The Apapa Area 1 Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, has said that 100 percent examination on imported cargoes into the country was not possible.

This was disclosed by the ASYCUDA project manager, (APM) of the command, Yusuf Malata, at a monthly stakeholders’ meeting held at the command headquarters, Lagos.

Speaking earlier, the Customs area comptroller, Willy Egbudin, decried why most importers still falsely declare consignment despite campaign against it at the command.

“Most of the time we talk of transparency and honesty in cargo declaration I was thinking by now, we should have all been complying with it and if we are not complying then we are not doing our work.

“We should advise our individual importers to understand why it is necessary to declare what they are importing, it will be wrong for someone to declare tyre as raw materials and we know CEMA empowers us to make seizure of such items and for you to make seizure it is not a good thing,” he said.
