I’m also a victim of this 2yrs ago. A woman later helped me out inside airport, instead of 1m they asked me to pay. I later paid 450k for 4 pieces of iPhone 14pro 3 Likes |

Jefferyzz: I doubt anything will change. It is mainly duty they are charging you. And the charge is based on worth of the item. I think 15%? Not sure. For example, they'll check cost of new iPhone (same model), not really what the sender bought it, and use the amount to calculate the duty. If you cist their office, they may be kind enough to show you how the said amount was reached. It wasn't randomly given to you |

ufuosman: That is what it is. They didn't manufacture those values. Just that they use current exchange rate to calculate the duty 1 Like |

viqSmallz: Do you work or have you worked with customs or DHL? If not don’t tell me what I know very much about. They manufactured that customs duty right their in their NACHO office. Check customs website and see what they charge for items. What % is charged on phones and come back to see that what DHL presented that guy is not from customs. How come cargo shippers don’t pay ridiculous amount of duties on phones and other gadgets? We have many shippers from USA, UK to Nigeria that ship phones and resell them here. The question is if this is how customs truly charge, would those people still be doing business after paying so much for just a few phones? 6 Likes |

Jefferyzz:Customs are wicked when it comes to this. I am not sure it has any solution unless you directly know the oga at the top. They know that there is no one you can seek redress with. If the phone stays much longer, they will start charging demurrage on it. If you refuse to come for it after some time, they will claim that it has been auctioned. Too bad but this is Nigeria: a country where citizens do not matter and where the law is skewed against ordinary people |

All of una wey neva receive biro from America or Europe are the ones blowing hot and cold here. After you shakara finish, show document till daikindonkon (aka thy kingdom come), receiver will still pay that moni. Unless he uses man-know-man to reduce it (if possible). Dem neva even hint him of NDLEA o. They will still do their own. I drag this matter 2 months, even the residency status of sender in America they ask and we provided. I was blowing hot and cold, attacking here and from USA. I use my social warrior status on twitter to fight the "injustice". All na story. Send it back? Ok, you will kukuma lose the whole thing in the labyrinth of Nigerian bureaucracy. So, if you have no experience, keep your opinion to yourself. One musician said in Yoruba "the people wey do pass you plenty gaan; wan yapa oo, aiye po gan". Lol. Abeg, please remember that anything you dey buy from abroad, people have gone through the stress to bring same in to sell in Nigeria. Patronize local and save everybody from ruin. Meanwhile, OP go pay that moni o 3 Likes |

Write that you can't pay such ridiculous amount. It should be reviewed and if they can't make you pay what you're capable of. THE ITEMS SHOULD BE RETURNED. NONSENSE! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Curdlebug:dhl is following a laid down rule by custom to avoid problems. It is easier for them. I sent phone, a computer and other items last year home.. and I got the email for extra payment to customs, because I added my email as the receiver. The amount wasn’t this much… but I guess this is the standard now. Better to send money than all this stress 2 Likes |

The sender must be a newbie. No one is using DHL or post office to send packages to Nigeria because of custom duty. Next time he should use the local Nigerian freight company to ship items to Nigeria. The maximum shipping cost he will pay for these same items will be less than £40, and you go to there office in Nigeria to pick it up. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sheuns: You are confirming my point about your ignorance on this case. Just because people do it wrongly does not make it the correct thing to do. Plus this isn't a cargo shipment. JSYK. There is no fixed cost for customs duty only fixed rates e.g 10% etc. You claim to know that what was sent was not from customs. How is that? Do you know the intricacies of computing and finalizing duty assessments till the exit note stage? I guess not. You are talking to someone with years of experience in this field, I own a customs duty software as well.. lol. Duties are computed based on the cost of the item, insurance and freight and other landing cost. Mind you as an importing country, this is not done using your local currency as base. They use the foreign currency you purchase in, and then convert it to naira. So the higher your exchange rate and cost the higher the duty. See how govt policies can affect all strata of your life? You should just learn from me, what I am telling you is real and correct. I am not arguing for anything. I know this process like the back of my palm. 1 Like |

Tell them you're going to ask DHL to send it back to where it was sent from. A few months ago, I sent three brand-new laptops to my staff in Nigeria, but they couldn’t get them cleared. The shipment was passed from one agency to another. After paying the duty that Nigerian Customs charged, I was informed that the DSS had also seized it - suspected of being a proceed of crime. Even after bribing a DSS official, who they gave me his contact number, I was then told the laptops had been transferred to the drug agency. It was a real nightmare until I petitioned UPS here in London, accusing them of taking no action against their staff in Nigeria while they are colluding with Customs, DSS, and Immigration to extort people sending goods to Nigeria. I informed them that I would be recalling the items if no action was taken. I sent a copy of my official complaint against UPS to all those corrupt agencies in Nigeria. Two days later, the DSS officer called to inform me that the laptops had been sent back to UPS for delivery to my office in Nigeria. 1 Like |
