With years of hands-on experience, a deep understanding of Nigerian customs regulations, and a commitment to excellence, we ensure that your goods clear customs swiftly, legally, and cost-effectively.
Whether you’re importing raw materials, machinery, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods, navigating Nigeria’s customs procedures can be daunting.

No matter where your shipment arrives, our expert customs clearance agents are ready to facilitate smooth and efficient processing.
Why Customs Clearance in Nigeria Requires a Professional Agent
Nigeria’s import regulations are stringent, with frequent policy updates from the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), and other regulatory bodies. Failure to comply can lead to:
Delays in cargo release
Unnecessary storage demurrage charges
Confiscation of goods
Heavy fines or penalties
By partnering with Cargoburg Logistics, you avoid these risks. Our licensed Apapa Customs Clearance Agents ensure full compliance, accurate duty payments, and timely cargo release—saving you time, money, and stress.
Our Apapa Customs Clearance Process – How We Stand Out
1. Pre-Arrival Documentation & Compliance Check
Before your cargo arrives, we:
Verify all necessary import permits (Form M, PAAR, SONCAP, NAFDAC certification).
Ensure proper HS Code classification for accurate duty assessment.
Submit pre-clearance documents to Nigeria Customs to expedite processing.
2. Duty & Tax Assessment Optimization
Many importers overpay due to incorrect duty calculations. Our experts:
Apply the correct Customs Exchange Rate and Import Duty Tax.
Leverage free trade zone benefits where applicable.
Advise on duty exemptions for eligible industries (e.g., agriculture, healthcare).
3. Customs Examination & Cargo Release
Once your shipment arrives:
We schedule customs inspection (if required) without delays.
Handle terminal handling charges and storage fees to avoid demurrage.
Arrange final clearance and delivery to your preferred location.
4. Post-Clearance Support & Logistics
Our service doesn’t end at customs—we also provide:
Warehousing & storage solutions in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and other key cities.
Last-mile delivery via our trusted haulage partners.
Real-time cargo tracking for full transparency.
