BusinessCost Clearing Nissan Cars In Nigeria by clearant(op): 4:29pm On May 23, 2023
Cost clearing Nissan cars uses standard duty calculation formula to estimate what is payable on import of Nisan cars in Nigeria. The assumption is that all cars pay surface duty with 20% rate, 15% levy and 7.5% VAT.
Furthermore, the exchange rate usable between Naira and dollar is the prevailing Customs import rate of the time. Thus, using the figure XF (dollar), which represents the ex-factory value for each car year and model we get duty payable. In addition, car importers pay local charges as well as clearing fees to Agents. Therefore, from experience, we have added all costs together to arrive at CLRG (Naira) in the tabular display below..

BusinessShipping Containers; Sizes, Dimensions, Use by clearant(op): 4:46pm On Dec 10, 2021
Shipping containers have become indispensable in modern-day national and international movement of goods. In whatever size, dimension and form, shipping containers are mainly for storage and transport of goods, materials or objects. Thus, they are sealed and used to move commodities vial rails, roads and sea. Due to the high content of salt and moisture in oceans, containers are durable and reusable. Steal walls, corrugated materials and often wooden or metallic floors give the reinforcement desired.

Why are we taking time to write about containers? Are containers not mere boxes used to move goods between locations you might reason? Well, have ever received bill of lading with DV, GP, HC, HQ, OT, RF, PL COFL and TK abbreviations? You wonder what these terms mean, and sometimes it can be confusing. Hence, we are doing this article to explain different shipping containers.

BusinessBuy Dollar Online In Nigeria by clearant(op): 4:27pm On Dec 10, 2021
Nigerians can now buy dollar online as it were, by applying for Form A. The central bank of Nigeria – CBN automated the Form A for ease of doing business. Thus, individuals can apply to buy dollar from the comfort of their homes and offices. This automation will not only facilitate access to much needed foreign currency, but will solve problems inherent with too much human interface. Especially, considering the covid-19 pandemic, we have no option than to applaud the CBN for this initiative.

BusinessCtn: Nigeria Customs To Return Ctn In 2019? by clearant(op): 4:31pm On Jul 25, 2019
CTN – Cargo Tracking Note may seem a rather strange term to most importers. Especially so, if you were not around the logistics industry in the year 2009 when CTN was first introduced into Nigeria. At seeing the abbreviation – CTN, some would think it’s a short form of container. Others may look at it as representing carton. Yet a few, with medical background could have perceived it as Clinical Trials Network or something else.

What really is the CTN all about? Why was it introduced and later suspended in the Nigeria logistics space? Is there any hint CTN is to be brought back to Nigeria? This article is information-packed. It is one of those articles you wouldn’t like to miss at all. Unless, you are playing a passive role around the import-export value chain, otherwise, read and savour this piece.

BusinessMilk Importation Into Nigeria: No Forex? by clearant(op): 4:18pm On Jul 25, 2019
Milk importation into Nigeria will no longer be a free-for-all ride. The reason is because milk importation into Nigeria will be added to items restricted for foreign exchange. Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele gave this hint on Tuesday 23 July, 2019. The Governor made this known while addressing journalists at the end of the two-day meeting of the monetary policy committee of the bank.

According to the governor, $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion is spent every year to import milk. In his words:“We believe that milk is one of those products that can be produced in Nigeria. Milk importation has been going on in Nigeria for over 60 years. If you Google West African Milk or Frieslandcampina today, they say that they have been importing milk and that they have been in Nigeria for over 60 years.

BusinessExportation License: Goods For Export by clearant(op): 12:57pm On May 22, 2019
Exportation license is a legal document issued by the state or its agency, which shows permission to export goods. The term export license is often used interchangeably with the term export document.

BusinessImport Duty Nigeria: Government’s New Levy by clearant(op): 12:28pm On May 22, 2019
Import duty Nigeria could mean different thing to different people. Used in a loosed sense of a novice, import duty could embrace a whole lot. The lay man or fresh importer thinks import duty covers all charges payable upon importation. Conversely, import duty is not the only duty or money payable on importation to Nigeria. Other duties come in the form of import levy and value added taxes. What is the difference between import duty and import levy? Are there recent changes with import duty in Nigeria or import levy in Nigeria? This article is prepared to answer all question raised herein.

