Customs area controller, Compt. Mike Ugbagu, during a stakeholder meeting with bonded terminal operators warned that using bonded terminals to smuggle or evade duty is discouraged and would be frustrated by his unit.

According to him, the procedure of transiting goods from the Seaport to the bonded terminal is complete after the CAC has signed the transfer and the containers are escorted by the Customs Police or FOU operatives.

“The intention of the board of Customs to approve bonded warehouses is for ease of doing business and to decongest the ports. In the same vein, he maintained that the procedure of transiting goods from the mother port to the bonded terminal through the Customs Area Controller’s signed transire and escorted by the Customs Police or FOU as the case may have not changed.”

“Goods meant for the bonded terminals must be properly deposited at the bonded terminal. The goods can only be delivered to the owner after assessment, payment of duty, examination and release out of customs control before the goods will be delivered to the consignee.
