Gazzuz,its nice that you're also towing this line and like I stated earlier,I'm not trying to poke my nose where it's not needed neither am I trying to form "ITK". Custom duty payment has always been a major issue between licensed agents and importers,our national association led by Alhaji Shittu with officers of the NCS have met times without number to discuss and believe me,even amongst them,it's always a difficult issue that can't be trashed out.

I'll be devoting my weekend to answer issues on some technicalities about custom duty payment on this thread and also on https://www.nairaland.com/2208157/c-number-verification-thread too.
It's better to be safe than to be sorry and GAZZUZZ,well done and more grease to your elbow.

saintjoel:
A nairalander just asked through whatsapp how custom duty is paid and what's the safe limit for payment.

Custom duty is the charges you pay to the federal government of Nigeria through the Nigerian Customs Service and it's set by the Federal ministry of finance. Instead of asking each and every importer how much they bought their vehicles abroad,a assumed dollar value is set and computed into the valuation database and licensed agents help to process it.

About the safe limit,there is an unwritten rule that four years can be shaved off the actual manufacture year of any vehicle but if you can actually afford it,it's better to pay two year less or for the actual year.

Let's use the picture below as samples :


Let's assume that you've a 2009 rav4, the agent can decide to pay N248,224 as bank charges but to be on the safer side and if you can really afford it,it'll pay you as the importer to pay charges set for 2006/ 2007 /2008.....

***** PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TARIFF USED AS A SAMPLE IS OUTDATED AND NOT IN USE AGAIN...

UNDERPAYMENT OR SHORT PAYMENT IS WHEN ANY AGENT CONVINCES YOU TO PAY CHARGES FOR A 2003/04 RAV4 WHEN YOU'VE A 2009 RAV4 AND YOU AGREE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO CHEAT GOVERNMENT.THE DAY YOU MEET F.O.U PATROLS ON THE HIGHWAY,YOU'LL KNOW WHAT PAYING A D.N MEANS AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS.

How much to clear Toyota

lumideed:
Pls, I lost the customs duty of my car. can it be traced thru the reference number on the sticker pasted on the side glass? thank u

osibenaezekiel:
Thank you so much. It was a client of mine who wants to buy a sienna and took the c-number claiming he had someone who will check for him at the computer room of custom. Only for him to come back to say he was told the number is for Nissan frontier. Meanwhile it was cleared through RoRo. It got me confused a bit anyway.

osibenaezekiel:
Hello sir,
My question is that is it possible for an agent to pay duty of another vehicle entirely.
I was about selling a car when they confirmed the c number and I was told it is for Nissan frontier while the vehicle itself is Toyota sienna.

saintjoel:
Have u ever wondered how you can identify fake custom papers?

All you need to check is what we call "CUSTOMS REFERENCE NUMBER" or c-number on your SGD form *single goods declaration form*.

This particular number is actually used to input details of your vehicle and payment of duty into the customs' database. It shows information like the consignee info ( agency handling your job),the means of entry (road for vehicles through land borders and ports for sea),office of entry (idiroko customs command or seme customs command or tincan port),location of vehicle and place of discharge(idiroko border/seme border,tincan),name and address of person/persons responsible for financial settlement (the owner of the vehicle) etc.

What fraudulent dealers do is called MO or machined outside-this is a process where a forger forges the bank receipts and all customs documentation. The documents look genuine but are not in the customs data base. It is a giant syndicate in the ports and borders because the vehicles are ultimately smuggled out of the ports/borders with conivance of fraudulent customs officials.

At the top right hand corner of your document is a very bold set of numbers. This is the "C" number. You can not miss it because it is so bold and prominent. Underneath it is a date. That date is to reflect the date duty was paid at the bank and stored in the customs ASSYCUDA data base. ASSYCUA means "automated system customs data". And the date under the C number means that that C number was computed into the data system on that date plus all the charges paid. If the payment reflects on the data base it means your documents are genuine,on the other hand if it does not reflect it means your car documents are duds/fake and your vehicle is liable to seizure and confiscation if you are stopped at any check point,if you are on a long distance journey.

