Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. But is this template available for public enlightenment and information or it is only customs and clearing agents that has access to it?

Keep up the good work. Which is cheaper to clear trucks (specifically 30tons, 1998 and below), land via Cotonou or Lag ports?

I doubt that the value of the car does not count.

A friend of mine cleared a 2011 highlander recently. The car was bought at $12100. It was cleared for about 1.6million

On his papers, the car was valued at $12100 x 313 = N 3,787,300
The 35% alone was N1,325,555

So explain this

I think the cost of shipping is also used in the calculation.

Autos › Re: Total Cost Of Clearing A Vehicle In Nigeria by agabusta: 8:35pm On Sep 21, 2016

femmy2010:
The amount you bought your vehicle does not matter to Customs as they use their already calculated valuation .
Meaning you could buy a car for $3,000 and Customs valuation for it is $5,000.

So get the exact quote that would clear your shipment to allow you make an informed decision before shipping .

Need our service?
Call 08036363467 or send an email to info@dudzmobility.com

Please what do they use in arriving at their valuation? Do they have a standard template or it is dependent on the mood of the person doing the valuation?

JaaizTech:
I find it strange that clearing agents, prefer to just quote prices without giving you a breakdown of what the cost is meant for. I think the client should be made to understand what the agent is charging for his services, what is being paid as the actual import duty and what is being paid to the shipping company, I think this way clients can make more informed decisions. I just feel if I understood how the process works then I would have been able to make more informed decisions.

oliverjiad:
evening sir

what's happening this days about clearing no one can determine a real and stable value,reason is that federal government as set the customs tariff to forex,so the clearing charges are not stable and theres flauntuation on clearing charges

Regards

Jaid

Is the cost of clearing done as per the cost of purchase of the car over there, or there is a general base value that customs use for the year/brand of the imported car?

I think if you answer the question from that angle, you would have educated a lot of people.

Please what was the total cost of clearing that truck and its associated load? They were cleared separately I think?

The car on top including the bus looks like broken down vehicles. Or were the tyres removed so that they can fit?

If they are actually broken down vehicles, were they cleared like other good cars with the usual percentage of duty, inspection and port surcharges?

I'm in the process of making a similar import which is the reason for my plenty questions

This is a very wrong mindset. I have buddies working in some govt agencies. This is the same thing some people told a number of them when they initially applied for the roles, but they decided to have a positive mindset and went through the entire process successfully without knowing anybody.

Today, some alarmists and pessimists like you when they hear where they work still ask them who assisted them into the agency.

Good to know that the current administration has jettisoned the idea of buying scratch cards for recruitment into Federal Government agencies.

That was so irritating before. Even private sectors that govt is supposed to regulate does not do that.

Taich:
After formulating policies( well brain stormed one) the next challenge is implementation. I think that's where Nigeria is getting it wrong. Lack of quality policies and policy inconsistency. The next president of Nigeria is going to unbundle the super ministries back to where it was, because what ever the vision was, clearly is not working. That's one of many.

Look at how you are contradicting yourself. You claimed policy inconsistency is a major challenge, and you are already advocating for unbundling of the super ministries even before they have used 1 year! According to you, because they are not working.

Is that not inconsistency of the highest level?

What is with Nigerians and impatience sef?

You need good data over time before you can run your mouth that a policy is not working.

Those super ministries are yet to use even 1 year.

Why not let them run for at least 2 years, we can then do a comparison of the amounts allocated to them while they were individual smaller ministries and how far they were able to achieve their mandate....

Then also compare their performance as a 'super ministry' in relation to funds made available to them and achievement of set objectives.

That is how to make informed assertions and not just talking in abstraction.

Most of these successful developed foreign countries we like to make reference to, how many ministries/departments of govt do they even have??

In Nigeria, we want to have ministry for every little thing. That was how I was reading the other day that a state has Ministry of Chieftaincy affairs and also has Ministry of Tourism and culture. Is that not unnecessary waste and bureaucracy?

I don't see anything super in combining Ministry of Transportation and Aviation. They are supposed to be together.

It's only Fashola's Power, Works and housing that looks a little cumbersome due mainly to the addition of power to works and housing. But given that direct govt control in the electricity value chain has significantly reduced, there is little available for govt to do except effective and efficient regulatory overview and interventions when necessary.

And we can always assess how successful the merger is after a while, not less than 1 year with no obvious comatose.

Emmaoga:

so Buhari didn't go through the write up before presenting the speech abi?

The way you reason is also baffling. I can tell you 95 percent of people who read and listened to that PMB's speech will not know there are insertions there.

It is only someone who has taken time to read Obama's speech that will know. Kindly take not of the use of "taken time to read".

I read that Obama's speech years ago. And I also read PMB's speech. And didn't notice.

PMB can never notice. So you mean whenever a speech is delivered to him to make his contributions, he has to first get all the speeches by world leaders and compare it to it huh

The speech writer should know better than copy someone else's speech. The person's job is on the line at the moment.

All world leaders have speech writers, all they do is to look at it and make personal inputs before approving it.

Politics › To Boost Job Creation, Fed. Ministry Offers Foreign Investors 3-year Tax Holiday by agabusta(op): 12:25pm On Sep 16, 2016*

To boost job creation, federal ministry offers foreign investors 3-year tax holiday

As part of incentives to serious investors, Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has offered prospective investors in the Nigerian mining sector three years’ tax holiday. This incentive would commence from the date such investor resumes mining operations in the country.

The Minister stated this while speaking at the opening session of the recently concluded Africa Down Under Conference in Australia.

Fayemi said “the country is determined to return stronger to the global ore and mineral market and would drive the growth and development of the sector through the private sector.”

Other incentives approved by the federal government for investors in the mineral and mining sector include exemption from customs and import duties on mining equipment, sole ownership of companies by such investors, favourable tax regime and royalties. While showing graphical images detailing incentives applicable in other countries including Australia, USA, South Africa and Chile, he made it known that the incentives being offered by the Nigerian government are more generous.

The minister also identified security as another major area the government is investing in so as to ensure security of investments and investors.

In his words, “Our government has a renewed commitment to the improvement of security across mine site, logistic related security and general terrorism,” he said.

He reiterated that Nigeria is determined to build a world-class minerals and mining ecosystem designed to serve a targeted domestic and export market for minerals and metals, adding that part of the vision of the ministry is to contribute to job creation.

supersystems:
Isnt this allegation too weighty ? Considering the CBN and directives are under the powers of a president who is a conservative person to the core than a risk taker it would be the presidents fault should recession be rampant through out our system. Just like any other country whatever the policies of the CBN,it is subject to a president who is constantly making the wrong turns and decisions and doesnt understand what macro economics is. Yes there's a cartel even in Churches they exist but our current economic pariah is 99.9% the president's doing. The quality of decisions made and the aftermath of those decisions.

But i always beive your ideas and enjoy your comments.

Thanks for them any day anytime

The CBN still has a lot of independence that Emefiele is not exercising. He seems a timid man, and that timidity is doing the country a lot of ills. He should take a particular monetary policy stance if he is 100% sure that is the right way to go and stand by it. That is how a man does things. If Buhari is not comfortable with that, he can then push him out.

We all saw how Sanusi stood his ground with GEJ and he was sent packing. Despite being sent packing, is Sanusi worse off today?? Definitely not!

Let Emefiele be a man abeg. At the moment, he is doing badly with the monetary policies. He also messed up the forex with his somersaulting policies. He cannot blame Buhari, he should take his stand or step aside. The constitution has already done its part by shielding him to some extent.

He should take his stance and if Buhari forcibly pushes him out, everyone will know he has done his part.
