There's a lot of connivance between Nigeria Customs Service Officials and agents. Most times, agents pay just a fraction of what they charged the importer or car owner as duty. This amount paid represents what the NCS officials have agreed with agents as being sufficient for the particular year model and another percentage of the money is shared between them.

From a personal experience, the major reason clearing of cars is shrouded in secrecy is the level of kickbacks in the process for which the agents & NCS officials benefit hugely from.

Sometime last year, I sought to know if I could clear my car by myself; the reality is NCS official in collaboration with Agents will frustrate your effort to achieve this.

The question is; why is it difficult for an importer to walk into the NCS formation to obtain the cost of of clearing his/her consignment without the need for a middleman?

You can clear your goods or vehicles yourself, if you can go through the stress and you understand how it works. That's what I've been trying to clear, nothing stops you from going into a DTI to capture and obtaining values yourself, i've had instances that clients will tell me that they prefer doing things themselves and I allow them,as long as you're doing what's right by law and you're not short-changing government. There are even times that I tabulate the fees and how it'll be spent for clients and since I don't have anything to hide, why will I stop you the importer from knowing what's going on.

Only agents that have things to hide will tell you that you wouldn't be allowed to go around with them. If youre ready to pay my service charge,why won't I take you around to process the papers, at least it's not my car or container.

EgunMogaji:
You quoted me, so the onus is on me to reply to you and I will always reply.

I know it hurts you but you'll work through it,

Hurts me, can't stop laughing.

EgunMogaji:
How is that of any business of mine what you choose to do?

You still don't get it. All your rants are wasted on people like me. I'm not in the demographics of people that you can fleece.

You're an inconsequential tick on the system.

Then stop replying and do what I call a " waka pass".

EgunMogaji:
Yes, great people of real ideology are discussing ways to treat the rut that people like you feast on. I can understand why you're threatened and have to lash out though.

You're part of the parasites that are feasting on Nigerians.

Spaces are still available, you can still join the feast. At least I've a job, it's still better than been a kidnapper or armed robber.

ikeepitreal:
Enough of this, you guys.
You two can always voice out your opinions but remember that it has no bearing on the corrupt system.
i suggest you end this argument and earnestly mind your businesses.

Don't mind him, we're all searching for ways to stop government from exploiting us as Nigerians and he's ranting about how he resides in a 2 by 5 cubicle abroad.

I'm so sorry for what I've been typing and I hope that the apology is accepted.

EgunMogaji:
Like I told you before, you're pissing against the wind. There's nothing that you type that is of any worth to me.

Again, you're inconsequential and I'm not in your demograohics. I just don't care nearly enough about grown men that are parading around as if they are performing world saving duties. When primary six students can calculate duites due and make an electronic transfer based on it.

You're about as useful to me as a soda pop top.

So why do you keep replying me. Stop ranting like you're the first person in Ibadan that has ever travelled abroad. We also travel and we don't brag about it.

EgunMogaji:
It begs to ask why you quoted me since I'm inconsequential?

If your profession disappears from the country today, the country will still run. You're not only inconsequential to me but to almost all Nigerians.

And I think you and your ilk know this and why you are all up in arms. You're a dying breed because you offer no societal value.

EgunMogaji:

Wow, I didnt know that you're actually keeping tabs in how long agents will last, it's so nice.

For your info, importation was stopped at the border and till now no agent has been unable to feed his or her family. Imports have dropped in the ports, we're still moving on. I run a licensed agency and a DTI, even if agents and banned from the ports today, I'll still make my money before you can move your goods, unless ETLS is scrapped throughout the world. Incase you'll like to know, I am a graduate with a degree in Economics (LASu 2005), Diploma in Computer science (OOU 1997), CNNA certified with a Masters in Business Administration (LASU 2014) and I also run a company that helps a local government raise IGR through market permits and I also have farm which contains a piggery, poultry,a cassava and banana section,so to hell with anybody that says agents are dying breeds, na soldier go and soldier come. As long as agents are still working,i will defend what I do.

