Customs Orders Slash on Imported Vehicle.
Gistlover reports, Nigerians would from next week start enjoying mouthwatering slash on imported vehicles.
The development was made public by the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali.
During an interview with newsmen on Tuesday, January 26, Ali revealed that the service is awaiting official communication from the Finance Ministry to fully effect the development.
He disclosed that the vehicle tariff reduction is contained in the 2020 Finance Act and initiated by the NCS to ease the cost of transportation in Nigeria. “I have been torn apart by many people criticizing the new tariff, saying I used my connection to get it done but this is in the interest of Nigeria,” he said.
He added that it is now a law and that the service is only waiting for the finance minister to give them a formal conveyance of the Act.
“Once it is released, we will commence full implementation immediately. We are only hoping that by next week, it will become operational,” Ali reitereated.
