Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria 2024 Update

Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria 2024. If they have the means, many Nigerians will buy a brand-new car or one driven abroad. This is due to the widespread conviction that imported automobiles are more reliable than their Nigerian-made counterparts. The possibility is intriguing, but there is still the question of getting vehicles through Nigerian customs.

It would be best if you went through port clearance to import foreign goods, including automobiles. Clearing fees are what you’ll spend on this procedure. The total cost of clearing a vehicle in Nigeria, including all applicable fees, will be discussed below. Please take a seat; we’re going to start right away.

Cost of Clearing Cars in Nigeria 2023 Update

In 2014, the Nigerian government raised the cost of import duty. It also changed the rules for bringing vehicles into the nation. For example, you must complete an e-Form to import any item into the country. Except when you open it to import plants and machinery, this form is only valid for six months. In this scenario, the form is only valid for a year (12 months).

With everything out of the way, let’s look at the cost of car clearance in Nigeria. We’ve compiled a table summarizing the clearing fees for the most common vehicles transported into Nigeria. Following this chart, we shall delve deeper into the subject by selecting several vehicle brands and displaying their current clearing charges.

Factors Affecting Car Clearing Costs

Distance

This is a crucial factor in determining car clearing costs as it is how far apart is your destination and home. It can also consist of the travelling distance and the time invested on the road or sea trip.

The type of vehicle

The type of car can impact the car clearing costs. A long, high-end car model would imply more expensive clearing costs. For instance, a 2023 model of the Honda Ridgeline will cost more than its 2007 counterpart.

Method of transportation

There are many kinds of transportation used to forward a vehicle. This includes:

Overland transportation
Land closed transport
Shipping within the container
Sea transportation
Air transport

In general, land transport via trucks takes the least clearing cost. This transportation is usually for businesses and persons between neighbouring countries. Sea and air transport would take the most shipping costs.

Place of delivery

If you are clearing the car in a cosmopolitan Nigerian city like Lagos, then the shipping cost will be more expensive than, say, a rural area like Bayelsa.

Where To Clear Your Cars – Zonal Offices in Nigeria

Nigeria has two widely used ports where cars are being cleared. They are Tin Can port and Apapa port. You can only clear at the Seme border if you are clearing the car from Cotonou. There are some levies to settle at this border including the customs duty, the port charge and the clearing agent fee.

You can authenticate your car status at any of the four zonal centres of the Nigerian Customs Service. These are the offices where you settle the levy for your car’s uncleared status. The four zonal offices include:

Zone A Headquarters, No. 1 Harvey Road, Yaba, Lagos;
Zone B Headquarters, Kabala Doki, Kaduna;
Zone C Headquarters, Nigeria Ports Authority, Port Harcourt and;
Zone D Headquarters, Yelwa Tudu Road, Bauchi State.
