Subject: RE:INFORMATION

i write to give u information in regards to wat we discussed corcerning fork
lift dal.upon my findings it was confirmed a viable business worth of being
ventured .duties paied on its importations were in different categorie4s
depending on the tonnage of the equipment.
actually this equipment enjoyed lower duty tariff considerd from ferderal
government of nigeria as it feel into agricultual machinery which had little
tariff or duty freed.dis categories wee as ff;8 tons,10 tons, 12 tons etc
moreover the charges is inversely proportional to the cost over there.again
der is a document formally called C.R.I. now called RAA is important with
bill of laden for easy clearing from the nigeria poort RAA is imporant.
however any FORK LIFT capable of lifting containers is mostly preferred.
while looking 4ward to yur quick response,renmained bless
