Don't mind him, he has been going on threads where motorist are being enlightened on the policy to state that the policy will not have any traction that they should trust him (as CG Customs na )

To your question, you can approach the nearest Customs area command and ask that they help with validating your document. They will charge a toKen. I can also help you with doing same.

Check my signature for more information.

Best Regards.

This policy would never take off. Grace period would come and go and nothing would happen. Watch and see.

Woe betide any custom officer dumb enough to stand in my way I will send him to his early grave

In Nigeria, things are done upside down. If I was the custom boss, I will
1. Setup an online system for Vin verification to make it easier for car owners to just input their car Vin which tell them whether their vehicle is in the system also which vehicle type the Vin is tied to incase of false/fake paper

2. Don't use a uniform payment method, rather a depreciation custom payment since the custom is responsible for allowing smuggled cars escape their radar. They should also pay for incompetence. So they collect registration data from frsc and bill custom duty on a depreciation basis. So if I registered a 2004 micra in 2010, I shouldn't pay same duty as someone who registered same 2004 micra in 2016.

3. Make a printable slip free of charge from Internet, so those who have valid documents when stopped by custom agbero can just flash their slip and the custom agbero just verify with car Vin to make checking easier and faster saves time and man hour. Those just paying will be issued the slip free along with their document.

4. Every vehicle imported will be given a certificate of custom clearance just like the Lagos State land use charge certificate, this certificate has security on it like the paper notes, this will make identifying fake custom documents easier.

All these ones na long thing. With the c-no, all your clearing details on your car, would appear on the custom ASSYCUDA system. They don't need to check through your hard copy to verify if you paid duty. Once they get your photocopy, they'd pick up the no and send to their office and confirm what they want.

Your submission apart from the opening statement shows clarity of mind, thoughtfulness and strategic thinking.

It is this type of thinking and approach that has made the western world what it is today. They think very deeply before they do things. They even simulate situations and create scenarios just to get it right. But here, the reverse is the case.

One more thing and as your contribution to the development of our nation; please crystallize these ideas and forward to the Ministry of Finance - I assure you someone will pick up on it.

So let's say my car got burgled, my house got burnt, the documents were mistakenly shredded and I couldn't get the C-number (who has time to memorize it) so what next?

chronique:


Maybe custom should start giving out a badge with the c-no crested on it, and paste it(on the inner part or hood) of every car before it gets out of the port.

That is a long thing and irrelevant. Are you saying the custom think tanks are wiser than car manufacturers? Even in developed world's, Vin is used for a whole lot of things from information on a vehicle, part tracking of a vehicle to color code and a whole lot of things.

If custom is a serious entity, they should have based their assycuda on Vin which is hard to tamper with and becomes irrelevant only when car burns , it follows car everywhere. This is the 21st century while custom still thinks we are in stone age

Nice one bro

I don't need to follow that link, I know of a car dealer here who tampered with a Benz Vin here and was caught so it's not new.

But the question should be how will the custom Vin work, the process is simple
Car lands in Port, it is checked and Vin is the most important thing to capture they can also capture engine number etc but Vin, car make model and color follows the Vin. This is input in a universal system. Custom is done

To the buyer, you buy a scratch card like the jamb one and @ 500 naira which can be used 3 to 5 times only look for the car Vin input it in the universal system and it brings out the custom car details (when car came in, what port duty paid, importer etc)

Next frsc for licensing just show proof of receipt and or letter of sale from original owner car details is already there no need to ask for more

Now for police they will have space for change of car color and engine etc (a reason must be given for car color change after investigation must have been carried out to ascertain whether the car was used as hit and run or robbery or just personal preference)

That is all, when the federal institutions have a universal system they communicate with and continuously monitor it, all things will be in. Place. There is no need for road safety, police, army, airforce, ndlea, task force, lastma etc on the road. Just one uniform man and a universal online system tells alot about the vehicle.

I have not been to America but I have people living there, I watch sony crazy car chase. It's just one cop all he does is input plate number only and he can tell if it's registered to a salon car and it's make and model, if it has escaped infraction in other states, if it was reported stolen.

This our stupid leaders sees this and know it, but I don't understand why they choose to be different

Lol. I sell cars for a living and trust me, if it was that simple, custom would have taken that route. I have seen people bring in 2014 venza as 2009 venza, 2012 highlander as 2009,etc. All original vin stripped off and pimped with 2009 vin... If custom decides to do that, they would lose out badly. All our people would do, is to get details of an already cleared vehicle, clone its vin, smuggle in other models of same year and love-vendor with an already cleared vin details. That way, once custom stops the owner of the car, the details would tally with what is in the system but several cars will have that. How do you now detect the fake or original? Also, several cars would have the same chasis /vin no while registering. Who will agree that his own is fake?

nurey:


So I read something about law that says it's better for 1000s of offenders to beat the system than the system to punish unlawfully an innocent individual.

If custom duty was pocket friendly, the public worker (custom staffs) did their job of serving the interest of the public and the system less complicated things will work. How did a car coming in from unknown escape the port without proper clearance? That's where you know the problem of this country is metaphysical

The custom boss is putting the cart before the horse and his idea won't work eventually cause nah them go Taya. Except if the Vin was tampered with on the high sea, I don't see why that should cause a problem. But since car can walk out of Port by itself without anybody asking the car from where to where then we have a problem.

No be port a container loaded with guns Waka pass without anybody asking questions. I just gave my own input, the canker worm in the custom Maize needs tetrachloromethane which will kill the worm, the corn and make the soil useless too.

***////////*** BREAKING NEWS********//////


ALLI HAS REFUSED TO MEET THE SENATE.. .

The Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, Hameed Ali, has written the Senate, notifying the lawmakers he will not appear before them on Wednesday as expected. ‎
The Senate Clerk read Mr. Ali’s letter on Tuesday.
He was summoned last Thursday over the planned clampdown on vehicles without duty payment.
In its resolution, the Senate said Mr. Ali must appear in appropriate Customs uniform which he has not been publicly seen to have worn.
He had hit back at the Senate, asking the lawmakers to show interest in his work not his dress.
In his letter, he said he had to attend an NCS meeting; but the Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawann said that reason was not tenable.

More to come.