WHAT REALLY IS IMPORT DUTY IN NIGERIA?
Import duty Nigeria if you ask me, refers to surface duty. The duty rate in Nigeria ranges from 0 to 35%, depending on the commodity and tariff code. For more detail on surface duty in Nigeria, see my article for:

BusinessNigeria Economy: A Country Moving Forward? by clearant(op): 10:43pm On May 07, 2019
Nigeria is made up of not less than 250 ethnic groups, each with her unique language. A recent survey puts the population of Nigeria at 203,442,505. Although the country is multi-ethnic, economic factors seem to be most talked about line of division in recent times. Nigeria plays a pivotal role in the economy of West Africa, Africa, and the world at large. The purpose of this article is not to tell the history of Nigeria. Instead, this article will examine how the Giant of Africa as the country is often called is moving economically. In so doing, we want the world to understand that besides bad news awash in the media, there is growth. Yes, I mean economic growth.
From our vantage point, Vagmon Integrated Services has identified the following recipes that have encouraged economic growth:

Relentless crusade against corruption

BusinessContainer Shipping Better Than Lcl Nigeria? by clearant(op): 6:53pm On Mar 18, 2019
Cargo shipping by sea freight takes any of the following three routes:

Full container load
LCL – less than container load or groupage container
non-containerised packages.
The goal of the importer is to minimise overall costs and maximise profit. However, costs and profits are not the only determinants that guide the choice of shipping methods. There are other factors like speed or urgency, simplicity of the process and consignment or cargo size. So, in the nutshell, the importer’s choice of shipping method could be influenced by any of the following factors:

Cost and profit
Time
Size of shipment
Security and risks of damage
Complexity and flexibility, or simplicity of the process
In this article, we will compare the full container load and the less than container load in terms of cost, cargo size and time. The container could be 20 feet or 40 feet size, depending on commodity and quantity. Some items like foodstuff to Nigeria are mainly marked to be carried with a 20 feet container.

BusinessProhibited Commodities Nigeria: Contraband by clearant(op): 5:55pm On Mar 14, 2019
Prohibited commodities Nigeria are often mistaken for goods not valid for foreign exchange. The two classes of goods are completely different from each other. Goods marked as not valid for foreign exchange are commodities that have been listed by the central bank of Nigeria as not fit for inter-bank currency trade. Consequently, importers of such proscribed goods must look elsewhere to buy foreign currency. Prohibited commodities Nigeria fall into two main categories. The two classes of items marked as not allowed for importation into Nigeria are as follow:

Loosely prohibited items
Absolutely prohibited items

PROHIBITED COMMODITIES NIGERIA: GOODS ABSOLUTELY CONTRABAND

The following goods are marked as no-go-areas (ba shiga in Hausa) for imports into Nigeria.

Air Pistols
Airmail Photographic Printing Paper.
All counterfeit/pirated materials or articles including Base or Counterfeit Coin of any Country.
Beads composed of inflammable celluloid or other similar substances.
Blank invoices.
Coupons for Foreign Football pools or other betting arrangements.
Cowries.
Exhausted tea or tea mixed with other substances. For the purposes of this item, “exhausted tea” means any tea which has been deprived of its proper quality, strength, or virtue by steeping, infusion, decoration or other means.

BusinessTerminal Handling Charges, Shipping Company Charges by clearant(op): 9:37pm On Nov 05, 2018
Terminal Handling Charges (THC) also called Container Service Charges (CSC) is the summary of money paid for use of terminal equipment at the ports. Such services usually involve the use of plant, lifting equipment, and other machinery in loading or offloading of the container at the port. Hence, there are two terminal services used by shipping lines at the shipment of a container. Firstly, at the port of shipment or origin, there will be some form of unloading of container from truck, etc. Secondly, at the port of destination there will again be some form of unloading of the container, stacking and movement from the stacked area to the crane.

SHIPPING COMPANY LOCAL CHARGES
Besides the freight cost paid for transport of item from origin/supply to destination, shipping companies make some charges at the destination locality. These charges are generally the same, but with some variations.

