Sir, there's no way you won't spend almost N150,000 to raise your bank charges, so my advice is that you leave it the way it is. If the BOL indicates that it was accidented,does it reflect in the BOL amongst the custom documents?

As long as the documents are genuine like you stated, tell your dealer to send his agent's mobile contacts and let him defend his job whenever you're stopped on the highway,if he/she is good in what they do and anytime you're stopped, be confident and don't flinch even under the threat of impound, stand in between politeness and aggressiveness but dont overdo the agressive part, it works most times....

ir, my first advice that will be offered is this,CHECK THE AUTHENTICITY OF YOUR PAPERS AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE NO LAPSES. You didn't state when the car was shipped into NIGERIA and when the papers were processed or where it was bought from. Also,accidents are rated as "salvage airbags deployed" or "chassis affected" and it's always stated in the bill of lading which means the BOL that was used to bring the car into Nigeria didn't state that or the original BOL wasn't used for declaration which makes it a false declaration,you can't meet custom officers and say dealer XYZ sold the car for N500,000 because it was accidented, they will certainly ask for proof and the only way to proove is with the papers that were used to ship the car into Nigeria..

Two,the papers you've with you were shortpaid and coming from a dealer, I'm not sure if there was no hanky-panky, he'll have called his agent to help you out or even told you to stand your ground... Bank charges for 08 accord is around N200,000 - N220,000,they saw the payment and decided to prey on you,your dealer could've done you a great deed if he has an agent that can defend that payment,a good agent wouldve looked for says of defending the N160,000 payment but MAKE SURE YOU RUN CHECKS ON YOUR DOCUMENTS...

what is is bogus in paying import duty for freight and vehicles coming into your country, so are you saying that people should just import into anything they wish into NIGERIA free of charge or are you in support of smuggling vehicles into NIGERIA,kindly educate us and let is know any country in this world that doesn't charge import duty/tax...

Republic of Benin that isn't even up to two states in Nigeria charges custom duties even for bikes and you see the custom officers stop bikes ad cars on the road, what some cars even pay for duty and registration is up to N350,000..So what's bogus in paying customs duty?.... So a smuggled car should be allowed to go scotfree just because you see the process of paying duty as bogus?

Why would custom officers extort a vehicle owner when he has original duty papers with him/her. I had an instance where I processed duty papers for a client travelling down to bayelsa and when he got to patani,he was stopped and the papers where checked, the officer told him to pay N50,000 or the bus will be towed down to their office and the man had to call me, the first question I asked the officer was if he papers were fake and he said he checked from the assycuda unit and they were original but shortpaid. I was like, are you a valuation officer or what, call your valuation office and check from them and I told my client not to give them money but insist that the tow the vehicle into their office, to cut the long story short, they started begging him to at least drop something for them and even told me over the phone that Oga should wash the for them, the man later gave them N1,000 and left...

It's just like a policeman trying to extort you and if you give him/her the opportunity,he'll get away with it. If you've original duty papers with you and they value wasn't shirtwaist, you don't need to be scared of extortion or impound...