Abeg, Na Sunday evening be this,make I find something better to do.

EgunMogaji:
Most of this Baba Lati agents are nothing but parasites on the system. Most, not all.

Before I left Nigeria in the 80's when she was still good, agents were educated and represented clients.

Now what we seemingly have are mostly frustrated unemployed misfits parading around as agents.

You won't be able to clear on your own because they'll frustrate you.

This is why I posted earlier about the US table and someone else posted about Ghana.

Calculating and paying your duties should be a simple process that even a primary 6 student can do.

Now you have the Nigerian system where they throw in mostly ineffectual shysters.

The hunger is real.

I still don't know why you all keep ranting about agents,as if we were the ones that formulated the policies. You as an agent will collect N7.5m for a job, customs will tell you to pay N5m+ as bank payment and you will still spread almost N2. something plus as table money, yet people will not complain. It's only agent this, agents that.

As at 2015 before the policies were implemented, the agent body went on strike to protest that high handedness of government and customs, was it not the importer's themselves that forced them back to work when they started complain that the goods and vehicles were stranded in the ports and land borders. If they has allowed agents to go on with the strike, will they be complaining right now.

EgunMogaji:
I didn't quote you, you quoted me. See, based on your signature you're inconsequential to me .

Me not being in your personal demographics doesn't make me ineligible to participate in my country's affair and I don't need your permission.

The way you write shows that you're part of the corrupt shithole system.

You're also inconsequential to me. I've a job ,which coupled with a farm brings food to my table and i've defended what I do to the best of my ability. I've been clearing vehicles and general cargo for more than six years,so I'm not a baby when it comes to clearing and forwarding . You don't also need my permission before you contribute to any discussion or discussions on Nairaland,at least you're not using my phone neither have I loaned you data. As long as there's a provision in the law that states that agents can go about their lawful duties in the ports or land borders and you can't also come down to Nigeria to carry a placard or start a movement that will change government policies, you're so inconsequential to me.

EgunMogaji:
You ought to be directing your questions/teachings to the OP as I'm not within your demographics.

No interest at all. None.

"
You ought to be directing your questions/teachings to the OP as I'm not within your demographics" . Which means that you can't also tell me that whatever I've written is nonsense or neither do you need to argue with me or anyone else since you're not in our "demography". Leave the " hunger stricken people " to operate their "clusterfuck " system.

EgunMogaji:
Despite all the nonsense that you wrote , normal citizens do pay the duties on importation without an agent which is the point of my post.

Yes if you're a company then I suppose you'll need an agent.

The hunger in Nigeria just creates a feasting orgy for all sorts of delinquent professions.

One questions that I'll like to ask is this, have you ever gone to a Nigerian port to clear your vehicle yourself and you weren't allowed to do it?

EgunMogaji:
This is US, as an example of a country that wants to promote trade. No agent, no brouhaha.

https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/importing-car

Hope you didnt miss this section :-


"Law prohibits CBP officers from acting as agents or making entries for an importer. However, you may employ a commercial CBP broker to handle your entry". Which means that there are custom brokers that can handle your jobs at the ports and airports in America, if you decide to use their services but you made it seem like that there are no agents at all in the U. S.

EgunMogaji:

https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/importing-car

The reason why you people still think that it's agents you must have beefs with still baffles me and you make it seem as of Nigeria is the only place that we've licensed customs brokers. There's no section in the Nigerian constitution that stops an average Nigerian from becoming licensed as an agent, if you even have around N20m - N30m to spare, you can even setup a DTI, no problem with that. You can also clear your goods and vehicles yourself without the help of any agent in Nigeria,if you can go through the rigors or do you think that many of us make too much money from it that we don't want to leave it if we get better opportunities, do you know how many weeks we stay at home when we don't have jobs to process.

And before you go on with the " there are no custom agents/broker in America" , why is there a " NATIONAL CUSTOMS BROKERS AND FORWARDERS ASSOCIATION" with their head office at 1200 18th NW#901 Washington DC 20036 .


