Specialized Clearance for Drilling Rig Imports
Drilling rigs are highly specialized equipment, often classified under complex Harmonized System (HS) codes and subject to strict regulatory scrutiny. Cargoburg provides a tailored clearance solution designed specifically for these imports, reducing downtime and eliminating costly delays.
The Cargoburg process includes:
End-to-end customs documentation including Form M processing, Proforma Invoice verification, SONCAP certification (where required), and PAAR generation.
HS Code accuracy to ensure correct duty calculation and avoid post-clearance audits.
Liaison with relevant agencies such as the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) where applicable.
Rig lifting and offloading using certified cargo handling equipment and experienced rigging teams.
Overland haulage solutions using low-bed trailers or modular transporters for wide or high-load components.
Bonded and secured warehousing for staging rigs prior to deployment or reassembly at project sites.
Cargoburg’s customs brokerage team is equipped to handle any type of rig—land rigs, water well rigs, offshore rigs, or mobile drilling units—with the technical expertise and administrative accuracy that ensures safe, legal, and timely clearance.
Why Cargoburg is the Smart Choice for Drilling Rig Imports
The successful clearance and delivery of drilling rigs depends on far more than paperwork. It requires coordination, industry insight, and logistical muscle. Cargoburg brings these advantages and more to every rig shipment.
1. Project-Specific Logistics Planning
Cargoburg understands that no two rig shipments are the same. That’s why it offers a tailored logistics plan that factors in site location, rig dimensions, customs classification, and delivery timelines. Whether it’s a single rig or a multi-shipment drilling package, the company coordinates it with precision.
2. Compliance Confidence
As a licensed customs clearing agent in Nigeria, Cargoburg ensures full compliance with the latest import policies, tariff changes, and agency requirements. Clients benefit from peace of mind knowing their drilling rigs will be cleared without regulatory setbacks.
3. On-Time Port Clearance
Time is money in the energy and construction industries. Cargoburg’s in-port specialists work around the clock to fast-track customs clearance, container release, and onward haulage—minimizing delays, storage fees, and demurrage.
4. Expert Equipment Handling
Drilling rigs often require partial dismantling, specialized cargo packaging, or roll-on/roll-off handling. Cargoburg works with trained rigging professionals and certified port handlers to ensure safe movement from vessel to delivery truck.
5. Real-Time Tracking and Communication
Transparency is key. Cargoburg provides real-time shipment updates, customs status reports, and delivery progress—keeping clients fully informed and empowered throughout the import process.
6. End-to-End Logistics Support
Beyond clearance, Cargoburg offers full freight forwarding, transportation, and warehousing support. This includes port-to-site delivery, heavy-lift capabilities, bonded warehousing, and distribution—creating a single-point solution for even the most complex drilling rig imports.
