The Federal Operations Unit (FOU) Zone ‘A’ of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ikeja has warned importers and their clearing agents against making false declarations in their documentation as the Unit has vowed to tighten its noose through intelligence-driven operations against underpaying duties and any form of concealment by any economic saboteur.
The Controller of the Unit, Mohammed Shuaibu also emphasised the importance of complying with global best practices and established rules of engagement in maritime and shipping operations to prevent the seizure of their goods.
Shuaibu gave the warning during a courtesy visit by the members of the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN), to his office in Lagos.
Shuaibu, an anti-smuggling czar, promised to deploy his wealth of experience to navigate the complexities of the Unit and bring to bear intelligence-driven operations rather than stopping containers incessantly on the highways.
