Service Description: Import Documentation for New Car Shipments

Bringing new vehicles into Nigeria requires detailed attention to import regulations and a deep understanding of customs procedures. Cargoburg Logistics Limited specializes in managing all aspects of import documentation for new car shipments, ensuring compliance with Nigerian law while minimizing clearance times and costs.

Comprehensive Document Management

Importing a new car into Nigeria involves several mandatory documents, including:

• Bill of Lading (BL)

• Commercial Invoice

• Packing List

• Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR)

• Certificate of Origin

• Form M

• Insurance Certificate

Cargoburg ensures that every document required for customs clearance is meticulously prepared, verified, and submitted on time. Our experienced team liaises directly with shipping companies, regulatory bodies, and customs officials to ensure your shipment proceeds without unnecessary delays.

Preparation of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR)

The Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) is a critical document for vehicle imports into Nigeria. Cargoburg handles the preparation and submission of PAAR requests, ensuring all entries are accurate and meet the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) standards. Proper PAAR management speeds up the customs clearance process and avoids penalties for misinformation.

Form M Processing and Management

All imports into Nigeria require a Form M, which must be processed and approved by authorized banks and the Nigeria Customs Service before shipment. Cargoburg provides expert guidance in generating, processing, and submitting Form M, ensuring your documentation aligns perfectly with Nigerian import regulations.

Real-Time Monitoring and Updates

Cargoburg’s advanced tracking and reporting systems provide clients with real-time updates on the status of their documentation and shipments. Our proactive communication ensures that you remain informed at every stage of your new car import process.

Customs Clearance and Duty Advisory

Importing a new vehicle involves calculating and paying appropriate import duties, levies, and taxes. Cargoburg offers advisory services to guide clients on duty costs based on vehicle type, engine size, and customs valuation rates. Our in-depth knowledge of applicable tariffs ensures full transparency and cost efficiency.

Coordination with Relevant Regulatory Authorities

New car imports often require compliance checks from bodies like the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC). Cargoburg manages all interactions with these regulatory authorities, ensuring your shipment meets all required standards before final clearance.
