– Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria –
Want to know the Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria for 2022 right? We just want to remind you that it’s no longer news that Nigeria still does not manufacture cars (except for a few cases where we hear of cars being assembled in Nigeria).
This post will list out the current cost of clearing cars in Nigeria Tin can port, Cotonou (Seme Border), Apapa Port, and other ports to deliver them to a client in Nigeria.
Charges such as Nigerian custom duty charges on imported cars, port charges, and clearing agent charges will also need to be paid for this to be successfully carried out.
As of last year, the system by which the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) charges for clearing cars changed.
Instead of charging according to the year of manufacture, they now charge according to the cost of the car not the year of manufacture.
The charge is 35% of whatever you paid for the vehicle and a levy of 35% making 70% of what you paid for the car. So assuming you bought a car for N2 million, you will spend N1.4 million to clear the car.
You can easily do the math yourself.
These prices can be brought down if you can find a good clearing agent.
Some agents gave us the estimated cost of clearing some cars manufactured in the following year:
