@sheffyUTD, how much will it cost to clear a 2012 Toyota Camry?

Kindly answer with a breakdown of the official fees and your own fee too.

Your time starts now!

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.

A brand new 2017 Camry goes for about $24k and you are saying your system will calculate duty on used 2015 Camry at $28k how does that make sense if not corruption. Those benefit from the system should know that they are an accessory to that system in the eyes of those outside the system.

How I wish Nigerian will understand the power they have right now to make massive changes but because there is zoo much money in the system they keep giving it away.

This is Ghana

Don't mix things up, Benin only charges the same rate for vehicles in transit to Nigeria and other countries. It's so expensive when it comes their own citizens that even ordinary plate numbers for commercial cars cost 900,000 cefa (N553,500) . That's why some of them opt for Nigerian duty and plate numbers for their vehicles and they drive around with Ecowas brown card.

Thank you for this sir. So much unawareness.

Marpol:
The guy posted something and you have been trying hard to discredit it.

Give us your own breakdown if you feel his breakdown is incorrect.

Agents are very shady people.

I believe you read the post from the beginning. I asked him the basis of his calculation and he reference the value OP quoted, fine. The calculation was correct. In the same post, he turned to say that's d duty to be paid for 2015 Camry. That is why I asked him to quote from value chat the value for the car and how he arrived at the quoted duty. If he's in the know of how things work with Nigeria customs, your purchase price don't work for vehicles; except general cargo.

The main motive for asking the question of basis this. To avoid misleading people. Yet, some are already saying corruption fighting back. nobody is trying to discredit him.

For clarity sake, 2015 Camry value on Customs chat is $28k for hybrid and $33,000 for normal. Using the smaller value
I.e

28,000 * 306 (exchange rate) = 8,568,000
@ 35% (surface duty) = 2,998,800
With this total duty is (surface * 1.281) = 3,841,463

Now, for customs to give you 1.5m as surface instead of 2.9m, if they will ever give, how much will they take from valuation unit, releasing officer, gate, Customs Processing Center and others. This is a simple thing I expected when I asked for people to understand. Nobody is trying to rip off or scam anyone.

I hope the shady aspect is not for me sir.

Please What's the cost of clearing a Mercedes ML 350 2003& 2005 model? Roro

550k & 750k respectively

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

saintjoel:
Boss, you still don't get it and you're making it seem as if the agent wanted to scam him whereas he was even sincere by quoting the cost of a 2013 Camry for 2015 Camry. Do you know that if we use the tariff and we declare a 2015 Camry as 2015,it will cost almost N5.2m to move it out of the port.

I'm not also against the O. P from going to the Customs himself/herself to apply for value after their agent must've captured and given them the necessary papers, it even pays me as an AGENT if my client decides to go with step by step, so it'll make you see what it costs to pay and process DUTY papers, I'm sure that after you've gone round for a day or two moving round in the rain and sun begging and haggling with customs, you will sit in your house to expect your next shipment. I've had several clients that will ask questions like "Can I pay to bank myself", " can I apply for value myself" etc and I allow them to do everything because it solves the argument of "it seems he cheated me" or "he duped me" but you must pay my service charge before we start processing.

And note, i've not told you that your calculations are wrong but it's machine generated because it's already stored in the database and that's done only after you've obtained value and you've paid to bank, it's not as if it's done by hand or by whatever means. There's no "wuruwuru" anywhere like you're claiming because it shows you don't know one bit of what we do if you claim there's wuruwuru. All I've asked is this, how much does 2015 Camry according to the tariff, which you have been unable to come up with. Just because you saw the calculations on your payslip after clearance doesn't mean that it was done by hand or done before obtaining value or done because the importer declared the rate he bought the vehicle.

Ignore the guy, it does not worth the argument. By his comments, he's clueless as to how things work at Port. You can only learn when you admit your ignorance, his claim of authority over assumptions is not convincible. This is not A for Apple class.

Mr Sheffy.
He gave us the formula of his calculation and how he arrived at his number.
The duty he quoted is for the value I gave not for ever other 2015 Camry .

This was his post.
//////

To calculate custom duty, your duty is calculated based on summing up surface duty (% of CIF), surcharge, administrative charge (CISS), ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS), and 5% VAT.

In your case, FOB + Freight and Insurance cost = CIF which is #4,400,000 in your case.

Surface duty @35% is 1,540,000
Surcharge @7% of surface is 107,800
ETLS @ 0.5% of CIF is 22,000
CISS @1% of FOB ($10,000) is 36,700
VAT @5% of all above is 85,325
Total duty payable is 1,791,825

clearly understood sir. I don't have issues with that but this:

synergybj:
But from my experience, no custom will disturb you as per duty on and off the road with a 1.791.825 duty payment for a used camry.

This is not about common sense but fact.

Talk to us, let's do business

synergybj:
Yes. I calculated that based on the cost and quote you gave to me which is about the average cost of a camry. You can see how i arrived at 1.791,825 naira. (you can set aside 100,000 for agent fees) The agent that sent you 2.8m - 3.2m quote should give you the breakdown of how he got that number. But from my experience, no custom will disturb you as per duty on and off the road with a 1.791.825 duty payment for a used camry. Don't take my word for it, if you are less busy, walk into any custom command, ask for a valuation officer, he will gladly give you a duty estimate which i bet will be much lower than 2.8million and closer to my 1.791,825. Goodluck

Oga stop misleading people with your assumptions. Tell us how much customs value 2015 Camry, its surface duty, settlements to arrive at your 1.5/1.7m and not the amount the OP bought the vehicle. You will be helping Majority with that.

What's shocking about this, is it too much to demand for information.

Is it true that any car from 2012 and above has to be paid 70% the price of the car as custom duty??

Not true. only new vehicles

I hope this helps u.

I have been trying to figure out the basis of the calculation. please do better telling us the year and (type of vehicle you calculated, its dollar value and other details to avoid misconception. thank you

saintjoel:
Many people think it's actually the agent's or customs fault. We're all working according to a template drawn by the ministry of finance because they now believe that money generated from custom duties can be used to service the budget and other expenses,money that can never cease as long as there are ports and borders to get it from.

We can only blame customs for been greedy by collecting what we call their "table money". You want to pay N1.3m into bank for a car and customs will collect almost N650,000 or more for table money before you get the papers out.

Alhaji Shittu and other excos of ANLCA ,our parent body have been fighting it out with customs and the ministry of finance for years with no result, they've kept going to Abuja to plead for reductions in duty but it seems their plea keeps going into deaf ears. Dikko is a major culprit and I hope he lands in jail, he was the one that made politicians realise that there was money to be made from duties and when Alli resumed, he started seeing commands remiting billions to the government's pocket every month, he and adeosun decided to go on with the same template.

I recognize their efforts, but truth sir is that, ANLCA alone can not win the battle.

Well, chairman so much questions on everybody's lips, too little answer.

first, you can never get same quote from agents because there's no fixed duty. What you have is range of values. Though there's a published Tariff to refer to, the quotation you get depends on what customs and your agent consider save minimum value to pay without giving headache to the end user.

Second, Nigeria Customs don't care how much you bought your vehicle . They use useless algorithm; called ex factory price. How can vehicle of 10yrs old be valued based factory price

Less fault with Customs, much blame on Ministry of finance and customs board.
