We prepare your import documents, assess duty on the right HS code and get your goods released at the Lagos seaports and Murtala Muhammed Airport, then deliver them to you.
Clearing in Nigeria involves several agencies and documents. We manage the process so your goods are not left waiting.
We classify your goods correctly, because the HS code decides the duty you pay and the permits you need.
We guide you through opening Form M with your bank before the goods ship, and check the details match your invoice.
We follow up the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report with Nigeria Customs so clearing can start as soon as your cargo lands.
We calculate the duty and taxes due, show them as a separate line in your quote and handle payment.
Food, drugs, cosmetics and many manufactured goods need NAFDAC or SONCAP documents. We tell you early what applies.
We attend examination, secure release from the terminal and truck your goods to your address.
Having these ready is the single biggest factor in how quickly your goods clear.
Missing something? Send what you have and we will tell you what else is needed.
