About 60 containers belonging to Josepdam Port Service, operator of terminal A, at the Tin Can Island Port complex have been trapped for three years over

disagreement between the Nigeria Customs Service and its supervisory ministry, Federal Ministry of Finance.

LEADERSHIP investigation has showed that the Ministry of Finance has granted Josepdam waiver on some agricultural equipment imported into the country, but Customs Service has refused to release the containers, thereby, accruing storage charges at other terminals and demurrage on the containers.

According to him, the Finance Ministry had asked the Customs to release the cargoes since they are agricultural items to be used for conveying Wheat, malt and other items into the silos. Kuteyi said, “they want us to pay duty on items that are already waived by the ministry of finance and I can tell you that the items are agricultural items, they are for conveying Wheat, malt and other items into the silos that we are about to install.
