In most cases, members of the public patronize smuggled goods because they believed that imported goods are more superior to locally made goods. Also, the corruption in our country today added to the causes of smuggling activities into the country. This is due to the injustice, bribery, kinship relation (i.e. I’m.) and so no in our borders.

ITS MENACE TO THE NATION AND METHOD USED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO CURB SMUGGLING ACTIVITIES:

A.)  IT”S MENACE TO THE NATION:

Smuggling is a very big illness in the society. It has crushed many problems to the government and the people the result is that when these items are smuggled into Nigeria, they capture a good part of the market, this reducing such of regally improved goods. Import duties government is lost by way of irregular and reduced importation by legitimate importers.

The profit are high and many more people are enlisted in to the business especially in the period of scaring unemployment. The smugglers income is not known, the tax officers is unable to levy appropriate tax on this income. Government looses the l

legitimate taxes due for it from actual volume of business.

Smugglers also weaken our bargaining power on foreign goods, as smugglers export large amount of money in our country and this flood the foreign market whit our currency.

It also causes inflation because, when some goods like food items are smuggled out constantly, there is scarcity. The result is high prices are the common man suffers its example, food items like cocoa or oil like petroleum.

Smuggling Has also contributed to many industries folding up and to some they have difficulties in selling to break _ even point.1986,  AS AT THE YEAR THE MINISTER OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS LTD. COL. SHAGAYA. Announced on television broad cast that about #30 million (thirty million naira ) is lost yearly on smuggling by hard drug pusher. It has been discovered also that #2 million (two million naira ) is lost yearly by raw materials smuggling such as coffee. Government is loosing a lot financially to smugglers who evade tax which could have been used for national development such as building of road, school, electricity etc for the public. It contributed to unemployment in two ways:  the firm not being able to made enough states in order to employ more workers.

Government is loosing there revenue through, forgone duty on import contraband goods,  loss of revenue from reduced profit  and excise taxes, to the mover and sales revenue of  production, loss of revenue from personal income tax as  refundable and retrenchment reduced the smuggling.

The effect of smuggling in long run might be worst if step are not taken curb out of smuggling.
