Specialized Customs Processing for Frozen Food Imports

Frozen food imports are governed by strict customs and food safety regulations in Nigeria, including oversight by agencies like the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), NAFDAC (National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control), and the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS). Compliance with these regulations requires a partner who understands not just logistics but also food-grade documentation, inspection readiness, and the nuances of perishables importation.

Cargoburg specializes in customs processing for frozen food imports, with services designed to mitigate risks, reduce clearance time, and protect the quality of your products. Here’s how Cargoburg stands out:

1. Pre-Import Advisory

Before your frozen food leaves the country of origin, Cargoburg assists with Form M processing, HS code classification, SONCAP documentation (if applicable), and relevant food import permits. This front-loaded approach prevents clearance delays upon arrival.

2. Customs Brokerage & Food Safety Compliance

Once your shipment arrives at the port, the Cargoburg team manages every aspect of customs documentation, including the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), duty payments, and terminal processing. The team works closely with NAFDAC and NAQS to arrange for sanitary inspections and product testing, ensuring that your goods meet all national health and safety requirements.

3. Cold Chain Preservation

Frozen goods are extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Cargoburg ensures that your containers are prioritized during port handling and transported using refrigerated trucks or reefer containers to maintain cold chain integrity throughout the clearance and delivery process.

4. Port-to-Warehouse Delivery

Once cleared, goods are moved to destination warehouses using well-maintained, temperature-controlled vehicles. If you require short-term cold storage, Cargoburg offers warehousing solutions with frozen storage capacity that complies with food preservation standards.

This fully managed process—from arrival to delivery—ensures that frozen meats, fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and prepared meals are imported with minimal hassle and zero compromise on quality.
