Built the way Customs actually assesses your vehicle
Most calculators add up percentages and call it duty. Different charges sit on different tax bases — so we build each one separately and show our work.
Every charge, separately
Duty, VAT, NHIL, GETFund, AU, ECOWAS, EXIM, examination fee, special import levy and overage penalty — each with its own rate and tax base.
Correct tax bases
VAT is applied to the duty-inclusive base of CIF + duty + NHIL + GETFund, not to CIF alone. Percentages are never blended together.
Customs value vs. what you paid
Customs may assess the manufacturer's original price after statutory depreciation. We show both, and never treat them as the same number.
USD and cedis
Every headline figure is shown in both currencies, with an exchange rate you can override for your own assessment date.
Fully auditable
An expandable step-by-step trail shows every formula and input, so you can reproduce the estimate by hand.
Versioned rate card
Rates, brackets, depreciation and overage schedules live in one dated configuration layer that tracks GRA changes.
Worked example
“I have a 2018 GLE 43, petrol, 2,996 cc. I paid $25,000 and shipping is $2,500.”
With an original manufacturer price of $70,500 and 50% statutory depreciation, the assessed FOB is $35,250.00 — well above what you paid. That is the number Customs works from.
