Good day.
Thank you, but I have meanwhile already given it to a clearing agent to avoid demurrage.
Forwarder said it takes average one week to prepare everything in Lagos and I should not delay because truck + Camry are already arriving now.

Regards
Dieter

Good day.

>>> MONEYFLO

The truck dealer I got referred by the forwarder in Germany.
I bought the truck in Minnesote from MANDERS DIESEL, Mr. JOE.
He is difficult to reach but google their homepage and try to call.
Good luck
I think that should answer your question.

>>> PROMISE72

Good evening PROMISE.
I dont quite get you.
For me the deal is through and went well. I dont know whether I was just lucky or why it all worked out.
This forum for sure gave some very usefull tips. However I can not vouch for anyone or anything.

>>> tristar

Good evening.
It was a forwarder from Germany, that was recommended to me by my brother there.
He is shipping trucks with them from Antwerp and Hamburg port to Naija.
His name is Mr. PHILIP of Overseas Forwarding Company.
They have office in USA and (maybe by coincidence) it was same forwarder that my truck dealer where I bought the MACK sent me.
For me, it all worked well with truck and camry, although I was not allowed to load the camry onto the dumpster as planned.
But please, dont drag me if anything happen to you, ohh. Which I do not hope, ohh!
I have a second truck now already and I am shopping small about shipment.
Maybe I use them again if I do not get better rate.
regards
Dieter

>>> FLORIDA CAR

Thank you Floridacar, much appreciated.
I am not happy with this OCEANEMS and will not bother to continue with them.
It already looks like Wahalla, is far more expensive, no "best" rates in the market as the man wrote and I do not want to lose my hard earned money.
I can only say: be carefull, ohh!

Thank you
D.

>>> Mr. VAUPRES

Dear Mr. Vaupres, good day. Please help me with this one.
I have contacted your Ms AMY here in US as you said.
But no sharp or best price in the market from her as you said and lured.

My truck is only small 47cbm.
Amy she quote me 5487,01 $116.00 per cbm with ACL and $6095,27 which is $128.00 for hoegh autoliners which is far tooo much ohh! I can not spend that much.
I paid $ 106.50 for my last truck last time which is only 2 weeks ago how can you quote so high please? Please talk to her.
She as well say I can not pay in locally in Africa as you have said in BN. I must pay everything even before receiving of my truck at the port in USA. Other people at least receive truck before they ask customer for money
What is this please This is not good and not what you write here!!

>>> SULTAAN

Good morning & thank you for the customs homepage information.
It is much appreciated and I will try it out.

>>> PROMISE72 & all

In general this forum has helped & assisted me a lot in enabling me move my first truck and my car from the States to Naija and I have found good dealer and forwarder. So, thank you very much to everyone who has assisted and contributed.

Best regards and wishing it may work just as well for you/everyone.

Best regards
Dieter

>>> MAGNATE02

Just see your question in your copied text now, sorry.
But didn't I answer the price already - you read my message.

Price was $ 106,50 per cbm.
My truck was measured when it went to the port and by those measurements I was billed $ 106,50 X 48 CBM = $ 5.110,-- (the truck actually turned out to be smaller than the dimensions I had). So be aware that it can work "the other way around" as well! Trying to trick on the dimensions obviously will not help and will not make it cheaper I think.
The price included everything as far as I can see. Customs, Documentation, freight, handling and whatever those abreviations BAF,CAF,CGS etc mean. But I could live with the price and did not need to pay anything on collect in Lagos anymore where I will collect my BL hopefully soonest.
My Camry is as well moving and the Camry went for $ 1.450,--

How much it will exactly be for clearing in Naija I do not know.
I think it will depend a lot on an honest! clearing agent,
But Naija duty should be 5% as I learn, plus VAT.
So make your own calculation please

I hope this clarifies your questions?!
Regards
Dieter

Thank you,
but I have meanwhile shipped my truck slightly cheaper than your rate.
Regards
Dieter

>>> PROMISE 72

Sorry, I forgot.
Shipping line is called Grimaldi Atlantic Container Lines, but truck does not go inside container!
My car as well will not be loaded in a container. It all goes Roll on Roll off. So the name is a little "funny".

They say it takes between 17-20 days to arrive Lagos after shipment, depending on where the ship goes next from Jacksonville. Either direct to TinCan or still to 2-3 other American ports. But the truck will not change ship on his way to Naija.
I can as well ship out of New York, New Jersey and Baltimore they say and for trucks I can pay in Lagos.
So next time I will look up there in the North. But now it is too cold up there and Christmas is coming anyhow.

Regards
Dieter

Good afternoon to e/one.

>>> SULTAAN

Thank you indeed for your feedback.
I like to somehow to pre- and double-check what the clearing agent will tell us.
However, I rather go by what is legal. We are no 419er.

