SONCAP for used machines in Nigeria: what to prepare before import?

A client importing a used excavator for the first time asks whether SONCAP covers used equipment.
We find conflicting answers, some saying new goods only.
What documents does this route need, and are there cases that worked?

Used machines usually go via Form M plus a SONCAP exemption or special application; have the local agent confirm first.

Age and emissions are hard limits; an over-age machine will not enter even with papers.

Start documents a month ahead; discovering certificate requirements before shipment is cheaper than changing the sailing.
