Nigeria Car Import Cost Guide

Use the Nigeria Car Landed Cost Calculator when you need a budget that goes beyond duty. Start with purchase price, FOB, CIF, or make/model/year, then add Apapa or Tin Can port costs, clearing, storage risk, inland delivery, registration, and FX sensitivity.

Nigeria is one of the markets where old blog posts become dangerous fastest. Duty assumptions, automotive policy changes, and line-specific charges can make a seemingly neat estimate wrong enough to derail a purchase.

What users miss

• Terminal handling and release documents.
• Clearing agent and inspection costs.
• Demurrage after free storage days.
• Vehicle policy pack changes around FOB-based charges and levies.
• Compliance warning for passenger vehicles above 12 years.

Official sources to check before paying

The estimate is not an official customs assessment. Save the quote, export a PDF, and confirm the current rule pack with Nigeria Customs or a licensed clearing agent before paying.
