Expert Import Documentation for Lumber Shipments

When it comes to lumber imports, the paperwork and documentation are critical in ensuring that your goods pass smoothly through the Nigerian customs system. Cargoburg Logistics specializes in providing expert import documentation services for lumber shipments. Our approach ensures that every step is managed efficiently and that your goods are cleared on time, without unnecessary delays.

1. Pre-Import Documentation & Compliance

Before your lumber shipments even arrive at the port, Cargoburg works with you to ensure that the pre-import documentation is properly prepared. This includes obtaining essential documents such as:

• Form M: A mandatory document required for all imports, issued by an authorized bank.

• SONCAP (Standards Organization of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme): This is necessary to confirm that the lumber meets the quality standards set by the Nigerian government.

• PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report): This report must be generated before your goods arrive at the port, ensuring compliance with Nigerian regulations.

Our team assists in acquiring these documents efficiently, reducing the likelihood of delays at customs. We also ensure that HS codes are correctly applied to your lumber shipment, preventing misclassification that could lead to higher duties or penalties.

2. Customs Clearing Services

Once your lumber shipment arrives at the Nigerian port, the next step is the customs clearance process. Cargoburg’s experienced team of customs clearing agents ensures that your documentation is fully compliant with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) requirements. We work diligently to clear your goods, minimizing time spent at the port.

By leveraging our strong relationships with customs authorities and our knowledge of the latest regulations, we ensure that your lumber is cleared quickly and efficiently. Our services cover:

• Submission of all necessary documentation: This includes the Form M, SONCAP certificate, PAAR, and any other required paperwork.

• Tariff classification: We make sure that the HS codes are correct and that you pay the appropriate duties and taxes.

• Inspection coordination: In case your shipment is flagged for physical inspection, we manage the entire inspection process, ensuring minimal delays.

Cargoburg is committed to fast-track clearance, ensuring that your lumber shipments are processed in a timely manner.