My advise to any one buying a car from anybody is to request for the relevant documents in particular the SGD form which means "single goods declaration form" and has the C number boldly written at the top right hand corner. Under the C number is the date that document was posted into the data system.
No two vehicles can have the same C number and date. So armed with this you can visit any customs station to know if your documents are genuine.

With some cotonou smuggled cars showing up on our streets with forged documents as lagos cleared cars and vehicles been M.Od out of ports,this is a stress-free method of verifying your papers.

We have opened this thread for verification of C-numbers from the following points of entry -

1. Lagos port
2. Seme
3. Idiroko.

All you need to do is supply your name,address,VIN and the C-number of the vehicle and we run checks on it.THERE'S NO FIXED CHARGE FOR THE CHECKS BUT WHATEVER THE LORD PUTS IN YOUR HEART AS TIPS CAN BE SENT THROUGH OUR ACCOUNT...

How much is the entire cost in clearing a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE through Cotonou into Lagos with full legal papers.

GAZZUZZ:
People let's Understand the use of this thread.

I do not work for nigerian customs.

All I do is send your info to a friend who works there how checks it out and I post info here.

I am not here to analyze the info, all I'm doing is letting you know if that piece of paper in your vehicle that has duty written on it has actually been paid for or not.

Behind the scenes countless number of car dealers send their info and I check it out for them.


If the vehicle chassis does not match, it is not your vehicle duty.




If you require further analysis after this please contact saintjoel, he seems to be the expert.


Countless number of you buy vehicles with fake duty every day, this thread will save you from such deals.

If you have any complaints, post here.

saintjoel:
If any importer falls into these category,he/she can approach a licensed AGENT to raise what is called a DEBIT NOTE (D.N). A debit note is raised with the importers consent,its raised between the C. A. C,post clearance unit and the valuations units.

The D. N is used to cover-up for the balance of what was supposed to be paid as duty initially and believe me, a DN will save you from embarrassment when custom officers stop you on the highway.

Please note that before a DN can be raised, your papers must be original and the original year of declaration must be known, also the cheapest you can process a DN is N170,000 but please note that it's also subject to the model of the vehicle you're declaring.

Picture one shows the initial payment of N158,000

Picture two shows N105,000 that was raised as D. N for the vehicle.

Picture three shows the post clearance release form showing the reason a D. N was raised.

saintjoel:
OUTSIDE EXIT.

This is when an agent captures and makes payment through designated Banks to the Nigerian Customs Service but doesn't do the necessary documentation before releasing papers to the importer. In other words, the importer is handed a file with original bank teller and acknowledgement slip while every other paper in the file is fake,the vehicles are later smuggled out at the end.

Most of these "OUTSIDE EXIT" jobs are usually done for car dealer, third party relatives or end users that are greedy and want to shortchange the government but what they fail to realise Is that immediately the payment was made, an alert will be see will be seen in Abuja and every other assycuda unit. That alert will always work against the vehicle's free movement cos any checkpoint it gets to, officers especially the eagle eyes ones from the federal operations unit will always spot it and deal with the offending importer appropriately.

Please note that in the issue of raising a D.N,the initial document must go through proper processing before a D. N can be raised. Photocopies can not be Processed, only the original documents must be presented before the alert can be cleared. If any agent claims he/she can process the job with the original documents,don't listen or you'll end up with fake papers again.

**** A D. N IS RAISED TO BOOST INITIAL BANK PAYMENTS TO A LEVEL THAT WILL BE ACCEPTABLE TO CUSTOM OFFICERS. THE LEAST AMOUNT THAT CAN BE RAISED IS N100,000 BUT IT ALSO DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF VEHICLE.

After the alert has been erased, the D.N can now be raised.

*** in summary, please note that an outside exit is almost like having fake papers with you, the only genuine paper is the bank teller and acknowledgement slip.

For any info, call GBENGA on 08062948193.
