Handling high-volume, high-value construction imports like porcelain tiles demands more than basic logistics coordination.

That’s exactly what importers across the country receive when they partner with Cargoburg Logistics Limited, a leading force in Nigeria’s freight forwarding and customs brokerage industry.

Known for its professionalism and excellence, Cargoburg Logistics Limited operates as a licensed customs clearing and forwarding agency, freight broker, warehouse operator, and drayage carrier.

Nationwide Port Coverage: Strategic Reach at Every Major Entry Point

Nigeria’s expansive coastline and trade routes rely on several major ports for import processing. To ensure seamless clearance and freight forwarding, Cargoburg offers dedicated services at all the country’s leading port cities:

• Lagos – Apapa Port and Tin Can Island Port serve as West Africa’s busiest container terminals and remain central to tile imports.

• Port Harcourt – A growing hub for imports into southeastern Nigeria.

• Onne – Efficient for bulk cargo and containerized imports into the Niger Delta region.

• Calabar – Strategic access point for businesses in the South-South and Central regions.

• Warri – Ideal for importers targeting Delta State and the central southern corridor.

Each of these ports comes with unique customs procedures, port authority requirements, and operational bottlenecks. Cargoburg’s local teams at every location know how to move porcelain tile shipments through quickly, legally, and without unnecessary costs.

Specialized Clearance for Porcelain Tile Imports

Porcelain tiles are a top-tier construction product due to their durability, aesthetics, and broad use in residential and commercial buildings. As demand rises, importers face increasing pressure to ensure consistent supply without delays, damage, or customs issues.

Cargoburg specializes in customs clearance for porcelain tile imports with a deep understanding of Nigeria’s regulatory environment. The process begins with pre-shipment documentation, including the Form M, pro forma invoices, SONCAP certification, and the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR). These documents are critical in determining duties, product admissibility, and port procedures.

Upon arrival at any Nigerian port, our team handles:

• Correct tariff classification of tile imports under the Harmonized System (HS) code to ensure fair duty assessment.

• Coordination with the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) for inspection and verification.

• Liaison with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) for duty payment, cargo examination, and release authorization.

• Booking and scheduling of haulage to final destinations.

• Resolution of queries, alerts, or post-clearance audits.

With fragile cargo like tiles, even minor delays or mismanagement can result in breakages and losses. Cargoburg minimizes risk by implementing strict packaging checks, proper handling protocols, and direct engagement with all port stakeholders.

Freight Forwarding That Supports Your Supply Chain

Many porcelain tile importers source products from countries such as Spain, China, Italy, Turkey, and India. To bridge the gap between international manufacturers and Nigerian destinations, freight forwarding must be both global in capability and local in execution.

Cargoburg offers full-scale freight forwarding in Nigeria, covering every phase of the shipping journey:

• Origin Services: We arrange pickup from suppliers’ factories or warehouses, confirm container stuffing, verify packing lists, and manage export clearance at the origin.

• Shipping Coordination: From Full Container Loads (FCL) to Less than Container Loads (LCL), we choose optimal carriers, routes, and schedules to match your timelines.

• Port Handling in Nigeria: Upon arrival, we coordinate unloading, container movement, and swift clearance from terminals.

• Final Delivery: Haulage to warehouses, retail distribution points, or project construction sites is executed with full transparency and tracking.

This end-to-end control reduces fragmentation in your logistics, helping your porcelain tile shipments arrive intact, on time, and within budget.
