Importers Lament ‘high’ Tariff By Nigeria Customs by weyabblog: 11:51pm On Jan 03, 2016
The National Association of Government Freight Forwarders, NAGAFF, on Sunday decried the ‘high’ tariff imposed on importers by the Nigeria Customs Service.
The Chairman of NAGAFF, Segun Musa, spoke with aviation correspondents at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos.

Mr. Musa appealed to the Federal Government to review the policy, saying it was having an adverse effect on Nigerians involved in importation business.

According to him, the policy has forced many importers out of business while others have relocated out of the country in the last few months.

He called on the federal government to engage the private sector and stakeholders in policy formulation in order to get things right.

Mr. Musa said that the demise of some major industries in the country was caused by insecurity and lack of infrastructure and not due to importation.

He also advised the government to properly monitor the activities of customs officials toward blocking revenue leakages.

“The revenue leakage is more than the revenue collected in Nigeria, the tariff on imports are so high and that has taken a lot of businesses out Nigeria,” he said. (NAN)

If it is importing raw materials/machinery that has no local substitutes then I will want the FG to look into it not imports that have been draining our resources without adding value to the Economy.

This government is failing woefully in one key area - effective communication!

By now, I expect the administration to have properly articulated its economic policies regarding Agriculture, Industries, Imports, etc. These policies need to be aligned and should be properly communicated to Nigerians so everyone knows where the govt is going and what it is trying to achieve.

Where there is incoherence or misunderstanding of policies, then people might react in a manner that makes such policies counterproductive. All the bad economic news are sad enough, not knowing if there is a concrete strategy in place is most disheartening.

If you are a company like Michelin, and it cost #5000 to produce a tire in Ghana while the cost of producing the same tire in Nigeria is #8000, where would you site your factory?

Take into consideration that there are some imported ones from china that are sold for #7000.

NAGAFF should do well to inform us properly. Please, I want to know the categories of goods that are affected by the "high tarrif". People should not capitalize on our present financial imbroglio to brownose undeserved sympathy.

Where is the enabling environment for such productions in Nigeria?

People are lamenting government induced hardship, Rehobuhari is busy chasing Dasuki and phantom opposition enemies.

This is the result one gets when half educated people call themselves professors and comment. Customs don't set tariffs and duty, they simply collect what they law says they should collect.

They should stop the lamentation rather come togrther and form a kind of consottium that will be able to produce basic things they keep on flooding our local market with. They can explore the relative low interest 200bn smes that cbn just put in place. We can comtinue importing things we don't need in the country. I indulge gvt to keep on with policy. Its time we start thinking hard in this country. Old ways of doing did not bring result, let adopt another technique. To those that comment without reasoning, I say get sense now.

protectionism is an extremely inefficient way to industrialise and has failed to industrialise.Most countries industrialise by producing goods for exports. china despite having over a billion people had an export or perish mentality. Protectionism simply encourages smuggling, loss of revenues, capacity shortages and encourages high cost inefficient manufacturing since they are protected.It also kills commerce which is a huge employer of labour
