I'm sharing this to know if there is anyone that has had similar experience in the past and how they were able to resolve it.

I was on the highway just last week and i got pulled over by customs, after going through my customs docs, they told me my document was fake and the dealer who sold the vehicle made a fake document for me. the fact is the document i have actually checked out at customs initially when i went to verify it before payment, but apparently the customs papers wasn't for my car but a similar car, and that's how i was outsmarted , never gonna happy again anyway. i was actually let go after sorting things out with them .

Now the point is i want to actually make the payment duty, but the customs guys were saying border is closed and i cant make payment again, which means i cant travel with the vehicle, to avoid similar experience.

Now i'm totally confuse, i know there is away around this, but the right link is what i need, as i've spent a lot on the vehicle trying to make it to my taste and selling it off isn't my first option at it stands.

That vehicle was imported via land border and there is a subsisting ban on importing vehicles vial land. This means you won't be able to regularise your custom document ever.Just sell off the vehicle to me at a cheap rate and have peace of mind. What's the point owning what you can't use

first of, i have 2 vehicles, and second thing is i can keep using the car for as long as possible, the only barrier is i cant go interstate with it, and again if u make a good offer, i may still sell it. it all depends, maybe u leave your contact so i can get in touch.

What is d make of the car

Have you raised the issue with the dealer? Why don't you consider arresting him?

Custom is corrupt we all know and FG is encouraging them. What will it cost them to create a website where people can check online the validity of the vehicle by inputting the chassis number. If a vehicle gets into the country without a duty, then custom is not efficient.

i stay in another state, the silly guy stays in lag. traveling and pursing that case all around is what im lazy to start.

When some Nigerians see some cars for cheap, they attack us that pay correct import duties saying "You wan carry me build house abi?". This is the aftermath.

Unbelievable deals and distress sales exist. Just be sure to do your verifications properly. I've been shopping for a used ML350 2013 model and I've come across so many with duty as low as ₦500k - ₦600k. Some without duty at all.

Well like they say, as long as you dey use am for Lagos, no wahala.

The alarm has been sounded about these dishonest practices over and over.

Chances are your vehicle came in over the land border like the vehicle in the thread below

now this right here.... is the problem with Nigeria and Nigerians.... it's not the government.... it's not the law makers... it's the mentality

now we can now see how a diabetic patient that claims he truly want to get better but cannot help himself around sugary compounds.......

if u, as a customs officer can provide a way out for smuggled cars to become legit in the country then almost all hope is lost......
vehicle - laundering

now I sincerely see no reason y people that smuggle cars should be reprimanded when the system provides a foolproof and fail-safe remedy to aid and further their cause even though it is officially a criminal offence....

diportivo and thebigkendo come and see for urself....

sorry to say. But I think u have slight comprehension problems..
1.im a clearing agent
2. I've never done it
3. I'm suggesting an official way out..

If u get arrested by customs, u will still go through this route for paying duty. Where is the fraud here as u suggest.. He should come to tincan customs office and do all these by himself.. It's not a crime to give a solution when it seems there's no way out.

so Ur custom friend says it's impossible to pay duty on a smuggled car.. It's either he's incompetent or he's naive.. People pay duty on cars daily at fou ikeja. Go there and confirm for urself.. So u mean all seize cars are destroyed or what.. Once the car is not seized, they can still raise u a DN which u can use to pay duty to Nigerian customs

rexana:
What is d make of the car

Toyota camry 2010.

You want to assist the OP, that's commendable.

Could you clarify the following?

- There's a moratorium on vehicle imports into Nigeria across the land borders.

- Importers still smuggle these vehicles into the country, pay "genuine" duty and somehow come up with "genuine" customs documents for them.

My question is simple, really.

In the import documents presented to the NCS in the duty payment and clearing process, what port of entry would be listed?

Tin Can? Apapa?

If the answer is either of the above, how would the importer come up with documentation showing that the vehicle was imported via those ports?

Where would the Ship bill of lading come from? Vessel name? Voyage number? Port of loading?

Or would the import documents indicate that the vehicle entered via the land borders?

please,I want to know if it is less stressful importing cars into the country without delay?
And is the duty expensive though I heard it has been reduced.
