On the document I have it says port of Entry was Tincan, Apapa , Duty paid 177,910

Please let me know of what it may cost to carry out remedial action. I am just confused

BREAKING: Ali arrives n’assembly, holds private meeting with Saraki


Senate President Bukola Saraki is at present meeting with Hameed Ali, comptroller-general of the Nigeria customs service (NCS), in his office at the national assembly complex.

Ali arrived at the senate wing of the national assembly complex a few minutes before 6pm.

This is coming a few hours after the senate reaffirmed its resolution to summon him over the customs’ planned seizure of vehicles without paid duty.

The senate had asked him to appear before it in a customs uniform. But Ali wrote to the senate president, saying he was still seeking legal advice on the matter.

He also said he would not be available on Wednesday because he is bereaved. But TheCable learnt that President Muhammadu Buhari had directed him to answer to the summons.

(b) to dismiss and exercise other disciplinary control over persons appointed pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection.

(3) If the Board thinks it expedient that any vacancy in the staff of the Service should be filled by a person holding office in the civil service of the Federation or of a State, it shall notify the appropriate Civil Service Commission to that effect and thereafter the Board may, by arrangement with the Civil Service Commission concerned, cause such
vacancy to be filled by way of secondment or transfer.

(4) Where a person is seconded under subsection (3) of this section, he shall be notitied of the terms and conditions of the secondment, and the secondment shall be without prejudice to any pension rights which but for the secondment would still accrue to him.

(5) A person seconded pursuant to subsection (3) of this section may elect, subject to the approval of the Board, to be transferred to the Service.

(6) A member of staff of the Service may elect to be transferred or seconded to any other civil service in the Federation and such right of transfer or secondment shall not operate.

**** PLEASE NOTE THAT AS AT THAT TIME OF ALLI'S APPOINTMENT IN AUGUST 2015, THERE WAS NO SITTING MINISTER OF FINANCE.

TO CUT THE STORY SHORT, THE CUSTOMS AND EXCISE LAW IS EXPLICIT ON THE APPOINTMENT OF A COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF CUSTOMS BY STATING THAT THE APPOINTMENT MUST BE DONE FROM OFFICERS SERVING IN NIGERIAN CUSTOMS.

AS ALSO SEEN FROM THE PICTURES BELOW, APPOINTMENTS WERE MADE OUTSIDE THE SERVICE BUT THEY WERE KNOWN AS " DIRECTOR OF SERVICE" OR " SOLE ADMINISTRATOR OF CUSTOMS".

BRIGADIER GENERAL SAMUEL ANGO WAS ALSO FROM THE MILITARY WHEN HE HEAD CUSTOMS BUT HE WAS CALLED A SOLE ADMINISTRATOR.

***** KINDLY NOTE THE DIFFERENCE :-

A COMPTROLLER GENERAL IS EXPECTED TO WEAR A UNIFORM BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN ASSUMED THAT HE ROSE THROUGH THE RANKS.

A " DIRECTOR OF SERVICE " OR " SOLE ADMINISTRATOR " IS NOT EXPECTED TO PUT ON A UNIFORM BECAUSE HE CAME FROM ANOTHER SERVICE OR HE IS A CIVILIAN.

***** HAMED ALLI SHOULD HAVE BEEN APPOINTED AS A SOLE ADMINISTRATOR, WHICH MAKES HIM SUBJECT TO THE PRESIDENT ALONE AND DOESN'T TRANSLATE TO PUTTING ON A UNIFORM.

The Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, Hameed Ali, has written the Senate, notifying the lawmakers he will not appear before them on Wednesday as expected. ‎

In its resolution, the Senate said Mr. Ali must appear in appropriate Customs uniform which he has not been publicly seen to have worn.
He had hit back at the Senate, asking the lawmakers to show interest in his work not his dress.
In his letter, he said he had to attend an NCS meeting; but the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawann said that reason was not tenable.

More to come.

As we await the outcome of the CG and Senate parley, let's also take time out to run checks on our papers to see if we are safe from seizure and harassment from customs.

/******/* PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE'S A BAN ON VEHICLE IMPORTATION THROUGH THE LAND BORDERS PRESENTLY AND THERE'S NOTHING LIKE LAGOS DUTY FOR COTONOU CARS. THE CURRENT REGISTERATION IS FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN NIGERIA. THAT'S WHY CUSTOMS ARE DEMANDING FOR PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS AND PROOF OF REGISTRATION.

IF ANYONE CLAIMS HE CAN PROCESS LAGOS PAPERS FOR COTONOU CARS,KNOW THAT IT'S A SCAM. THEY'RE SMUGGLING ACROSS THE BORDER.

VEHICLES IMPORTED FROM 2015 DOWNWARDS ARE SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATIONS.

