If no customs in the house,what of a clearing agent?

@ Onwan
My apologies,mixed up your name with Dammiedex
@Dammiedex
No offence,but I don't believe your story of clearing your cars with original custom papers,your ads show u allocation some money for custom clearing which I presume to be clearing in the Host country's custom. Please give total breakdown from cost of buying to leaving the park,to landing to lagos,and clearing thru Nigerian custom of the last two cars you did business on.Once again no offence,just tryn to clear some issues in my mind

Onwan:
I have bought cars from Kotonou and all I do is to give the receipt from the dealer to the official that handle my vehicle documents (including tinted permits) and its taken care of within a week with the Autoreg and all.

I cant even argue with anyone about this because its what I know and have. Also I met a customs team on one of my trips to Ibadan and he explained to me that lots of people arrange customs papers even for cars coming in through Lagos ports without it being registered with them and that they do sieze such vehicles.

So my advise again is that once a car is in Nigeria - even if its a 1935 model, let the right officials take of these things for you - and IF thats not good enough for you, then its your business. This is Nigeria, its a very practical country and these things work the way they do.

usiness on.Once again no offence,just tryn to clear some issues in my mind

Any custom officer on this forum to educate us?

I totally agree,SO WHO WILL BELL D CAT!!!!!!!!!!!

fuke:
Unfortunate,guys have turned this serious matter to advertising.

The house says the customs should limit their operations to the boarder.
That is the law, whether good or bad. The pests should get off the road.

Dealers should petition the house to punish the pot bellied rogue in Kogi.

this can only happen in a containerized shipping,and the over aged cars must be 1 or 2 max among d 4

[size=16pt]IT DOES EXIST[/size]. Just sold one that came in tru lagos port last November and another one tru same port in march, I did load it myself and cleared by my able agent. it depends ON how far u can see, my brother.

in the container,try more and that container will have issues when it land

Onwan:
Thats not true.

Ask perfectbuyer - he advertises cars from Kotonou and he specifies clearing costs. Thats not smuggling.

@Onwan
The cost of clearing that perfectbuyer indicated is the clearing in Kotonou at the park AND NOT NIGERIAN CUSTOMS,beware cos those cars will land at your door step with no paper

I don't think it is viaable clearing a car thru the host country's custom(Lome or Benin) then coming to Seme and paying for our duties too.
E.g I buy a car of 2m CFA pay 350kCFA to clear the car thru the host countries custom then come to THE CURRUPT LANDs border and clear thru custom with another 200k naira.
Anybody in the house that could shead more light on the custom tarrif at our borders,is it the same as when coming thru our ports,
Onwan give me yur number so I can call u for details

I want to think that the best way to identifying a genuine custom paper is to take the paper to their office,it has a serial number that will be on their network and can be view online,There are lot of fake papers that have the details uploaded to their system so it cannot be detected as a fake.So i guess we could call those ones ORIGINAL

DaudaAbu:
A frnd told me that as far as d car comes in thru cotonou the customs pple wil disturb u.they claim that the papers are fake.that genuine papers dont come thru land border. Does that are spared are those that pass throu port. This got me wondering what of all dis cars that claim to come thru seme border and all. what is is particularly that a buyer is supposed to look for to identify genuine custom papers? Can some1 also buy it to like lagos and then do the custom papers there?

is it d 400dollars ?

Nigerian naturally want to beat any system they find themselves

The little I know about full option is this
It is the best option of that model ,it usually comes with the following
1. Leather seats
2. Alloy rims
3. Sun roof
4. highest level of electrical installatn(e.g the full option of baby boy comes with the drivers seat controls being electronic)

perfectbuy:
I have my reasons for saying it is full option, but what can I say the customer is always right

Note: Dis car is not full option,nice ride

1.4m is the final cost after going thru customs

I sold a 2002 which is still d same body style as 2000. It goes for within 2.1m to 2.4m.
Cheers

I tire oh.tanx[quote author=Kunle-A link=topic=436360.msg5948616#msg5948616 date=1272205318]^^^^Now that you know. You were complaining about the $400 surcharge on new imports thru Lagos and you want to be bringing your car thru Lome. Even as you pay today, nothing stops these leaches from extorting you again next year or whenever they feel like it. So think twice.^^^^[/quote]

About a month back, I sent a driver to deliver a vehicle to a client in Kano. He took off from Ibadan and on getting to Kogi State, he ran into a custom check point and the vehicle was impounded. It was moved to their Lokoja Office and they demanded 150k. Due to the intervention of a Police officer they collected 80k after the car spent over 60 hours in their office. No reciept was issued for this.
The car came in thru Lome
The driver was at my place this morning to inform me again that another vehicle was impounded from him from Custom in that same state(this time Okene route) few days back(not mine)
I remember that the House of reps instructed the custom to limit their search for custom papers to the borders. What can we do now as that directive has been ignored or has it been changed?

Thanks guys,I tire for this our country oh,E be like say na Lome I go dey bring cars thru now

Ple is it true that cars leaving US for Naija attract an extra 400 dollars,pls help me out

Please note that men are naturally serial monogamist,it takes the grace of God to find a man who has never cheated on his wife. My advice try not to think about it.MARRIAGE IN OUR CUSTOM FAVOURS THE MEN.
He enjoys the thrill of sleeping with a new face whether uglier or more beutiful than his wife
