Key Ports for Frozen Seafood Import in Nigeria

Frozen seafood imports into Nigeria primarily enter through the country’s major ports: Apapa Port, Tin Can Island Port, and Port Harcourt Port. These are the key gateways for international shipments and require specialized handling to ensure that perishable goods like frozen seafood are properly processed and transported.

1. Apapa Port (Lagos)

Apapa Port is the largest and busiest port in Nigeria, handling a significant volume of frozen seafood imports. At Cargoburg, we have a specialized team on the ground at Apapa Port to ensure quick customs clearance and immediate evacuation of frozen seafood shipments. Our team works directly with customs officers to expedite the process and get your cargo onto refrigerated trucks without delay.

2. Tin Can Island Port (Lagos)

Tin Can Island Port is another important port in Lagos that handles significant quantities of imported frozen seafood. Cargoburg utilizes efficient logistics systems to streamline customs clearance at this port and to quickly transport your goods from the port to their destination.

3. Port Harcourt Port (Rivers State)

For businesses importing frozen seafood into the southern regions of Nigeria, Port Harcourt Port is a critical entry point. We handle shipments through this port with the same efficiency as at Lagos ports, ensuring that your frozen seafood is delivered to your customers without delay.

Cargoburg Logistics has developed a strong network with port authorities and terminal operators to ensure that frozen seafood shipments are processed swiftly, reducing port dwell time and the risk of spoilage.

The Cold Chain Logistics Process for Frozen Seafood

The transportation of frozen seafood is an intricate process that demands constant temperature control. At Cargoburg, we manage the entire cold chain logistics process to ensure that your goods remain within the ideal temperature range for frozen foods, typically between -18°C and -25°C. This guarantees that your seafood products maintain their quality and are ready for consumption when they reach the market.

1. Refrigerated Containers (Sea Freight)

Frozen seafood is typically transported to Nigeria via sea freight using refrigerated containers (also called reefers). These containers are designed to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the voyage. Cargoburg partners with trusted international shipping lines to provide reliable and timely sea freight services, ensuring that your frozen seafood remains fresh during the entire journey.

We also offer expedited customs clearance for refrigerated containers, so your frozen goods spend as little time as possible at the port.

2. Refrigerated Air Freight (For Urgent Shipments)

For businesses requiring faster delivery, air freight is the ideal option. Cargoburg Logistics offers refrigerated air freight services, using temperature-controlled cargo holds to ensure that your frozen seafood reaches Nigeria quickly without compromising quality.

Air freight is particularly beneficial for importing high-value frozen seafood or specialty products that need to be delivered quickly to meet market demand. Our team coordinates with airlines and customs to ensure seamless processing and delivery.

3. Refrigerated Trucks (Inland Transportation)

Once your frozen seafood clears customs at the port, it is transported to its final destination using refrigerated trucks. Our fleet of temperature-controlled trucks is designed to maintain the required temperature during transit, ensuring that your frozen goods arrive in pristine condition.

Whether your delivery is heading to Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt, Cargoburg’s refrigerated trucks ensure that your products reach your customers in a timely manner while maintaining freshness.

4. Cold Storage Solutions

In some cases, frozen seafood may require temporary storage before delivery. Cargoburg offers temperature-controlled warehouses strategically located in key areas of Lagos and Port Harcourt. These warehouses are equipped with freezing and chilling facilities to keep your products at the required temperature until they are ready for delivery.

Efficient Customs Clearance for Frozen Seafood Imports

One of the key challenges in importing frozen seafood into Nigeria is navigating the complex customs clearance process. Cargoburg Logistics simplifies this process with our team of experienced customs clearing agents who handle all aspects of documentation and regulatory compliance. This includes ensuring that your shipments meet all necessary NAFDAC and SONCAP certification requirements.

Key Customs Requirements for Frozen Seafood

  • NAFDAC Certification: Frozen seafood imports into Nigeria require NAFDAC certification, which ensures that the products meet the country’s food safety standards.

  • SONCAP (Standards Organization of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Program): Imported frozen seafood must meet SONCAP requirements, ensuring that the products comply with Nigerian standards for food safety and quality.

  • Import Permit: Depending on the type of frozen seafood, an import permit may be required for clearance through Nigerian customs.

Cargoburg handles all necessary paperwork for customs clearance, including obtaining the appropriate permits, licenses, and certifications to ensure that your goods are processed efficiently.
