How do I dispute a Customs duty reclassification on my imported machinery in Nigeria?

Question

Nigeria Customs reclassified my machinery on arrival and the duty jumped significantly, even though my supplier’s documents show a different tariff heading. I’ve already paid part of the assessment to avoid demurrage, but I want to challenge the classification and recover any overpayment. What is the proper appeal process and timeline, and what documents will I need?

We will need all the documents relating to the transaction. Your supplier should provide you with it. We will write to the Nigeria Customs, demanding payment of the excess.
