Hello,
So I bought three used smart phones from eBay.
The phones just came this afternoon via EMS post office.

The office called me and said my items have arrived, but I am gonna pay #41,000 as custom duty.This means I am am average of 13,000 per phone.

This is ridiculously high for a country who does not produce a phone.

It's also very surprising that the phones are even old used phones that reigned in 2006.

Edited.

Well...who knows

Besides I design quite alot of things... check my signature!

Openbusiness:
they didn't overcharge you. Nigeria Customs duty rate for phones is about 17% price of the item. Based on your purchase price of $450, and then they billed you N41k duty, that's roughly 18% duty or so depending on the exchange rate been used. So it falls within the range. You paid full duty, dazall.

Terrible FX may have exacerbated the matter.

Customs do not use the buying price of the phone; unfortunately they have a google department that their job is to research online the selling price of the phone and they tax you based on that!

The country is broke and they need money!

Next time you want to buy anything from the US like electronics etc use Amazon. Shop from amazon and at check out pay for priority international express. Amazon will then send it through DHL or UPS. Once it arrives Nigeria DHL and UPS does the customs clearance for you, you don't pay a dime to Nigerian customs because it's already in the shipping fees you paid while shoppong at Amazon.com

This is what I always do whenever I shop from the US. And it takes an average of just 4 to 5 working days to get to me once its shipped from the US.

Nigerian customs are criminals and better avoided

OneCorner:
Which one iPhone 10?
Your claims sounds bogus though

iphone x
It's the same
X means 10

SUPERPACK:
Na to tell the company to package it as charger or put it in another cheap phone carton.

You obviously have never received stuffs from abroad. Every parcel is opened and repackaged. Imagine lying about its content, do the maths in Ur head

If the money is too much, don't buy again na?!
Which question are you asking again ?

Lol.. So u don't know they open phone packages n check out the content...
Well same thing happened to me here in SA.
I got some old phones sent to me from Colorado..
I was made to pay 1500rand before I got all those phones..
But these things are received free in Nigeria, since when they started charging this much??
I did get a phone from US in 2015 via FedEx.. Was only asked to show proof of relationship jst to prove it wasn't a phone gotten via scam...
The officials that worked at the customs department of FedEx.. Were like... We can see this is legit after the sender had mailed dem a copy of her ID n stating the relationship btw us.. Las Las they begged for money.... U know how we scopingly as people for money..
I had to part with 1000naira..
Well Nigeria is going down in shambles

You bought phone worth of $450 in US and you called it ordinary.
Do you even bother to know that car dealers pay as much as #350,000 as custom duties on cars (salvage) purchased for as low as $1,200 from US?

Mind you that everybody is looking for who to cheat in this enclave.


Multiple tax upon tax, nothing to show for it because fraudsters are on top.

Treasure single account TSA introduced by Buhari govt is now irrelevance as they've started appointing treasurers to money making ministries all because of excess
fraud in town.
Fear 9ja!!?
