Am so agitated inside me that I do not know how to put this and I need urgent clarifications.

I want to import some goods into the country, went through soncap website and downloaded the list of exempted products. part of my goods are on the exempted while part are not so I applied to soncap for the "not exempted" product and was made to pay 100K for a product not up to $50,000.

On getting to bank for form M processing with a copy of the exempted list where my goods fall into, am made to understand that I require exemption permit from soncap and now son is telling me to go pay almost half a million naira for this same product. Am dumbfounded as I am writing this, the issue of duty, vat and other payments during clearing are not yet included in this whole deal and am wondering if this is the correct thing to do or not.

What exactly is soncap supposed to do? Is their standard just in that money they are getting? Why have exempted products list and yet payment is required again?

Please anybody who happens to know how this works should kindly advise me asap.

Funny, am facing similar challenges, trying to bring an agricultural material for personal use.
