Like I said b4 I dnt want to spoil your Biz.at this point I think U already got the gist.b4 clearing both cost are same from Us to Benin or Lagos.Most people earn nothing frm car sales at times hence I pulled out after 14 years..The real beneficiaries in ur case are the agent who invest nada but time which is free.My argument in all of this is miss information on the part of the agents. Plz tell buyers the truth it's not cheaper to buy cars in cotonuo.the only thing that will be cheap or might be cheap is clearing plus the means to forge documents which %75 opt for cos they already bought the cars and yoy throw them into the deep ocean. They are faced with 2 choices 1 pay the normal fee which will mean the car becomes expensive than the lagos cleared or fly it ie smuggle saving them mayB N100 but then they have fake papers can't go Interstate. High BP at sighting customs anywhere on the rd.. So my friend it's cool wen U say you do nothing but fly cars to Nigeria but that's not shipping cars. .that's charging people to bring cars I to Nigeria from Benin

Kashif:
If you are importing yourself, go through Tincan. If you are buying, it is relatively cheaper (by about 100k) at Cotonou for a vehicle that is more than 2.5M, after paying duties. Why I hate Cotonou buys? Rolled back Odometers!

Kenchukky:
Sorry not 08 GX470 but 04 GX470. What i need is the price of 2004 model of GX470. Thanks

erico2k2:
at purchase cost of N2m B4 clearing he killed you right there cos at the exchange rate you provided ie N198.5, mine cost N1,419,275.
that's in texas a port town so no need for interstate transport plus the plate number (title) stays with the car so you can drive it to the port.
So if I add shiping $1,200 N238,200, this is tru for all cars be it benin or Nigeria. that brings my cost to N1,657,475.Landing at lagos port.
to show you true cost of the car so U know Im not telling fibs here http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5324509834.html

erico2k2:
brove I checked $8500 will land a 2008 ford edge at lagos pre clearing.
I have up to 6 cars with Sump damage from cotonou,most of the saloon cars that went through there where damaged cos they where smuggled.The Only reason I went through cotonou was cos of age restrictions put on cars back then.

erico2k2:
yes thats waht I meant, Im not in dispute that it might be cheaper to clear a car via cotonou ,mind you I did about 14 cars through that channel, however the risk are too high plus the BP you gt. as per cost from the Us give me a sec.

erico2k2:
If that's ur stance then you do not have any contribution to this topic as the original quest was cost of buying from Cotonou not cost of transferring or crossing cars from cotonou to Nigeria.And with Due respect Im sure you know where Im driving at hence you chose this exit cos me and you know cars in cotonou can never and will never be cheaper than cars in lagos Pre clearing.

erico2k2:
for clearity sake for those people not in the know, lets restrict it to cost of clearing.At this point its worthy to Not that this argument is not formed on the basis of clearing rather on the basis of cost of buying cos as me and you know the cost of clearing are constant what is not constant is the cost of buying the actual vehicle pre clearing and transfer, so my question to you again, how much would you say a 2008 camry or Unit of Merc 2014 E230 cost pre clearing at the car lot on average.and lets do the maths.

Kenchukky:
Please how much can i get a GX 470 lexus jeep and Ford edge 2008 model from cotonou to Lagos?

erico2k2:
N1M from where to where, from US to Benin republic? Let me let you know it cost $1200 to ship from USA to Niger republic transit benin republic

erico2k2:
hey don't get me wrong I'm not trying to spoil or hark your Biz,I know you clear cars from Benin, those people who ship to cotonou do it first and last time only as shipping from US to benin and shipping to lagos cost same thing $1200 dollars, this is standard for all SUV and saloon cars.Now in ur own view tell me the benefit of shipping to cotonou when it cost same to ship to Lagos .?? lets forget cost of shipping from the US and purchasing from the US, how much would you clear and deliver a 2010 toyota highlander to Benin?lets do the maths cos I believe in figures.

erico2k2:
I just re read this where did you get the idea that it will cost N1m to ship an E350 transit Benin?? or are you talking plus cost of buying it?

erico2k2:
You my friend should know me from yrs ago.we have crossed path b4.I'm saying Nigerians do not ship cars frm USA to cotonou for sale.I'm on about people like me in diaspora. I will gt bck to U as I'm held up at wrk cos of match. Let me gt home.

erico2k2:
I think the argument here is about the cost.if you check cotonuo the people importing and selling cars there are not Nigerians.

