Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria 2021… 

Its no longer news that Nigeria still does not manufacture cars (except for a few cases where we hear of cars being assembled in Nigeria).

Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria

This post will list out the current cost of clearing cars in Nigeria Tin can port, Cotonou (Seme Border), Apapa Port and other ports to deliver them to a client in Nigeria. Charges such as Nigerian custom duty charge on imported cars, port charges and clearing agent charges will also need to be paid for this to be successfully carried out.

As of last year, the system by which the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) charges for clearing cars changed. Instead of charging according to year of manufacture, they now charge according to the cost of the car, which is determined by them.

The charge is 35% of whatever you paid for the used vehicle and an additional levy of 35% for brand new cars (making it 70% of what you paid for brand new cars). So assuming you bought a used car for N2 million, you will spend (35% of 2m) as Surface Duty to Clear

These price can be brought down if you can find a good clearing agent. Some agents gave us the estimated cost of clearing some cars manufactured in the following year:

understandable....

project deferred indefinitely

adanny01:


I concur too

Due to work related unforseen events, the plan delayed indefinitely coupled with my inability to find a 1.3-1.5mm nozzle. The car too has been resting for a long while. I may be sending it to a shop soon. I can't even supervise it in the shop myself.

That's what you thought, but at the time, I had very different thoughts to yours.

Anyways, the car should be out of the paint shop by Friday. Been very busy of late and for the things I planned, you should understand that I had the time to play then but I no longer do. I even committed funds to it and hope to try it once my plate is cleared.

Don't even ask me for pictures cos I am also curious.

I really don't recommend that you paint the car with your own hands. It's better to either find a suitable specialist, or don't paint it at all.
