Specialized Customs Processing for Upholstery Imports

Upholstery imports involve sensitive materials that often include textiles, foams, leathers, and wood frames. These goods typically face strict inspection standards and regulatory classifications, requiring a logistics partner with the technical know-how to manage the nuances.

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we handle upholstery imports with expert care, ensuring:

1. Proper Classification & Documentation

Upholstery goods can span multiple HS codes based on composition, structure, and intended use (residential, commercial, automotive). Our licensed agents ensure correct tariff classification to avoid overcharges, penalties, or shipment holds. We handle every necessary document, including:

• Form M registration

• PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report)

• Bill of Lading

• SONCAP (Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme)

• Commercial invoices

• Packing lists

• Product certifications

2. Regulatory Compliance

We work closely with the Nigerian Customs Service, SON, and NAFDAC, ensuring your goods meet all Nigerian standards. Upholstery items often require inspection for flammability standards, foam density, textile compliance, and material safety. Our team ensures your cargo complies fully, allowing quick clearance and avoiding costly detentions.

3. Duty Calculation & Tax Settlement

Cargoburg helps clients understand and pay the correct import duties, VAT, and associated levies. We prevent surprises by offering transparent cost estimations and assisting with all fiscal obligations.

4. Real-Time Coordination with Customs

Our agents are physically present at the ports to manage inspections, respond to customs queries, and follow up with terminal operators. We keep your cargo moving by managing these interactions daily and efficiently.

5. Safe Haulage & Delivery

After clearance, Cargoburg provides inland transportation, whether to showrooms, warehouses, or distribution centers. Upholstered furniture requires careful handling — our fleet is equipped to transport sensitive goods, ensuring zero damage.

6. Warehousing & Last-Mile Solutions

Need temporary storage or inventory management? Our secure warehouses in Lagos, Onne, and Port Harcourt are ideal for holding goods until final delivery. We also assist with repackaging, labeling, and distribution if needed.
