an average of just 4 to 5 working days to get to me once its shipped from the US.

Nigerian customs are criminals and better avoided

lol. with those ridiculous shipping fees?

scottyy:

lol. with those ridiculous shipping fees?

Well I pay the high shipping rates for peace of mind. For me it's worth it for the following reasons:
1. It takes an average of 3 to 5 working days for me to receive it in my house once Amazon ships it from the US
2. I can track my packages at every point of transit
3. I am rest assured my packages will never get missing or stolen
4. I don't need to bother with Nigerian customs as DHL or UPS does the clearance for me (DHL and UPS each have dedicated customs clearance departments - they are that organized).

So you see my reasons. I don't like worrying or having anxiety so I like doing things that doesn't stress me too much.

Your claims sounds bogus though

Wanted saying iphone X
And I hope you x means 10

tonyxrated:


Is this the total expenses for d iPhone X?

Bought for $450.
Cost of shipping is about $35.
When it got to Nigeria, customs charged #41,000 as duty

Reference:


...53 days....did it come by hot air balloon....

I think,it takes 5-7 days to sort and clear at various points from USA and even here in Nigeria

001spice:
you r a leaner

Naa,I have been using eBay,amazon,Ali Express,alibaba,mobility,etc for over 10 years.I usually use their payment options to avoid loss,and even if there is loss,I can open dispute and make claim.
Just last week I got a Macbook I bought on eBay from $60 and I paid less than #2k for duty.

tranxo:

IPhone 10 reigned in 2006? Okay oo

There were 3 phones.The 1st two reigned in 2006-2009.The last is the iphone x.

adisabarber:


Did you declare them as used? Next time ask for revaluation.

Duty is a fxn of the price

supaflex:


How long did it take for your items to arrive?

Ideally,it should be 1 month.
But this one took 53 days,I guess due to corona

ajbabs:

You bought phone worth of $450 in US and you called it ordinary.
Do you even bother to know that car dealers pay as much as #350,000 as custom duties on cars (salvage) purchased for as low as $1,200 from US?

Exactly,that's true.
I bought a ford edge from Corpat last month shipping was $1,200