>>> PROMISE 72

The Forwarder from Germany, respectively their office here in US say they measured the truck after they had received it and it turned out to be smaller than the dealer where I bought it had said. The price therefore obviously appears to go by volume! I now pay $106.50 per CBM. Luckily now I do not have to pay anymore balance for my truck and neither my Camry in Lagos "collect". What they say they actually do only for truck shipments, but not for car shipment.

So finally I can somehow now recommend them. At least on my first shipment so far.
If you want to know the dealer name where I got the truck sent me eMail and I will reply you.

Regards to the Westcoast.

>>> SIMARCO

Good day. I can tell you some (friendly) used MACK dealers in the USA.
I just bought one and a CAMRY, went through all the Wahalla and I am shipping it now.
But it worked out :-)

REMINDER, please

>>> @ ADEXFEM
I now need your estimate for clearing on MACK + CAMRY TOYOTA, please.
Are you interested??
Greetings
DIETER

>>> ADEXFEM

Good day to ADEXFEM.
My truck shall arrive at Tincan by 2nd half December.
Can you please give me estimate on how much clearing + duty will cost total.
And please advise what you need in documents.

Thank you.
Dieter

>>> @ PROMISE 72

Good afternoon. Dear Promise,
just for your information or anybody else who might be interested in it.
And in order not to say that I am keeping the info to myself again ;-)

My CAMRY is now moving to Lagos as well. Badly I had no choice. The forwarder would not let me load it onto my dumpster as I had thought. They say it is US law that prohibits it. However from Europe it is done I know that, because my friend is doing it from Germany all the time.

My MACK now cost me US$ 6250.00
The CAMRY US$ 1450.00
So total is 7700.00
As I did not have enough dollar with me, they finally agreed that I can pay the balance locally. I am quite happy about that because now my things are moving.

Our truck my brother will use in Naija. I do not want to sell it, sorry :-)
But I met some nice truck dealers and it looks to be an interesting field, many Africans there. And all are buying MACK truck.

OK, I hope I did not forget anything. I am sending best regards to California. Thanks very much for all your help.
I appreciate it. Thank you!
Regards
DIETER

>>> TAYO-D

Dear Tayo,
good day. I have just come back from Minnesota and met some local truck dealer who is moving my truck together with somebody else's truck from Minnesota to the USA Eastcoast for shipment to Naija.

Send me an eMail to my address and I will forward it to him.
He can then contact you directly, if he wanted to, because I do not know whether he would appreciate his contact details to be posted here openly online on the net. He should rather post them here himself if he liked.

But maybe he can haul you vehicle together with his trucks. That might become cheaper for you?!
Best regards
Dieter

>>> PROMISE72

Good morning to California. I hope all is well.
I do not have problem sharing their name, which is AFL/OVERSEAS FORWARDING (see: www.overseas-forwarding.de) located in Hamburg, Germany and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA.
But as I said my own personal experience with them is only few days old and logically still small.
So far it has been very fine, just as my truck dealer recommended.

The "dock receipt" that you mentioned, was issued within 5-6 hours after I had faxed them copies of my documents and dealer informed them dimensions and weight of my "baby". The truck has now been moved from their yard to the port terminal yesterday and ship is said to arrive on 22 November.

As I have seen from afar - since I could not go inside, the port was indeed very full with trucks and cars and that is so they say, why they had to receive my truck at their own yard nearby prior to having all documents and check that truck was really in running condition. US port terminals are said to be very full still from the time when the US$ was very low. But Mr. PHILIP the forwarder from Hamburg said that an extra 3rd ship will come in late November with then total 3 ships regularly from USA to Africa to take all trucks waiting in US directly to Naija in 18 day journeys only.
So let's see that ship is on time and then I can report you more - which I will certainly do.

Only question now is what I do with my Camry, ohh.
Best regards and wishing you a nice weekend.
Dieter

>>> PROMISE72 / ADEXFEM

Good evening & apologies for delay in reverting.
Thanks the advice once again, much appreciated and it prooved to be fully correct.

However the dealer has recommended me to a German forwarder with own office & truck receiving yard here in the US.
Booking, customs registration and dock receipt were issued within 6 hours.
As their rate was cheaper than the others, respectively they had space and a sailing - which Shipping International did not have and DESMOND did not reply at all, I contracted with them. Finally I found out that my friend in Germany is shipping with them from Europe, so I do feel confident.
Lets see how it will work out.
Only thing I am not happy about is that they say I can not load anything onto my truck, as I have 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY here as well now and I wanted to load it onto the dumpster.

Best regards
DIETER

Good day.
Thanks all the advice from all participants, once again.

>>> PROMISE72:
I am in Miami right now for some cars.
For my truck a friend from Germany had told me that there is shipment from Jacksonville to Lagos, because it is a truck it should go Rollon Rolloff. So I arranged with the dealer to deliver it to the port. It is in running condition!

I will see what to get out of the contacts given here and report accordingly.
I attach a picture of the truck at the dealer's place.
Best regards to California.