Headquartered in Washington, DC, the NCBFAA represents more than 970 member companies with 110,000 employees in international trade - the nation's leading freight forwarders, customs brokers, ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs), NVOCCs and air cargo agents, serving more than 250,000 importers and exporters. Established in 1897 in New York, NCBFAA is the effective national voice of the industry. Through its various committees, counsel and representatives, the Association maintains a close watch over legislative and regulatory issues that affect its members. It keeps them informed of these and other related issues through its weekly Monday Morning eBriefing, and various meetings and conferences throughout the year.

We clear all types of cargoes (vehicles, heavy duty equipment, bulk and general cargo), Form M and Pre Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) documentation etc.

PILOT TRAINING: NAF TAKES DELIVERY OF FIRST BATCH OF SUPER MUSHSHAK AIRCRAFT

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) today took delivery of the first batch of 5 out of 10 Super Mushshak aircraft being expected from Pakistan. The first batch of the trainer aircraft, which is for the primary flying training of NAF pilots at 401 Flying Training School, Kaduna, was received on arrival by the Air Officer Commanding Air Training Command, Air Vice Marshal Chris Okoye.

It would be recalled that the NAF inducted the Super Mushshak aircraft into the NAF inventory on 5 December 2016. This followed the kind gesture of the Pakistan Government to temporarily make 4 Super Mushshak aircraft of the Pakistan Air Force available to the NAF, at no cost, to immediately commence the training of NAF pilots. Since then, the in-house training of NAF pilots had resumed in earnest. With the arrival of the first batch of the NAF's trainer aircraft, the local training of NAF student pilots will receive a boost at a much reduced cost. The new aircraft will soon be inducted into service after assembly and successful test flights.

Thank you for your quick response. So it is still only Jaiz bank that is the only participating bank?

Other banks are still in the process of connecting to the platform but for now, it's only jail bank.

agabusta:
Please do you have information if the money has to be in your e-wallet before you can successfully place a bid, or you can bid even if you dont enough cash in your e-wallet but expected to fund it pay within 5 working days.

Thanks.

We haven't been able to get sources from jaiz bank to help with questions but I think your wallet must be recharged before you can place orders.

Oga mi, wetin we go do na. Hustling continues. God help us!

Na so Baba, at least they'll see that we have not been robbing them. We are just honest day to day people hustling to put food on our table.

sheffyUTD:
1.5m sir

official surface duty is 1.3m. With table money, we can get between 700k - 900k. The lesser the value, the more the table flow. Budget 250k - 350k
Agency and service charge 100k
Shipping and terminal 85k.

Nice, that's so nice.

Oga, I provide clearing service, I am neither CG of customs nor Minister of Finance. Please forward your complain to the right place. We as agents body have been fighting it, join us.

If you do not wish to educate us then let it be. Cartalk forum which I moderate was set up solely for educating one another on issues bordering on cars.

Have a wonderful day.

SheffyUTD was also doing a nice job on it and to have also done the same thing would've muddled things up but I hope everything is now clear sir.

Marpol:
Thanks for the clarification. I never said your are shady. I don't even know if you are an agent! Am only speaking from experience based on what I have gone through.

Thanks for your input once again.

SheffyUTD and I have consulted each other and in order for your apology to be accepted, you're going to provide the following -


1. 10,000 Gig of data (we don't want GLO sir).

2. 2 crates of beer (incase SheffyUTD needs it)


3. 2 crates of malt ( for me).

4. 4 cartons of cabin biscuits.

5. N100,000 cash

6. Two baskets of pepper

7. One basket of tomato

8. Two live cows ( must weight 350KG eat)

9. 2 2017 Benz cars ( Not optional at all)

10. Hmmmmmm, will still think about it.

Thanks.

sheffyUTD:
Thank you for this sir. So much unawareness.

What they don't even know is that you have to wait for months before your papers come out and it's so bad that you see them going around with temporary plate numbers,that's how expensive it is. The 500,000 Cefa is just for vehicles in transit.
