I remember at DHL office in ikeja airport, customs call this my guy to come pickup his iPhone 11 promax he bought used at 300$ in 2019. They billed him 315$, and they value the item as new, even though he has the pro forma invoice. They told him if he doesn't pay, item will be seized. The guy was just crying 5 Likes |

Guy it has little to do with Customs, all items being imported have different rate of duty, 0%, 5%, 20% and 35%.This rate of duty is set my FEC for Customs to enforce.Next time you want to ship in any item, look within and compare the price, including, cost, insurance freight and duty cost, most times, you are better off buying in Nigeria...exactly what govt wants you to do. 5 Likes |

You actually have to pay duties on what you import. Only gifts and personal items are included. If I ship expensive items from Aliexpress to the UK I'm billed for duties too. |

If you don’t want to pay custom duty then use the service of private shipping agents. You pay for shipping then you pick up your items at their warehouse. Your best bet is to look for cash to get your items out. It even out since you already got free shipping |

Dandy1:Don't mind those saying nothing you can do. We are the one encouraging corruption. Go back to aliexpress, open dispute and get a refund when you have your money back in your account, you can then plan what to do next. DON'T PAY THAT MONEY , DONT NEGOTIATE WITH ANYBODY 3 Likes 1 Share |

nigerians are conditioned to suffer eternally. Even if you start a protest about the daily light robbery in customs, some pro-government nincoompoops even here on this thread will fight and oppose it. nigeria has a potpourii of idiots, buffoons and irredeemable scallywags cursed with retrogression. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Simply write to the EMS manger of the region where you are requesting for re-evaluation and revaluation of the custom charges and attach your receipt. They will surely downward-review it. 2 Likes |

akinsto4ever: We were told that with the coming on board of Treasury Single Account-TSA, federal government related corruptions would be a thing of the past; bro, negotiate for downward review of the charges and pay. My main concern is , what you receive from Aliexpress is markedly different from what you saw and paid for in terms of quality . Good luck ! |

To be honest, always check the custom duty rate of whatever you want to buy before you complete the transaction. If you check the rate, taxes, etc The duty they asked you to pay is in order. Another option is to ask the seller to reduce the value of the item for custom declaration. Customs no dey manufacture figures, they go by the goods classification. 1 Like |

Ask for the valuation officer and ask for a review of the CIF used. Go with evidence of the payment you made. When there's no invoice attached, the valuation officer uses estimates to calculate your duty. Dandy1: |

OP better go and collect his items before they becomes "items lost in transit"....note that the person at the collection point have no power to negotiate and possibility of your items getting missing is very high...you brag about suing them if that happens though but be mindful you get justice ,may be before you are 80yrs old and that is if you can go through all the beaurecratic trouble... 4 Likes |

nedekid: You made a valid point here... No reasonable importer in all d markets in Lagos at present, declare d actual worth or quantity of goods imported... My advice, just pay up and pick your goods. Ensure you do d needful next time by pleading with the shipper to under-estimate d worth of the item before shipping. |
