Quick answer: importing a used Volkswagen Passat into Nigeria lands at roughly $12,150–$21,600 all-in — FOB China $7,000–$14,000 plus freight, 35%+ levy and clearance.

Landed cost: $12,150–$21,600 = FOB + ocean freight (~$2,200) + 35%+ levy + port clearance.

Import duty: expect 35%+ levy, usually calculated on the CIF value rather than the invoice price. Ask us for a worked CIF breakdown for the exact car.

Age limit: Nigeria caps imported used cars at 12 years from first registration — we check the exact plate/registration date before quoting.

Steering side — read this first: Nigeria is a left-hand-drive (LHD) market, so every unit we stock is LHD and ready to register.

Clearance port: cars clear at Lagos Apapa.

Our Passat stock: 29 units, model years 2012–2025, 8,000–227,500 km, 2.0T 186PS L4. Send the target year and quantity on WhatsApp for a confirmed quote.
