Today's post will cover the cost of clearing Imported Cars in Nigeria, now most cars are basically imported from Cotonu and those that are either brought in via other foreign countries are usually accidental or damage vehicles which are bought off from auction sites or bid at from their respective countries. When such vehicles arrives in Nigeria they are refurbished or repaired and resold in auto dealer's shops for expensive cost.
For an average Nigerian buying an imported used car, well known as Tokunbo cars is more like buying a new car. As most believe in their maintenance of tokunbo cars and most get a good deal on mileage and neatness of the car upholstery (interiors). But what turns most down is the cost of buying such vehicles from dealer shops.
In a move to make Nigerians patronize locally manufactured vehicle, the Nigerian Government raised the tariff on imported cars. This was done in 2014 with the aim of creating employment and a wide range of technologically advanced manufacturing opportunities.
Even with this move, Nigeria still lags behind in the car manufacturing industry (which is different from cars being assembled in Nigeria) with exception to Innoson who cannot satisfy Nigeria cars demand for foreign built cars spec, durability and efficiency. This means that, 99% of cars we use in Nigeria are all made abroad and imported into the country.
Clearing imported cars from the Nigerian ports and borders does not come cheap. You must pay the clearance fee to the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), before you can be allowed to bring your car into the country.
