IMPORTANT - Sallaum Lines - NIGERIA CUSTOMS SERVICE GUIDELINES ON DWELLING TIME FOR IMPORT & EXPORT

“Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has initiated new guidelines on dwelling time for cargo that remains on terminal grounds for more than 30 days after vessel discharge. Any vehicle that remains on terminal grounds for over 30 days becomes subject to abandonment and auction proceedings by NCS. To avoid vehicle abandonment and auction, you must make sure to take delivery of your car promptly after arrival. These new procedures are implemented and handled directly by Nigeria Customs and Sallaum Lines has no ability to stop auction proceedings. Please note that Forwarding Agent/NVOCC will remain responsible for all ocean freight and other charges even if a vehicle is considered abandoned by NCS."