Gbengaodutona:
I have been to cotonou twice to purchase cars.
Firstly,we bought Mazda 323 for my brother which cost us about 1m cf then,about 4 years ago.After purchase they only gave us a receipt which was written in French language.
2ndly,some months ago,i went there to buy gulf 3 station wagon,four wheel drive which cost 900000 cf equivalent to about 255000 in NIGERIA currency,total cost of purchase +clearing+bringing it home resulted to 630k,
but b4 delivery,,my BP rises to maximum,simply because i took 400k to cotonou,i bought the car but Money for clearing is not available,my car spend up to a month b4 it could be delieverd,i was only given one receipt that you cannot present to anybody that they will understand,if i go back there i can't recognise the dealers shop,its only prayer o.now i can't go interstate where custome is.But i am enjoying my car in Lagos and gun.Its a taugh experience for me.
My advice for anybody that want to go there and buy,if they said their car+clearing+bringing it home cost 1.5,go there with at least 1.7 i am sure your car will be delieverd,in between two to three days

I would advise anyone who wants to buy a car to buy it in Nigeria at the ports and pay his /her duty at tha bank by his/herself in order to be on the safe side.
Most vehicles brought in from Cotonu are smuggled into the country by touts and smugglers and NO duty is paid on such vehicles.
Most of the time the vehicles are smuggled through foot paths and you could find your vehicle being intercepted by the customs in the hintrland and seized.
These touts/smugglers will alwys pay all tha taxes in Cotonu but will refuse to pay the same in their homeland Nigeria.
They will take your vehicle through all kinds of terrible bush path roads in order to evade payment of duty,however the problem is that the customs ASSYCUDA system is now all over the country,so if you claim to have paid duty in Warri,if the documents are intercepted in Sokoto the computer will reveal if duty was actually paid into the coffers of the Federal government.
Please always ensure you pay your duty by yourself at any designated Bank to avoid regretting later.
It may be cheaper to buy a vehicle from Cotonu but the dangers are enormous.
BE WARNED: A word is enough for the wise!

Bought my 1996 V6 VW Passat from Cotonou it was hell and like bad luck. By the time it was driven down to Lagos they already damaged the transmission. I waited for 2 weeks before it got to me in Lagos. I saw how they drove cars while returning to Lagos on my own. The "fayawo" boys as they used to call them drove very rough. And it was rainy. They even had to cut some other car's seat-belts  to to another car that got its ABS/brakes all locked down and wheels wont move. I dislike the VW because the car parts where and are still so expensive I sold to my friend but I always tell him to sell it since he'd replaced transmission more than twice ,  I did replace transmission too.

Well on my way back I saw cheap apples and frozen chicken/turkeys and liquor i bought some because i chattered a vehicle that took me to and fro with my friend and agent But then I started disliking buying apple/chicken and other imported frozen foods because i started thinking they sometimes spend months in Cotonou before being smuggled to Nigeria

Since then I've only used Lagos cleared , i.e brand new Kia and lastly an 08 Honda Civic

Jelad Ventures is still into clearing of freight and vehicles through Nigerian customs at the land border and Tin can.

For importation/export of goods and commodity,few things need to be explained in order to make our job easier and also save expenses on the customer's side.

Import goods are classified into three categories -

A) NAFDAC GOODS - These are edible products like vegetable oil,seasonings, biscuits,candies etc. Toiletries also fall into this category.

B) GENERAL GOODS A - These category is supervised by S.O.N (Standard Organization of Nigeria) and goods that fall into this category include electronics,building materials,furnitures etc.

C) GENERAL GOOD B - This category is also supervised by S.O.N and they are goods like toothpicks,matches etc.

IMPORTERS ARE KINDLY ADVICED TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING DETAILS -

1.Containers are measured by twenty feet,which means that a forty feet container pays twice of what a twenty feet container pays.

2. Goods that been imported and cleared through customs at land borders are offloaded in our warehouse at iyana-isashi and from that point,it'll be loaded onto smaller trucks for movement to final destinations. Expenses for these trucks depend on where the goods are heading to.

3. As an agency,we can help with Nafdac and S.O.N registration and collection of certificates for subsequent shipments,it makes our job easier and faster and also saves expenses on our customer's side.

4. Goods can also be transported from Cotonou port by our trucks to the border and also from ports to final destination,we also assure clients that their goods will be in safe hands. These trucks have the capacity of merging two-three containers at a time to make movement faster and easier.

5. If you're shipping containers through cotonou,please note that it could be as low as 120,000 CFA (N408,000) but also note that this isn't a fixed rate,it all depends on the goods.

Jelad ventures is your best bet when it comes to clearing containers,goods and vehicles through land borders and ports.
