Cost Of Clearing Mercedes Benz Cars In Nigeria 2024

Clearing a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria can be quite expensive due to the various fees and charges involved in the clearance process. The cost of clearing a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria can range from ₦400,000 or more, depending on several factors.

One of the primary factors that determine the cost of clearing a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria is the value of the car. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) uses the value of the car to determine the import duty that will be charged. The higher the value of the car, the higher the import duty will be.

Another factor that determines the cost of clearing a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria is the year of manufacture. The older the car, the lower the customs duty and other charges. On the other hand, a newer car will attract a higher customs duty and other charges.

The model and engine capacity of the car can also affect the cost of clearing a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria. Cars with higher engine capacity typically attract higher import duties, excise duties, and other charges. Similarly, certain models of Mercedes Benz cars may be subject to higher import duties and other charges than others.

Additional fees that may apply to the clearance of a Mercedes Benz car in Nigeria include port charges, shipping charges, terminal handling charges, and other miscellaneous charges.

It’s important to note that the cost of clearing a car in Nigeria can be significant, so it’s important to factor this cost into your overall budget when considering importing a car into Nigeria.

Additionally, it’s important to comply with all customs regulations and requirements to avoid any delays or additional fees.

How To Clear Mercedes Benz Cars In Nigeria

Clearing a Mercedes Benz car at a Nigerian port follows the same process as clearing any other car at the port. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Engage the services of a licensed clearing agent: To clear a Mercedes Benz car at a Nigerian port, you need to engage the services of a licensed customs clearing agent who is registered with the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS). The clearing agent will handle the documentation, processing, and payment of customs duties and other charges on your behalf.
2. Obtain the necessary documents: You will need to provide the clearing agent with the original bill of lading, customs duty assessment, pro forma invoice, and other relevant documents such as the vehicle registration certificate and purchase receipt.
3. Pay customs duties and other charges: The clearing agent will calculate the customs duty and other charges applicable to your Mercedes Benz car based on its value, year of manufacture, engine capacity, and other factors. You will be required to make payment of these charges to the clearing agent, who will then pay on your behalf to the NCS.
4. Obtain clearance from customs: After payment of customs duties and other charges, the clearing agent will submit the necessary documents to the NCS for verification and clearance. The NCS will inspect the Mercedes Benz car to ensure that it meets the required standards and issue a clearance certificate if everything is in order.
5. Obtain port release: After receiving the clearance certificate from the NCS, the clearing agent will obtain the port release documents, which will allow the Mercedes Benz car to be released from the port and transported to its destination.

It’s important to note that the cost of clearing a Mercedes Benz car at a Nigerian port can vary depending on several factors such as the year, model, and engine capacity of the car, as well as the exchange rate of the Nigerian Naira against foreign currencies like the US Dollar.

Therefore, it’s important to engage the services of a reliable and experienced clearing agent who can help you navigate the process and ensure that your Mercedes Benz car is cleared in a timely and hassle-free manner.