BusinessImportation Of Goods: New Importer’s Guide by clearant(op): 7:27pm On Oct 23, 2018
IMPORTATION OF GOODS: WHY THIS ARTICLE?
Having worked in the import and value chain for many years, I found out that many people start importation with little knowledge. A lot of people do not know how the processes work; at least they do not know the beginning and the end. Consequently, untold resources are spent down the importation line. Worst yet, some goods are either lost or confiscated by relevant agencies for non-compliant with due process. This has brought serious heartache to many, and thus, making the business look cumbersome.

Hence, I am releasing this article to help just anyone considering importation of goods. My aim is to help people understand the processes of importation of goods as clear as possible. Thus, they can avoid the issues and heartache resulting from lack of adequate knowledge.

IMPORTATION OF GOODS: WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS ARTICLE?
Is your aim that of growing your local enterprise? Or rather, would you at some point consider expansion? Are you new to the importation business? What if you have been in the business, but still see things through another person’s eyes? Are you a Customs Broker? Or are you planning to be one in the future?

Whatever stage you are in the importation of goods business, this article will benefit you. So, importers, exporters, shipping agents and freight forwarders certainly have something to gain from this article.

BUSINESS PLAN EXAMPLES: Tell us about yourself, personal bio and what led you to become an entrepreneur (200 words)
I am self-starter who would stop at nothing in identifying unsatisfied desires of the people and transforming same to a profit-making venture for me and others who work with me while serving the target people. Among the times I have seized opportunities are: first, when I setup a bookshop in front of a secondary school close to my house. Second, when I ran a telecom call centre in the year 2000 in front of my hostel and other locations, at the spread of GSM in Nigeria. Thirdly, when I setup a popcorn production shop near a market square.

This inborn tendency to change the world for myself and others, coupled with my quest to learn more is the motivating force behind my determination to becoming an entrepreneur. Hence, having excellent Information Technology knowledge and the understanding of the opportunities therein, I decided to build my business in this domain. To enhance my skills, I have embarked on travelling, education, training and certifications including the use of different software platforms and systems. One of the gems I have got in recent time is 3 months entrepreneurship training from the African Management Initiative courtesy of the Nigerian Bank of Industry – BOI.

Aliexpress? Yes, most Nigerians buy goods online from Aliexpress. Many have made mistakes of shipping their goods from China without following approved import procedures in Nigeria. Hence, majority have had their goods seized, and some have spent more than necessary to clear goods. I am writing this article as a freebie to my brothers in Nigeria or abroad, who desire to buy from Aliexpress or any other online means and ship to Nigeria. The article will expose you to a number of must-take import steps shipping from China or any country to Nigeria.

ALIEXPRESS FIRST THING TO DO BEFORE BUYING YOUR GOODS FROM CHINA TO NIGERIA
What item are you importing? First and foremost, you have to check if your item can be sent via courier. If not, is absolutely necessary that you have a Tax Identifier Number – TIN. To acquire a TIN, you must either have a company of your own or use someone else’s. Individual tax payers can also have a personal TIN. Do the following to register your company and TIN:

BusinessCustoms Hs Codes Nigeria: How To Find Hs Codes by clearant(op): 6:57pm On Sep 30, 2018
Do you know that with the Customs HS Codes Nigeria, you could determine what agency certificate is needed for your import? Yes, this is a secret I want to share with you. First of all, why is this important? Sometimes, it may be extremely difficult to determine whether it is NAFDAC Import Permit or a SONCAP or even a NAQS permit that is needed to import certain items. This is the experience a client of mine had couple of months ago. Trying to be wiser, he wanted to do all things by himself without our usual services. Behold the importation of Soybeans with HS Code -1201100000 was the problem. If seen as seed, NASC/NAQS Import permits are needed. Otherwise, if seen as food material, NAFDAC Importation Permit is needed for soybeans. This is somewhat dilemma situation here.

BusinessCost Of Clearing Cargo: Example Of Nigeria by clearant(op): 3:04pm On Sep 19, 2018
Cost of clearing has remained a subject of concern to prospective importers. Do you want to import some pieces of machinery? Are you wandering what the overall clearance process could cost? Or could the problem be that of not knowing where to begin? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then this article is for you.

COST OF CLEARING CARGO IN NIGERIA: WHERE TO BEGIN
First of all, you must begin well to avoid making costly mistakes. For instance, some persons ship items without consultation, and consequently spend a lot of money thereafter. Take for instance, a person starts his shipping to Nigeria, without following the Form M route required by regulation. The implication of this is that such item(s) would have to be cleared on the basis of direct assessment with more cost implications.

