Cargoburg’s Expertise in Air Cargo Customs Clearance

Air cargo clearance is a high-pressure operation where delays cost money and missed deadlines disrupt supply chains. At Cargoburg, we streamline the process from the moment your air waybill is issued until your goods are delivered to your doorstep.

Here’s what sets us apart as air cargo customs clearance specialists in Lagos:

1. Pre-Arrival Customs Documentation

We start working before your cargo arrives. Our team ensures all necessary import documentation is prepared and submitted in advance. This includes:

  • Form M initiation and approval

  • SONCAP or NAFDAC permits (where required)

  • Air waybill and packing list verification

  • Proforma and final commercial invoices

  • Duty estimation and valuation review

  • Pre-arrival assessment report (PAAR) processing

  • e-Manifest coordination with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)

By handling these steps upfront, we help clients avoid detention charges and unnecessary delays at MMIA’s cargo terminals.

2. On-Ground Customs Clearance at MMIA Lagos

Once the shipment lands, our licensed clearing agents are present at MMIA cargo terminals to handle the physical inspection, documentation submission, and cargo release process.

Our services include:

  • Terminal documentation processing (NAHCO and SAHCO)

  • Cargo scanning and customs inspection coordination

  • Duty and levy payments on behalf of the client

  • Clearance of regulated goods requiring NAFDAC, SON, or NESREA involvement

  • Prompt cargo pickup and delivery planning

We maintain excellent relationships with airline handlers, customs officers, and regulatory agencies, which helps facilitate quicker cargo releases and streamlined inspections.

3. Specialized Clearance for Time-Sensitive or Regulated Imports

Cargoburg specializes in clearing complex or regulated cargo such as:

  • Pharmaceuticals

  • Medical devices

  • Telecommunications and IT equipment

  • Perishables (fruits, vegetables, seafood)

  • Dangerous goods (DGR air cargo)

  • Luxury items (jewelry, watches, electronics)

These categories require specific licenses, permits, and temperature-sensitive or secure handling. We manage all compliance and physical logistics aspects to ensure your air cargo clears accurately and on time.
