 <\/p>\n

In my previous article, I discussed the new customs import duties benchmark<\/a>. Today, I will analyze the new customs import duties <\/span>benchmark for 20ft containers of goods to Lagos seaports (Apapa, Tincan Island, Kirikiri, Lekki Deep-sea port, and Onne ports. As I said the last time, you need to understand how the Nigerian trade system works. The benchmark does not mean that the benchmark is the exact amount importers will pay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For clarification, these import duties benchmarks do not mean that is the actual amount you will pay. It means, no matter the amount of your cargoes, that is the minimum value you will declare. Even if your cargo does not meet the minimum charges (I mean if the value of charges to pay is less than the benchmark), you are still expected to pay the same amount.<\/span><\/p>\n
