Clearing and Forwarding for Cocoa Bean Shipments in Nigeria

As Nigeria continues to rise as one of the world’s top cocoa exporters, the need for fast, compliant, and efficient clearing and forwarding services for cocoa bean shipments has never been more critical. At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we specialize in the end-to-end export logistics of agricultural commodities, with a particular focus on cocoa beans, which remain a cornerstone of Nigeria’s non-oil export economy.

As a licensed customs clearing agent and certified freight forwarder in Nigeria, Cargoburg has built a strong reputation for excellence, professionalism, and timely delivery. Our full-service logistics model includes customs clearing, sea and air freight forwarding, haulage, warehousing, marine logistics, and project cargo handling—making us your ideal logistics partner for cocoa exports.

From documentation to drayage, from warehouse to vessel loading, we take full ownership of your export process and ensure your cocoa beans move swiftly and smoothly from Nigeria to any global destination.

National Presence Across Nigeria’s Leading Export Terminals

Cargoburg Logistics Limited offers cocoa bean clearing and forwarding services across Nigeria’s major export hubs. Our operations span:

  • Lagos (Apapa Port and Tin Can Island Port)

  • Port Harcourt

  • Onne

  • Calabar

  • Warri

While most cocoa export shipments are routed through Lagos ports—primarily Apapa, due to its proximity to major producing states like Ondo, Ogun, Osun, and Cross River—we also offer full clearing and forwarding support from eastern ports such as Onne and Calabar. This regional access is especially valuable for exporters located farther from the Southwest, providing them with faster and more economical routes to global markets.

Complete Cocoa Export Logistics – What We Do

Cargoburg’s clearing and forwarding solution for cocoa bean shipments is designed to manage the entire cocoa export chain from origin to final delivery at the destination port. Here’s what’s included in our service:

1. Export Documentation Preparation

We assist exporters with all necessary documentation, including:

  • NEPC Registration & Export Certificate

  • Proforma and commercial invoices

  • Packing list

  • Phytosanitary certificate

  • Certificate of Origin

  • Bill of Lading preparation

  • Export customs declaration via the Nigerian Customs Integrated System (NICIS II)

By managing this critical phase, we ensure your shipment meets both Nigerian regulations and international requirements—eliminating the risk of clearance delays or cargo rejection.

2. Product Inspection & Regulatory Compliance

Cocoa beans are a regulated commodity and must be inspected by various agencies before export. We coordinate efficiently with:

  • Nigerian Customs Service (NCS)

  • Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON)

  • Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS)

  • Federal Produce Inspection Service (FPIS)

We arrange and supervise cargo inspections, quality testing, moisture content checks, and container stuffing—all while adhering to international buyer specifications and phytosanitary standards.

3. Terminal Handling and Port Logistics

We handle all port formalities including:

  • Booking of shipping slots

  • Container loading and verification

  • Weighbridge operations

  • Terminal and shipping line payments

  • Bill of lading endorsement

Cargoburg’s long-standing relationships with port authorities and terminal operators in Apapa, Tin Can, Onne, and Warri enable us to fast-track cargo movement and minimize dwell time, avoiding unnecessary demurrage or detention charges.

4. Freight Forwarding and Cargo Booking

Whether by sea or air (in smaller consignments), we arrange timely freight bookings with major global carriers. Our sea freight forwarding services include:

  • FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load)

  • Real-time cargo tracking

  • Competitive freight rates

  • Documentation follow-up until final delivery

We ensure your cocoa beans are handled according to best industry practices, including proper fumigation, bagging, and humidity protection during transit.

5. Warehousing and Inland Haulage

We offer short-term cocoa warehousing facilities near key port terminals in Lagos and Port Harcourt, ideal for exporters consolidating shipments before vessel departure. Our network of trucks and transporters ensures safe haulage from:

  • Ondo, Osun, Ogun, Oyo (Southwest Cocoa Belt)

  • Cross River, Abia, Akwa Ibom (Southeast and South-South)

  • Kwara, Kogi, Edo (North-Central and Mid-Belt)

Our drayage services are equipped to move containers efficiently within port environments, supporting faster loading and reduced logistics downtime.
