Expertise in Agricultural Goods Customs Clearing

Agricultural goods face specific regulations and guidelines when entering Nigeria. These regulations ensure that imported goods are safe for consumption, free from pests or diseases, and comply with standards set by relevant government bodies such as the Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). At Cargoburg Logistics, we have the expertise to handle these regulations and provide smooth customs clearing for a wide range of agricultural goods, from grains and vegetables to seeds and animal products.

Documentation and Compliance

Agricultural goods require a variety of documents and certifications for customs clearance. These documents serve as proof that the goods are safe, high-quality, and compliant with Nigerian import regulations. We assist in obtaining and processing these necessary documents:

Import Permits: All agricultural goods imported into Nigeria must be cleared with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD) and NAQS. We handle the necessary documentation to ensure compliance with these agencies and streamline the permit acquisition process.

NAQS Certificates: For agricultural products like grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, and animal products, NAQS certificates are required to ensure that these goods meet Nigeria’s import health and safety standards. Cargoburg Logistics assists in acquiring the required NAQS Phytosanitary Certificates or Animal Health Certificates.

Health and Safety Certifications: For food products and animal-related agricultural goods, NAFDAC certifications and health clearance certificates are required. Our team helps facilitate the acquisition of these certifications, ensuring that your goods comply with all health and safety standards.

Customs Declarations: Our experienced customs team prepares all the necessary declarations, classifications, and paperwork needed to clear your agricultural goods through Nigerian Customs. This includes HS code classification, duties, taxes, and import quotas, which are essential for smooth customs clearance.

By handling all of the above documents and certifications, Cargoburg Logistics ensures that your agricultural imports are compliant with Nigerian regulations, making the customs process much quicker and more efficient.

Inspection and Quarantine Procedures

Agricultural goods often undergo inspections by regulatory bodies such as NAQS and Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) to ensure they are free from pests, diseases, and contaminants. Cargoburg Logistics works closely with these authorities to coordinate inspections and facilitate clearance.

NAQS Inspection: The Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service inspects agricultural goods to ensure they are free from harmful pests and diseases. We coordinate the inspection process and help expedite the approval for clearance.

Phytosanitary and Animal Health Inspections: For plant and animal products, phytosanitary and animal health inspections are essential. Cargoburg Logistics ensures that these inspections are completed promptly, allowing your agricultural goods to clear customs without delay.

Cargo Sampling and Testing: In some cases, Nigerian authorities may require samples of agricultural goods to be tested for pesticides, chemicals, or other contaminants. We manage the coordination of these tests and ensure that your goods meet the required safety standards.

With our experience and established relationships with regulatory authorities, we help ensure that your agricultural imports pass inspection smoothly and efficiently.

Once your agricultural products are cleared through customs, the next step is to ensure they are transported to their final destination in a timely and safe manner. Cargoburg Logistics offers comprehensive freight forwarding services for agricultural goods, including both sea and air transport.
