  • Onne Port – A key gateway for importers serving Southeast and South-South regions of Nigeria.

  • Port Harcourt Port – Ideal for servicing the Eastern and Niger Delta markets.

Specialized Customs Brokerage for Bottled Water Products

Importing bottled water into Nigeria requires thorough understanding of the country’s food safety regulations, tariff classifications, and port procedures. Cargoburg specializes in managing the documentation and clearance processes that are unique to water and beverage imports. Our team handles everything from pre-arrival paperwork to container release and inland transportation.

Here’s what sets Cargoburg apart in handling customs brokerage for bottled water:

1. Pre-Arrival Consultation and Compliance Preparation

We start by guiding importers through the pre-import compliance requirements for food and beverage items, including:

  • Form M processing via the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)

  • PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report) issuance

  • Accurate HS Code selection for bottled water (based on carbonated/non-carbonated status)

  • Import documentation verification (Invoice, Packing List, Health Certificate, Certificate of Origin, SONCAP)

We also ensure compliance with NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control) regulations for food-grade imports. This includes submitting relevant documentation and samples for registration and import permit approvals.

2. Licensed Customs Clearing Services

As a licensed customs clearing agent, we offer professional representation at Nigerian ports, ensuring:

  • Quick and accurate customs declaration

  • Coordination of container inspection and release

  • Engagement with Nigeria Customs Service, SON, and NAFDAC officials

  • Proper tariff classification and tax payment processing

  • Resolution of any valuation or duty disputes

Cargoburg reduces clearance times by streamlining these processes through electronic documentation submission and leveraging our strong relationships with port officials.

3. Freight Forwarding & Port Coordination

Whether you are shipping bottled water in full container loads (FCL) or consolidated shipments (LCL), we provide reliable freight forwarding in Nigeria:

  • Sea and air freight booking and coordination

  • Shipping documentation management (Bill of Lading, manifest corrections, etc.)

  • Port terminal coordination and cargo tracking

  • Demurrage and detention prevention

We work with global carriers to ensure your bottled water shipments reach Nigerian shores on time and in perfect condition.

4. Regulatory Handling – NAFDAC & SON Support

For bottled water, meeting NAFDAC and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) guidelines is mandatory. We help importers manage:

  • NAFDAC import permit processing

  • Product registration (if applicable)

  • Label verification for compliance

  • Inspection coordination and result follow-up

We also assist with SONCAP Certification and Product Certificate (PC) validation to ensure smooth customs processing and avoid shipment rejections.

5. Warehousing and Inland Transportation

Once cleared, we offer secure warehousing and haulage services:

  • Food-grade warehousing near Apapa, Tin Can, and Onne ports

  • FIFO inventory management for best-before-date tracking

  • Delivery to warehouses, distribution centers, or retail locations

  • Use of GPS-monitored and temperature-friendly trucks for inland distribution
