The Lease Agreement between the Shipper and the Nigerian imprter, describing the equipment, the lease perid, the lease cst and ther lease cnditins. The Brchures /technical manuals describing the item(s) t be imprted, with technical specificatins.

A phtcpy f imprter s certificate f incrpratin A letter frm the imprter authrizing MSCM t apply fr the temprary imprtatin permit

9 A cvering letter frm MSCM t the Custms applying fr the TIP n behalf f the imprter 2. APPLICATION When all the required dcuments mentined abve are received, MSCM will send a frmal applicatin t the Custms Service and will physically send a representative t Abuja t fllw up n the applicatin. 3. The institutin f the custm BOND Fr all shipments n temprary imprtatin, there is a need t prvide a bnd during the perid f the TIP. The amunt f the bnd is written n the TI permit and it is calculated as shwn belw. The imprter is expected t raise this bnd with a Nigerian bank and it is valid fr a year r fr the perid f the first TIP. MSCM will register the bnd within the custm area thrugh which the shipment will be imprted. 4. SPARES We suggest that all spares that will be used during the perid the shipment will be in Nigeria shuld be imprted with the carg if pssible. This will prevent additin imprt csts and avidable delays. 5. EXTENSION

10 The temprary imprt permit r the TIP is fr ne year in the first instance. Tw different extensins f 6 mnths each is allwed after the expiratin f the initial permit. The maximum ttal perid f a temprary imprtatin is tw years and extensin beynd that perid is nt guaranteed. Extensins are granted nly n the cnditin that the existing apprval has nt expired. 6. Apprximate Time Line: TIP Applicatin in Abuja: tw weeks frm the date f applicatin Bnd registratin: 7 days frm the date the bnd if received frm the custmer Bnd Cancellatin: Three weeks after vessel has sailed. Abve time lines depend n timely submissin and crrect declaratin f all dcuments. Temprary imprtatin summarized prcess Three stages are invlved in the TI apprval and cancellatin prcess 1. Temprary Imprtatin Applicatin and Apprval This is the first stage and it starts with the submissin f an fficial applicatin letter t the custm in Abuja. All relevant dcuments are submitted with the applicatin 2. Bnd Registratin with the Nigerian Custm

11 The bnd that is instituted with the bank has t be registered with the custm befre the shipment r vessel is allwed int Nigeria. This is t ensure that the carg r vessel is nt cnverted t permanent imprt and if this happens, the bnd will serve as duty payment fr the imprt and as penalty fr the cnversin. 3. Temprary Imprtatin and Bnd Cancellatin At the expiratin f the TIP, the custms team will be invited t inspect the shipment fr its utward clearance. When this is dne and shipment leaves, the prcess f TI cancellatin begins. This is necessary fr the bnd t be released frm the bank t the custmer.
