Please Admin, if here is not the right place to post this issue, please help me to move it to the right place. A 2015 Rav4 from U.S and shipped to Nigeria in a container with other peoples goods with 2 other SUV's and the handler in U.S told me that it will cost #1,785,000 to clear it and he sent the contact of the consignee in Nigeria to me, I contacted him and after our discussion he sent bank account where to pay the money to start the process for clearing the Rav4, after a week or more I transferred the whole money to him. Now the Rav4 is out registerred but on the way arround Ogun state, the Nigerian custom said the Rav4 is under valued and under paid, they said the Agent paid only #600,000 that he should have paid at least #1m and that they are going to raise BN to pay additional money ,my brother called the consignee he said he is not the agent but just the consignee and he gave my brother the Agent's number and my brother called he said there is no amount of money you pay to custom they will agree that it is enough as custom duty, he said he doesn't want to speak with any custom if he does they will ask him to come down to Ogun state, that my brother should find way to settle with them after much discussion they collected #25,000 ,then arround benin another custom, the same story and they collected another #50,000 and I called the consignee by myself whom I paid the money to and he said the same thing the agent said about custom. Please is there anyway to report this issue to Nigerian custom Service may the Oga at the TOP or any legal way to follow so that the agent will clear my Rav4 properly because I cannot spent that huge amount for clearing and still spend money because of job not properly done. Cleared from Tincan. Thank you my people , I waiting for useful response.

It is for the 2015 Rav4

While your duty must have beeb underpaid, the NCS should do something about their guys especially the ones in Benin.

I have been stopped at many custom check points and they always let me leave after checking my papers but the day I got stopped at Benin, they said my duty was underpaid. Nothing wey I no talk o.

They eventually collected N2000 before I was allowed to leave.

Benin customs are notorious criminals,even if your duty is completely paid,they will still make sure they reap you off.

An inspector friend of mine was suppsoe to deliver a car to someone In Benin from lagos,duty was underpaid by just 50k. Guess what? Being an inspector didn't even earn him a single respect,they collected 1.5k from him after threatening to shoot him lol. Those Benin customs are not out to smile at all.

Inspector ke, I was with my wife and a less than 2 month old baby and the guy didn't seem bothered keeping us under that hot sun.

There was this big madam that was being transported in a Toyota Sequioa who refused coming down to talk to them and instructed his driver to call the custom official. For where, den no even answer the woman o say if she can't come down, she should remain in the vehicle.

I used to have a philosophy never to give bribes on the highway till I met those people. My brother, I had to bend my philosphy and paid N2000 with plenty with abeg

Chuksworld:
Next time, tell them the car was cleared with 600k because it was salvage. Damaged. You fixed it to it current state

StCapital:
I have checked the custom papers, they did not indicate whether the Rav4 is salvaged or not.
