Customs Sets To Resume VIN Implementation

VIN displays the car’s unique features, specifications and manufacturer. The VIN can be used to track recalls, registrations, warranty claims, thefts and insurance coverage.

The Vehicle Inspection Number (VIN) Valuations is expected to take off on Friday as the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) plans a sensitization programme.

The Service had in a letter to the stakeholders said that “In line with the planned nationwide deployment of the VIN Valuation on Friday, 20 May 2022, and the need to continually enhance the platform for optimal performance and service delivery.”

The sensitisation which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 19th May 2022 at 11:00 am is to hold at Apapa command conference hall.

The Deputy Controller (DC) Admin, A Y. Odusanya on behalf of the Customs Area Controller (CAC) requested that clearing agents should send their representatives to attend insisting that the session would benefit everyone and further clarify any questions.

Recall that the electronic clearing system had generated furore recently over accusations of over-invoicing and non-compliance with relevant conventions.
