IMPORTANT Notice - New Nigerian Customs Policy - Auction of Vehicles at All Terminals after 60 days

Please note, per Sallaum, “Please be advised that as per new customs regulations in Lagos, Nigerian Customs have begun auctioning cargo and vehicles that are left uncleared 60 days after arrival.

This means that units that have arrived in March 2025 or earlier and have not been cleared are now being listed for auction. Customs has instructed all terminals to block delivery on any unit that remains uncleared after 60 days.

This intensified auction process is being implemented across all terminals in Lagos. This new policy will impact all customers who fail to clear and take delivery of their vehicles within a 60-day period.

We advise you to inform your customers/consignees accordingly and to work towards clearing all shipments in a timely manner to avoid Nigerian Customs from seizing and auctioning vehicles.”
