The import duty is inclusive.

adexfem, is a clearing agent and not a car dealer but i can help you discuss with some guys in the US.Cheers.

Vindylomo, you are welcome.
I like going straight to the point when discussing business online.I have learnt that time is very important when doing business online.
Assuming we are talking one on one now then i can be beating around the bush.
I usually charge on what you ship.Not that i charge 300k for cars like 2000 and above.
Let me know what you want to offer, and i will tell you if its ok by me.
Thanks.

Vindylomo,
I will charge you ------ for each car. Thanks.

Gobi38,
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement.
I will surely keep the flag flying.

You are all welcome.

toxx, get your gist.I hope to help you clear your next shipment.
As for cars,demand for cars overhere are high.If you bring what most peolpe want, you will surely make your dough.
For instance, viper has a client that needs 2007 camry.
Sop,do your math,and decide.

Hey toxx, thought you are giving me the job .

ricki,
The information on the Bill of Lading is not enough for the customs to release the container.They usually examine the container to confirm whether the information on the BOL corresponds with what you have in the container.They call it physical examination.
If they dont do that,no cargo will be impounded in the port.
Sop, your container will be opened in the presence of your agent by the customs, then locked back.
Its no big deal.Except you want to bring in banned goods. .

ricki,
I charge based on what you have inside the container.I cant just charge on the container only.Someone can put 4 cars inside a 40ft container while another person can decide to put just 2 cars, so it depends on what you have in the container.Let me know the other cars so that i can charge altogether.

Viper,
Thanks for the comment.

Toxx22
You are welcome to nairaland.I am clearing agent based in Lagos,and i will charge 250k for the odyssey.But you said the car is inside a shared container, which means the whole container has to be cleared all together.If the other people are yet to get an agent, you can give the details of the other cars in the container so that i can charge all together.

You are welcome.
Contact me when you are ready to ship the car ooooo.

Hi Lucian,
That will cost you 250k.

Longman,
That is true i usually assign securities for my roro cars even if they are not 06/07.
But you and i know the cost of these 06/07 cars.Most people use containers for these cars.
I will advise you to use roro if you are shipping just one car, but if you have more than one car, then its better you use container.Thanks.

ricki,
Good observation, they smuggle the cars through the neighboring borders, Cotonou, Togo and the rest.

Sunolat,
will be expecting.Thanks.

sunolat,
Importation of funiture has been banned.I wil recomend safmarine.They do come to Houston. www.safmarine.com
or www.mearskline.com
Call me or contact me via email so that i can advise you.
Roro means transporting your goods loosely. Goods transported in this manner are referred to as loose cargo.
Most people use roro for less exotic cars.It is not ideal to put a 2007 car on roro.I hope you understand what i mean.
Thanks.

cost of freight depends on what you want to cargo.The time also varies, us to nig is about 3weeks depending on the shipping company.

I will charge, ,  for the maxima.Sorry for replying late.

I will charge, ,  for the celica.
Sorry for replying late.

@Sanjay

A 1x20ft container can contain two cars provided that the cars are not too big, it can contain a small jeep and a small car.This also depends on the experience of the people at the loading point.
You can call or contact me via email so that i can give you my charges.

Thanks for the comment.
Whats the name of the shipping company?
Most shipping companies don't clear cargoes, they only ship your cargo and give you the documents.I suggest you ask them very well,probably they are charging you for shipping and not clearing.
I will charge you 1.05M.

@Gobi38
I mean One million and fifty thousand naira (1,050,000) and not One million five hundred thousand naira (1,500,000).
Tell me if my charges are not reasonable.

I will charge you ,

You are welcome.Will be expecting your call.

As a matter of fact, i am a Licensed Custom agent.I can take care of it.
Using a container is safer but costlier..
If you use a container which i prefer most, i will charge you -------.
You can give me a call on 08056345590 or email me on adexfem@yahoo.co.uk so that you can negotiate the price i charged you easily.

The cost depends on the year of the car you want to clear.Recent cars are usually more expensive to clear.The cost of clearing an Honda 2006 model will be higher than that of Honda 2000 model.
The container you use depends on the size of your car.A 1x20ft container can carry 2 cars while it cannot carry 2 big jeeps.Sometimes it also depends on the expertise of the people at the loading point.
The main processes involved are,
-Get your car abroad,
-Get a shipping company or shipping agent over there,
-Pay freight charges to the shipping company(Freight varies with distance,mode of transportation,type of vehicle, and the shipping company involved),
-Collect a Bill of Lading which is the document that contains detail information about your cargo,
-Give the Bill of Lading to the clearing agent which he will use to track your cargo from the shipping company in Nigeria,
-When the ship arrives its destination, the clearing agent will pay the duty charged on your cargo to the Nigerian custom,pay the shipping company charges and some other miscellaneous expenses on your behalf.
-After all the above processes, your cargo is finally released for you to carry.

you are welcome Viper

cgift,

Its unfortunate that you fell into the hands of the wrong agent. .
But don't forget that there are potential 419ers in any business environment. It is left for you to use some common criteria s such as the office location, and the character of the person you are dealing with and so on.
I am a real agent, and not the dubious type.I have my reputation to protect.Anybody that transacts business with me will never regret by Gods grace.
You can contact me if you have any other consignment, i promise you wont regret it.

leslexx,
I am a licensed custom agent, and i also sell cars for my clients.
adexfem@yahoo.co.uk.

Folargbite,
That will cost you --------.

leslexx,
I already told you oo.

Siena,
Get your gist .Sure i have an office land line.But i prefer giving out my mobile number.
I believe the land line you are talking about is not enough but also the office of the person.
My land line is 23417407315.

Hi Lesslexx,

I will clear the 1x40ft container for -----.This include every other expenses except transportation which will cost you at most ---- if it is within Lagos.There are ways to pay less but i will advise you not to jeoparise your hard earned money.We are talking about vehicles that worth, if not more than ----- in nija.It doesnt take the Nigerian customs anything to impound cars and containers.A word is enough for the wise

What years are the other two Sedans?
