ANLCA Wants More Stakeholders Sensitised On PAAR
President, Association of
Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Prince Olayiwola Shittu, last Thursday urged stakeholders to continue to sensitise members on the efficiency of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR).
Shittu told journalists in Lagos that in spite of the hitches being experienced in the implementation, PAAR was still the best option to facilitate trade through the nation’s port.
According to him, the challenges which agents and importers are currently facing in processing the new customs e-clearance regime will soon be a thing of the past.
He said that PAAR was more effective and would leave up to the expectations of stakeholders with time.
The ANLCA president said that once the Nigeria Custom Service solved the problem of the establishment of the actual value of goods, the PAAR scheme would meet the expectation of stakeholders.
Meanwhile, the executives of ANLCA had warned its appointed officials to pay up levies for the building of the association’s national secretariat and its insurance policy.
The association said that the earlier deadline of Wednesday had been extended to January 20 to enable more people to pay their money.
The association said that about N50 million was expected to be raised for building of the secretariat and instituting an insurance policy.
