From Japan to Jakande

You want a car to arrive in your compound with Nigerian plates, the right papers and your bank account still intact. Most clearing agents do their job, but their job is to get the car out of the port, not to teach you the process. The less you understand, the more control they have.

This book walks you through every step, from browsing auction sites at home to driving the car away from the port. You learn how to choose a car online, how the auction process works, what shipping and transit involve, and what happens at Tin Can, Apapa and Onne. You see how duty payment and Customs work, and how SON and FRSC registration fit in.

Final chapters cover getting the car from the port to your doorstep, your first week of ownership, and a complete import timeline. It starts from zero, skips no steps, and puts you in a position to ask your agent the right questions.
