Buying or importing a car in Nigeria

Nigeria buyers need a practical landed-cost view because Lagos port costs, clearing delays, FX, and age eligibility can change the answer quickly.

Hidden costs to budget for: Storage, terminal handling, broker fees, valuation differences, and registration buffers often matter as much as headline duty.

Age and compliance risk: Vehicles older than the active passenger-vehicle age rule should be treated as ineligible unless a verified exception applies.