BEING UPDATE OF GRACE PERIOD FOR AUTO DUTY PAYMENT BY AC JOSEPH ATTAH, NCS Ag. PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER ON WEDNESDAY 8TH MARCH, 2017

Gentlemen of the Press.

In response to public complains and suggestions, the Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd) has approved the adjustment of points of payment and 60% rebate across board from 2015 downward to ease the process and encourage all motor dealers in position of uncustomed vehicles to come forward and pay duty.

2. While the grace period remains Monday 13th March to Wednesday 12th April, the points of payments with the exception of Lagos and Port Harcourt will now be the nearest Customs Area Command.

3. Motor dealers in Lagos are to pay their duties at Zone ‘A’ Headquarters, No. 1 Harvey Road, Yaba and Federal Operations Unit, Zone ‘A’, Ikeja. While in Port Harcourt, auto duty payment will be at Zone ‘C’ Headquarters, Nigeria Ports Authority.

4. In the same vein, private vehicle owners who know that duty has not been paid on their vehicles could take advantage of this grace period to do so, therefore owners of such vehicles or their representatives are expected to go to the nearest pay-point for assessment and payment. It should however be noted that the 60% rebate applies only within the grace period.

5. For the avoidance of doubt, the decision to grant a grace period for auto duty payment was not a sudden and arbitrary one, but a product of consultations and long standing engagement with Leadership of Association of Motor Dealers of Nigeria (AMDON) who pleaded for a “window” to pay duty on all uncustomed vehicles within the Country before the ban on vehicle importation through land borders.

6. Note worthy also is the ongoing collaboration with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) and Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in the Vehicles Identification Number (VIN) Project which is another bold step by the Service to boost revenue and enhance national security. The benefit of this collaboration is that those who do not pay duty on their vehicles will not be able to obtain licence and register them in Nigeria. We believe that when all vehicles are properly registered and owners’ identities tied to them, National Security will be enhanced.

7. While expecting Motor dealers and indeed private owners of smuggled vehicles within the Country to use this grace period to pay duty, it should be noted that the Service will intensify its statutory functions of anti-smuggling operation with a view to seizing and prosecuting owners of uncustomed vehicles and other goods.

**** JELAD VENTURES HAD A MEETING WITH CUSTOMS JUST NOW AND THEY'RE DEMANDING FOR PHYICAL CHECKS ON VEHICLES BEFORE THEY CAN BE REGISTERED. TO SAVE COST AND TIME, AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED THAT PHYSICAL INSPECTIONS CAN BE DONE IN ANY OTHER PLACE APART FROM THEIR OFFICE PREMISES AND NEGOTIATIONS ARE PERMITTED AS LONG AS PAYMENT MEETS THEIR REQUIREMENTS,VEHICLES MUST ALSO BE WITHIN LAGOS WHILE VEHICLES OUTSIDE LAGOS MUST PRODUCE VEHICLE REGISTRATION PAPERS,THANKS.

***///// IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A PHYSICAL INSPECTION WILL PAY THE IMPORTERS/END USERS. IF A PHYSICAL INSPECTION IS CARRIED OUT, YOU CAN TIE WHATEVER THAT HAPPENS AFTER THE INSPECTION AND PAYMENT TO THE OFFICERS THAT DID THE INSPECTION.

saintjoel:
Sequel to this, the 60% rebate is still been worked on and we'll have updates soon. The rebate needs to be worked on so that we don't fall short and also take importers out of the frying pan only to land them inside fire.

Updates on the 60% rebate will be posted soon.

*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A POSSIBILITY OF CUSTOMS DEMANDING FOR PHYICAL CHECKS OF VEHICLES AND REGISTRATION PAPERS. THIS IS TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BRINGING IN FRESH VEHICLES IN THROUGH THE BORDER LIKE SOME ARE BUSY ADVERTISING ON NAIRALAND AND SOME OTHER BLOGS/WEBSITES.

LAND BORDERS STILL REMAIN SHUT TILL FURTHER NOTICE. ANYONE TRYING TO IMPORT WITH CLAIMS OF "LAGOS PAPERS" FOR COTONOU CARS IS A SCAMMER.

etenyong:
Pls someone should enlighten me more on this. I have a car I bought from someone with all the papers but I was not given custom paper. What am I expected to do? Do I need to go and get custom papers. Pls am I to get custom papers? Pls help me

Flooerin:
I've read all comments so far but nobody has talked about loss of document. How do you verify a car that the documents can not be found? From the directive, any clean looking car can be stopped and checked even if the car is older than 7 years in Nigeria. The policy is just not thorough in its application. This policy can only work on new cars. The C-number is not authentic enough as a basis for checking. I've seen incorrect imputation of VIN on custom paper and if such go for a check, the result will be invalid.
Customs should also be divested from the border for they are the main culprit when it comes to smuggling.
A vehicle that have changed owner 3 or 4 times only for custom to come up with this, who pays the duty?
Abeg they should just cool down. Mbok.
