Duty is an estimate based on published rate ranges applied to CIF value. Both countries assess against their own customs valuation, and rates change. Confirm the current figure with your clearing agent before you commit to a price — it is the largest variable in your landed cost.

Why the Coolray works in Nigeria

The Coolray is the entry point into our range for Nigerian buyers, and it suits the Lagos ride-hailing and small-fleet market well: modern styling, 177 hp from the 1.5T, and 6-7 L/100 km fuel consumption that matters a great deal to an operator running a car all day.

There is an important caveat specific to Nigeria. Duty here runs roughly 50-70% of CIF, so the cheap FOB price is diluted — an $8,889 car does not land at $8,889 plus freight, it lands near $17,837. If your customer’s budget is genuinely tight, the honest move is to model the landed number first rather than quoting off the FOB price.

What your buyer is comparing it against

At $17,000-19,000 landed in Lagos, the alternative is a 2013-2015 VW Tiguan or 2014 Ford Escape with 150,000 km-plus, no inspection report and higher fuel consumption. The Escape’s naturally aspirated engine in particular will cost your buyer more every week than the Coolray’s 1.5T.

Practical notes for Nigeria

Form M and PAAR pre-clearance documentation is required — your agent files it, we supply the invoice and shipping set it references.

We quote to Apapa by default, or Tin Can Island at similar rates, 30-40 days from Nansha.

Geely’s West African service presence is thinner than Chery’s or GWM’s. For a dealer with their own workshop this is a non-issue; for a private buyer expecting dealer support, say so up front.

Common questions

Q: How much does it cost to import a used Geely Coolray to Nigeria? A: Around $17,837 total landed for a 2023 1.5T DCT Platinum: $8,888.89 FOB Nansha, $2,400 freight to Lagos, and roughly $6,548 in duty and taxes. The duty estimate is based on approximately 50-70% of CIF and is the number worth verifying with your clearing agent before you order.

Q: Why does an $8,889 car land at $17,837? A: Duty. Freight is $2,400 of the difference; the rest is Nigeria’s combined import charges calculated on CIF value at Customs’ own valuation. This is why we publish landed estimates rather than just FOB prices.

Q: Is it left-hand drive? A: Yes. Nigeria drives on the right, so LHD is correct, and every unit we export is LHD as built in China.