To be on the safest side is to consult a cargo clearance vendor from the onset. The clearance vendor is an expert in the import and export business. So, involve the vendor from the very beginning of the import business.

BusinessSuccessful Online Business Dti Cafe In Nigeria by clearant(op): 8:06pm On Sep 14, 2018
Successful online business is not usually complex to learn and setup. Though, the idea of starting business online still scares many. Successful online business like blogging e-trading and online shopping still sound so distant to many. Often time, the question is ‘how do I earn money?’ I could remember a friend asking me what really is blogging? It pains me so much to see that many have not availed themselves of the opportunities offered by the ever-increasing world of internet. In this article we will discuss how to run a successful online business in Nigeria for example. The article will focus on establishment of a DTI café in Nigeria.

SUCCESSFUL ONLINE BUSINESS IN NIGERIA: DTI CAFÉ
For purposes of definition, DTI café is a privately owned company that carries out electronic services for transporters and importers in the logistics business. Their primary functions are mainly to monitor manifests and declarations. However, the DTI of today has gone beyond mere electronics goods declaration to full blown documentation company with high profit potential. Most DTI companies I know are into all sorts of documentation and reports generation. The work of DTI cafes are becoming really important in the import and export value chain.

BusinessLogistics Company: Ease Of Doing Business In Nigeria by clearant(op): 3:05pm On Aug 22, 2018
Logistics Company could be defined as any company that applies logic in solving problems associated with movement. Such transportation could be of raw materials, finished or semi-finished goods, people, inventory and even services. International logistics involves such movement across country boarders. This places ports (seaports and airports) at the heart of international logistics trade. In fact, it is said that ‘ports around the world, 80% of global trade by volume and over 70% of global trade by value are carried by sea and are handled by ports worldwide.’ My reason for writing this article is to let you know that ports operations and practices are changing for better in Nigeria. So, whatever experiences you or your logistics company had in the past, the executive order by the federal government of Nigeria on ease of doing business is enabling things for the better.....

BusinessCustoms Clearance: Nesrea Clearance Permit by clearant(op): 1:32am On Aug 20, 2018
Customs Clearance; virtually all products imported into the Nigerian territory are regulated under the SONCAP programme, and would have to undergo a two-step certification for SON Product Certificate and SONCAP Certificate respectively. However, a few items listed below are exempted from this programme, and are therefore treated differently. To do Customs clearance, importers of such goods or products would have to obtain either a NESREA Clearance Permit or SON Import Permit, or even NAFDAC Permit. This article shall deal heavily on NESREA Environmental Clearance Permit. I will treat Import Permit and NAFDAC Permit as Customs clearance certifications in a separate article.

BusinessImportation Licence: Regulatory Agencies Nigeria by clearant(op): 7:56pm On Aug 15, 2018
Many people make the mistake of thinking there is a generic importation licence that covers all items into a country. This is not true. The term importation licence is rather vague and broad. The question of what agency regulates the goods you want to import should rather be of more concern to you. The importation licence for bringing in wild animal is different from that used to bring machine spare parts. The licence used to import refurbished items from one country to another differs from that used to export new items. These articles will give a list of regulatory agencies in Nigeria and the importation licences the cover.

WHAT IMPORTATION LICENCE DO I NEED?
If we were to consult for you at Vagmon Integrated Services, we would first of all ask you another question before answering this one. The question is this; what do you want to import? What you want to import determine the importation licence required of you by the Nigerian Custom. Do you want to bring seeds from outside the country? Or do you want to import oil and gas related equipment? Whatever is the item, there is an importation licence that covers it. Let us look at the licences and the agencies that give each one.

REGULATORY AGENCIES IN NIGERIA:
The Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON): the SON is a foremost agency when it comes to importation into Nigeria. Through its SONCAP programme, the SON is able to issue import licences to importers of various category. Virtually all items brought from other countries are SON regulated, and must comply with the SONCAP arrangement. The importation Licences issued by the Standard Organisation of Nigeria includes the Product Certificate/SONCAP, the Import Permit, SONCAP default, MANCAP, etc. for details on SON importation Licence, please read here:
