Fellow Nairalanders please I need your help on this. I have two units of 2001 Toyota Avalon that came to Lagos on Grande Gabon Grimaldi lines on 4th January and the vehicles were consolidated in a 40" container with two other vehicles and the shipper from US insists that only their clearing agent can handle consolidation. Now their agent charged me N360,000 each for the vehicles making a sum of N720,000 which I believe is outrageous. He claimed customs gave it 35% instead of 20% on CC. I cleared the 2002 of Toyota Avalon containerized in September 2013 at N255,000. Please does anyone in the house know what I can do to avoid this extortion.

ok u can give me #220'000 each-but u pay a container deposit-which is refundable via check in ur name after consignment have been delivered

Thanks sir. I regularly import cars from American auctions.I ll use your service on my subsequent shipments but on this case they said it is only their agent can handle clearing and unloading of consolidated containers.I only own two vehicles out of four in the 40" container. All I need is your correct information assistance now, Is 2001 Toyota Avalon charged 20% or 35% by Nigerian Customs? I cleared same vehicle through the same agent September last year @255k now it is a whooping 360k claiming customs charged 35% for it though the New tariff has not been implemented. The vehicle landed through grande Gabon on 4th January. Please I await your response as I am really confused
