Custom Clearing Agent Cheated Me? by halima83: 7:08am On Nov 19, 2018 |
I bought a car from one of the auction sites in US and the car being an accident car was shipped in a container and the shipper assigned the container to it's clearing agent in Nigeria. The agent collected 1.5 million from me to clear the car. The car is 2013 Camry. From the customs document he gave me, I can deduced he paid only 650k as duty. He couldn't explain the where about of the balance, though I know there might be other port charges he paid. My question now is how do I recover my money from him. Can I report him to customs? |

halima83: Madam, as long as it wasn't smuggled, customs won't do zilch to anyone.... Also, are you sure your shipper didn't collect any commission from the agent.....And clearing vehicle shipped in containers are more expensive than shipping as RORO.... offloading and trucking in and out of the port alone is almost N120k plus ....... My advice is that you continue using the car that way or you raise a D.N on it.... |

halima83: I don't know where to start from. Will check the vehicle $ evaluation for that car and calculate it.Lets assume you saw 650k,you don't expect the clearing agent to take exactly the amount paid on duty from you. 1 Like 1 Share |

N1.3m on a 6 years old salvage. Some people still wonder why Nigerians use Cotonou ports whereas they are staying away from the real crooks its almost December now and the ports will be dry, unlike a couple of years ago when it was congested with about 100 ships waiting to offload now there are 100s of trucks in Lagos waiting for the non existing cargo |
