When u dont learn the ropes first before delving into business. Didnt u hear that the govt of now is blocking leakages? Understating import just to lessen duties is part of d leakages. Do a thorough fisibility study nezt time n get pure facts without trying to do mago mago. Importation of goods wil be more expensive now dan in the punitive days. No more cutting corners, anyone who cuts corners in customs is taking risk, Dey risking ur valuables too. #Change!!! 3 Likes |

Since u used maerskline I believe the work is in apapa not tincan or it might be in any of the bonded terminals in lagos, so demurage starts counting 3days after berthing ,it starts frm 1500 to 18500 at the third periou which I guess u r in now,same goes for terminal charges ,yes u had alert doesn't necesarly mean d agnt under Paid, this things happen,d cloths cldnt be d prblem I gues u v paid DN already for the alert u had so u r free to go,pls snd sm1 to apapa with a copy of the BL to knw the status cos as it is u r gtng a bill of 30k min evryday |

iPopAlomo: Oga no scare the guy like that nah (per the bolded above). Daily demurrage for terminal TICT 2nd or even Grimaldi na 8,800 naira per day for the first period. He appears to be in the last period. Hence his demurrage na N12,600 per day. You forgot to mention, releasing officer money. DC Money, CIU money, OC Gate money, even the agencies money (Police/anti bomb, SS, NDLEA, ), even valuation get money. This container should cost him N1,550,000 million to clear (assuming it is loaded with goods. However, if the container only contain just the 3 cars, then he should be paying N1,400,000 million naira. Any regulatory body can easily place alert on the system. For instance, the one that I cleared in December had an alert initiated by port CID. They claimed that they got information from New York that I had furniture in my container. I just laughed and gave them 10,000 (ten thousand naira), and they released the alert immediately 10 Likes 1 Share |

Laredojohn: I always paid correct duty... while I was still an agent... but I still had to bribe the customs to release the consignment... Imagine paying correct duty and still paying 5K for a single unit of vehicle... with Abeg ooo... and someone that underpays pays around 20-30k sometimes 50k per unit of vehicle... but he's made much more by short payment... The Customs were encouraging the leakages cos they made more money making Honest Agents toil for nothing... So one day... I just told myself... to hell with this... and I left... 3 Likes |

iPopAlomo: Oga with all due respect to you, his container has not even been at the wharf for 30 days, so how can he pay that kind of amount. I know that system very well. I import and clear my goods myself. TITC is right behind Zenith and Access bank in the Panasonic building at point road Apapa by area B police station, right opposite KeyStone bank. I am saying all this to prove to you that I am a regular. His demurrage on the terminal side at this level should be 12,600 per day for the container and not for units of cars. Depending on his arrangement with the shipping company, he might just pay little demurage. I always ship with ZIM lines or Hanjin, or United Arab shipping lines, and I make sure that my shipper gets me 21 days free 2 Likes 1 Share |

eksammy:Clearing cars or any unprohibited goods shouldn't exceed 3-7 days. Did you use shipping companies like dhl, fedex etc.? It will be easier to clear goods shipped by dhl, fedex, tnt etc. They normally send the documents containing your import duty from customs. So, ask the person what shipping company he used and the custom duty documents. |

Clearing a container takes Max 1 week . From all you have said it is obvious the clearing agent paid less than what he ought to pay thus the "Alert". I would say the clearing agent billed lesser thus the short payment of customs duty route he has towed . My advise i you go to the port and insist on knowing the exact problem and simply settle it cos demurage/Rent would continually pile up . Wish you the best 2 Likes |

The agent under-pay no doubt about that but if if he's smart enough he should be able to tackle issues. Immediately he pick your call ask him the stage your container is that he should be honest with you. Prepare yourself as you will be asked to pay more money. |

eksammy: Bros, your money to comfortably pull this container should be around N1,500,000 and N1,550,000. The agent was probably working with what you gave him. You probable dealt him a "take it or leave it type of deal", hence he took it, knowing that if it hooks you go still drop the remaining money. 1 Like 1 Share |
