How Cargoburg Ensures Superior Customs Compliance
At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, customs compliance is not just a service — it’s a commitment to protecting your business interests while facilitating hassle-free trade. Here’s how we ensure top-tier compliance:
1. Expert Classification and Valuation
Our customs experts meticulously classify your goods according to Nigeria Customs Service standards using the correct HS codes. Proper classification affects tariff rates and eligibility for exemptions or concessions, directly impacting your overall cost.
We also verify the declared value of goods to comply with Customs Valuation Agreements, helping avoid under- or over-declaration penalties.
2. Licensing and Regulatory Support
Navigating Nigeria’s regulatory agencies such as SONCAP, NAFDAC, and NAQS can be complex. Cargoburg supports clients in obtaining all necessary licenses, certificates, and permits to meet import requirements, including pre-shipment inspections and quality certifications.
3. Accurate and Timely Documentation
We prepare and submit all required documentation, including:
Form M applications
Bill of Lading and Airway Bills
Commercial Invoices and Packing Lists
Import/Export Permits
Certificates of Origin
Inspection Reports
By ensuring documents are error-free and submitted promptly, we prevent clearance delays and demurrage costs.
4. Duty and Tax Calculation & Payment
Cargoburg calculates the precise amount of customs duties, levies, and taxes applicable to your shipment, taking into account tariff schedules, exemptions, and trade agreements. We manage payment processes so that cargo clearance is seamless.
5. Risk Management and Audits
We conduct risk assessments to identify potential customs compliance issues before shipment arrival. Our team helps clients prepare for customs audits and inspections, ensuring all records and processes meet regulatory standards.
