Free instant estimate. Updated daily with live FX rates. Includes vehicle, shipping, import duty, the NAC levy, VAT, the customs operations charge, and the AFRIKARS service fee.
Engine size is not assumed for this example, so the 2% green tax on engines over 2,000cc is not included — the figure above is a floor for a large-engine car.
This example assumes the car is in Dubai itself, so no inland trucking is included above. The interactive calculator below adds an average-trip estimate for it; pick the car's state there for a distance-based figure.
AFRIKARS clears, ships, and delivers it. From $2,870.
Skip the broker chain. Pick a clearing agent, lock in shipping with funds held in escrow, and track every step from Dubai to your driveway.

Trucking the car to the port is a real cost on every deal. Pick the car's state for a distance-based figure; leave it and we assume an average trip.
Engines above 2.0L carry Nigeria's 2% green levy. Picking a size puts it in the total instead of a footnote. It's on the engine cover, or in the listing's specs.

How much does it cost to ship a 2014 Ford F-150 from Dubai to Tema?⌄
The total landed cost is approximately $13,615 (about ₦19,741,750). This includes the vehicle price, ocean freight ($2,600), Nigerian import duty ($1,352), the NAC levy ($338), VAT, the customs operations charge and the other customs charges. Marine insurance is optional and only added if you ask for it.
How is the customs duty calculated?⌄
Nigerian Customs charges 20% import duty plus a separate 5% National Automotive Council (NAC) levy — the NAC levy was cut from 15% to 5% on 1 July 2026 — and a surcharge of 7% of the duty. Both are assessed on the value Customs itself publishes for the vehicle, plus insurance and freight, NOT on the price you paid: on a salvage car the published value is usually the higher of the two. Engines over 2,000cc also carry a 2% green tax, and vehicles over 12 years old an additional 35% levy. AFRIKARS clears in-house, so there is no separate clearing-agent fee.
How long does shipping take?⌄
Ocean freight from Dubai to Tema takes 25–35 days. Add 3–7 days for clearing at the port. AFRIKARS coordinates door-to-port logistics on both ends.
Can I use AFRIKARS if I already bought the car?⌄
Yes. AFRIKARS handles shipping, customs and clearing as standalone services. We clear on our own customs licence, and coordinate from pickup to delivery, with funds held in escrow by a licensed partner and released as each step is verified.
