How Many Days Will It Take To Clear My Car from Tincan / Apapa Port

It takes two to three days to clear Car out of Nigeria sea ports.


Roro Shipping to Nigeria
Let me use Lagos Tincan Island port, particularly, PTML terminal from where 70% of roro shipments arrived, and from where major auto-clearing through Nigerian custom take place as case study.

Clearing using PTML take three days maximum without any obstruction or strike action by customs, other government agency and or independent operators that are also major players in clearing activities.



Clearing a rollroll car is the easiest and fastest way of accomplishing a good delivery.

Custom clearing process includes;
1. Capturing of Bill of Laden at the customs approve DTI caffe
2. Approach custom valuation unit to calculate Car value as agreed and recommended by the custom.
3. Make payment of duty due to custom at designated banks
4. Examination- Custom will designate her officer to examine imported car / vehicle
5. Back to custom office- Get all required signatures for releasing through units of custom
6. Get Exit from shipping company-
a) Shipping & Terminal company- Upon collection of exit from shipping company, you'll pay debit notes issued by the shipping / terminal company, and collect receipt for such payment.
7. Return to custom final endorsement and  confirmation that you're cleared by shipping and terminal company.
8. And finally, return to shipping company to collect TDO (Terminal Delivery Order)

Importers are expected to pickup their vehicle(s) between the three free days given, usually after the departure of the vessel.
