To know how to calculate customs duty for cars, using the Nigeria customs tariff book or Nigeria customs valuation for cars below, there are values to be considered:
1. The dollar value of your car:
First, the Nigerian customs generate these values via the VIN or Chassis number of each vehicle, it is an automated system. It is a generated fixed cost price of the car you intend to clear.
These values seldom change or do not change at all. If any change occurs in the coming times, trust us, The Clearing Agent will give you updated values always.
2. The Exchange rate (which is currently ₦425 and is subject to change at intervals):
Furthermore, this value is subject to change.
While this exchange rate is subject to change at intervals, (depending on the strength of ₦) we will keep you informed of any change in exchange rate thus, affecting the cost of clearing cars in Nigeria.
3. The percentage of duty to be paid (usually 20% import duty and 20% Levy for vehicles):
In addition, these are fixed values for cars and vehicles, other industrial vehicles may attract lower CET.
You can know more about this info here https://www.customs.gov.ng/hscode/resulthscode.php?TYPE=KEY&HSCODE=8703 or view the CET tariff table below.
4. The 236 trigger, to get the total amount due to be paid to the Nigeria customs:
Hence, the 138 trigger is a shortcode that helps us calculate other values of the total duty. Values like LEVY, VAT, ETL, SUR.
Furthermore, points 1 to 4 will give you the total value of your car due to be paid to Nigerian Customs at any designated bank.
in addition, you may want to know how much it will cost you to clear a car or other vehicle.
Points 5 and 6 below will give you the total cost of clearing a car in Nigeria
5. Shipping and terminal charges:
Furthermore, shipping and terminal charges vary. Cars, SUVs, and trucks’ approximate costs are ₦50,000 ₦60,000 ₦70,000 Respectively.
6. Agency fee or clearing charges:
In addition, they may fix this or be negotiable depending on the clearing agency you are dealing with.

3. Then, multiply it by the percentage of duty to be paid (20%).
Most noteworthy, the first step should give you the duty of your vehicle. This is called surface duty.
Hence, to get the total duty which includes LEVY, VAT, SUR, and ETL, here’s where the 236 trigger comes in:
4. Multiply the total Surface duty by 236.
In addition, this will give you the total duty you will pay to the customs via designated banks in Nigeria.

Thanks for these writeup series. They are very informative and impressive.
But while your CET table indicates up to 75% aggregate (35 + 5 + 35, or 20 + 5 + 50) for some line items, the actual Customs spreadsheet doesn’t reflect such. It is usually 40% (5 + 35, or 35 + 5). Kindly recheck, reconfirm and clarify please. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your comments.
Used Vehicles pay 35% Duty and other taxes (Levy exempted)
New Vehicles pay 35% Duty 35% Levy and other taxes
