Mr Joseph Attah, Public Relations Officer, NCS, made this known on Sunday in Abuja.
He said that interested Nigerians who wanted to be part of the system should approach the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to acquire the Tax Identification Number (TIN).
He said: “I told you earlier that the electronic auction platform is ready and undergoing a User Acceptability Test (UAT).
“In a matter of days, it is going to be officially deployed for Nigerians.
“Those who want to be part of this system should approach the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to acquire the tax Identification Number (TIN). That is what it takes, they should get that ready.”
Speaking on the bonded terminal licence, Attah said that the Service was ready to license operators who secured a N50 million bank bond to operate a vehicle terminal.
He said that the Service was ready to begin issuance of licence, adding that there were already positive responses from the public.
“A lot of people have indicated interest and the process is ongoing.
“ NCS is ready for the issuance of licences to people who are interested.
“What it takes is for interested persons to acquire a big land, fence it and have Customs section within; a workstation with connectivity and computer system that can easily connect to the Customs server.
“Such person will also be required to enter into a bank bond of N50 million.
“He or she will now apply through the Customs Area Comptroller of the command that he wants to site the terminal to the Comptroller General,” he said.
