i suffered the same faith last month my car stayed over 40 days at 5 star terminal due to Alraine telex issues.It cost me 125,000 extra charges at the end of the day i had to get a copy of the telex myself from hoegh and i can see so many nigerian names have been copied the email that is the people at Alraine.Your telex is with them but there is nothing you can do this Alraine people.

Emperoh:

Jerryland, Fhemmy!
The Murano just came out today cos of the Telex issue!!
Shipping agent released the car but for some reasons, Hoegh declined to release to us!!
But i thank God i sorted it out but not after paying 9k in demurhage charges!!

Thanks for all and the person who set up this thread!!

@ib612, thanks for your sincerity. the car importers on NL dont wanna talk about the clearing agents and i wonder why. i cleared two 2007 jeeps in dec highlander and ford ,i paid 450k for the ford but paid 320k for the highlander. i used two agents the second agent told me i was duped and that he and his partner still made 130k from the 320k i paid. the custom duty on both jeeps are 170k respectively. 18k for the shipping company and 17k for the shipping agent. the balance goes to their pockets. i implore importers to speak up on clearing so we know how to reduce our cost of clearing cars its so bad dat corruption has taken over some part of our system.the clearing agents would tell you they had to bribe the custom guys but i found out the tip is as small as 10k if need be.

Rothstein:

@ib612 its so nice of you opening up the can of worms. pls elaborate on clearn process and amount im expectn a 2009 suv and wd not want to fall 4 another con. im so surprised Fheemmy is asking abt cost of clearing now - he has been the champion of AGENTS MUST CHOP syndrome and he praises Adexfem like he takes a cut from the con money too.
