Nationwide Port Coverage for Yarn and Thread Imports

Nigeria’s textile sector is served by multiple key ports, each with its own regulatory nuances and operational environment. To support importers effectively, Cargoburg offers yarn and thread import clearance services across all major Nigerian seaports, ensuring unmatched accessibility and operational consistency.

We operate in:

• Lagos (Apapa Port) – Nigeria’s busiest and most sophisticated port for commercial imports.

• Tin Can Island Port – A key hub for LCL and FCL cargoes, located adjacent to Apapa.

• Port Harcourt Port – Serving the southern and eastern textile clusters.

• Onne Port – Ideal for importers targeting the South-South and South-East regions.

• Calabar Port – Supporting textile traders and manufacturers in the Cross River region.

• Warri Port – Providing access to Delta and the Niger-Delta’s growing fashion economy.

By maintaining operational offices and dedicated personnel in these ports, we ensure each location provides the same high standards of import clearing services, with centralized management and local execution.

Seamless Clearance for Yarn and Thread Shipments

Yarn and thread may seem like straightforward commodities, but in Nigeria’s complex import environment, their clearance requires detailed expertise. The variety of HS codes, fiber content classifications, and packaging types means importers must work with professionals who understand the legal and logistical intricacies of textile-related cargo.

At Cargoburg, we specialize in handling:

• Cotton yarns

• Polyester yarns

• Nylon threads

• Embroidery threads

• Knitting yarns

• Sewing threads

• Bulk industrial threads and twines

These products can be sensitive to moisture, pressure, and temperature. Delays at port or improper handling can damage cargo and affect quality. That’s why we provide end-to-end logistics support designed specifically for textile raw materials.

Here’s how our clearance process works:

1. Pre-Shipment Advisory and Compliance Setup

We offer pre-shipment consultation services, helping you gather the right documents and plan your import process. Our team will assist with:

• HS code classification for yarn/thread types

• Sourcing of SONCAP and NAFDAC approvals where required

• Proforma invoice verification

• Form M registration and validation

• PAAR processing

• Shipping line coordination

This foundation ensures that when your shipment arrives, everything is in order for fast-track clearance.

2. Air and Sea Freight Forwarding

For urgent thread consignments, we offer air freight services through Lagos and Port Harcourt airports. For larger shipments of yarns, sea freight via FCL and LCL gives importers a cost-effective option. We work with major global carriers and textile-exporting hubs such as:

• China

• India

• Pakistan

• Turkey

• Vietnam

• Bangladesh

• Italy

We manage your cargo’s journey from factory floor to your warehouse.

3. Licensed Customs Clearance

Cargoburg’s licensed clearing agents work directly with Nigerian Customs Services (NCS) to:

• Ensure correct tariff application

• Prevent classification errors

• Avoid overpayment of duties

• Clear your cargo with minimal inspection delays

We handle Single Goods Declaration (SGD) forms, manifest matching, and any customs queries efficiently, reducing clearance times and costs.

4. Port Operations and Handling

Our experienced on-ground teams manage port logistics, from terminal container retrieval to pallet offloading, inventory checks, and port documentation. We ensure that yarn/thread cartons are handled delicately to avoid damage.

5. Drayage and Inland Haulage

We operate a fleet of well-maintained trucks and have access to third-party hauliers to transport your cleared goods safely and on time to destinations in:

• Lagos mainland and island

• Aba textile markets

• Kano and Kaduna textile zones

• Abuja and other Nigerian cities

6. Warehousing and Inventory Services

Yarn and thread need dry, ventilated, and pest-free storage. Cargoburg provides secure warehousing solutions near port terminals and in urban logistics zones. We also offer inventory management, batch labeling, and repackaging support where required.
