The Nigerian Customs have a formula for calculating the cost of clearing a vehicle. This formula takes into consideration the age and size of the vehicle and other factors. The newer the vehicle, the more expensive. For instance, a 2008 Honda Accord will cost more to clear than a 2005 model.

Clearing a car from the Nigerian Ports can be quite stressful. It is adviceable to secure the services of a competent clearing agent. In fact what you pay to clear your car at the Port will depend largely on the experience and negotiating skills of your agent. A good agent can save you N20,000 to N50,000 in clearing costs. Below are the cars we have cleared from Lagos in the past few months and the costs. Your agent might charge more or less.

Note: All the vehicles below were shipped via the Roll On Roll Off (RORO) method.
