BONIFACE ANIEBOLAM READS RIOT ACT TO FELLOW FREIGHT FORWARDERS OVER IMPROPER DOCUMENTATION FOR IMPORTS, EXPORTS

Boniface Aniebolam
Freight Forward practitioners across the country have been urged to comply with the requirements for proper documentation and description of imports and exports in line with Customs operations.The Nigerian Customs Service has issued a review of guidelines on import and export procedures expected to become effective from July 11th.

Hmmm!!! Folks, let us say the truth and shame the devil. Many Nigerian non-oil products exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process of exporting agricultural commodities and solid minerals to foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not trained on export operations, management, documentations and the best methods of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to lose money to foreigners in the course of export business. Exporters, would you like to keep on being scammed? Why don’t you get a practical manual that explains the stages of export trade from processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign buyers? It explains export operations, export management, export documentations and methods of payment in export trade? Yes, it is a contemporary step-by-step guide to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get it, click on this link: http://www.tectono-business.com/2016/02/contemporary-step-by-step-guide-to.html

The Founder, National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Boniface Aniebonam, who sounded the note of warning to members that in law, wrong description of imports for Customs declaration is in breach of Section 46, 47, and 161 of the Customs and Excise Management 2004 as amended.

The inherent penalty provided in the legislation included but not limited to seizure of goods and prosecution of offenders in a law court and five years imprisonment without an option of fine.

Aniebonam in a statement said it is legitimate and lawful that under destination inspection, the declarant is at liberty to make genuine declaration for Customs purposes, irrespective of the material content of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report as may have been uploaded to the PAAR Unit of the Customs by the consignees.

He said, “The point herein contained is to advise practitioners to ask questions with a view to obtaining the actual content of laden containers from the importers/exporters before making declaration in the single entry document of the Customs.

“In some of our interaction with the Customs administration, we discovered that the service is highly disturbed at the moment over the non-compliant attitude of practitioners. Aside from the inherent revenue risks and delays associated with clearing goods out of Customs control, the Comptroller General of Customs is not happy that practitioners are messing up Customs systems reliability and integrity”.

“It is therefore very necessary that we must build up integrity in our operations and conduct as professionals. This development as it were, if not stopped, is a breach of the new order of encouraging ease of doing business in the Customs ports and border locations.” 


Hmmm!!! Folks, have you ever imagined how the financial status of your firm will be when more than 20,000 CEOs and other key decision makers of blue-chip corporations pay for your products and services or even give you very juicy deals.
