Clearing of Refrigerated Containers and Perishable Goods in Nigeria

When it comes to importing perishable goods into Nigeria, timing, precision, and compliance with regulatory standards are absolutely critical. Perishable items—such as fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, dairy products, pharmaceuticals, and flowers—require special handling throughout the logistics process to preserve their quality and safety.

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we are proud to be a leading expert in clearing refrigerated containers and perishable goods in Nigeria. As a fully licensed customs clearing agent, freight forwarder, and logistics service provider, we specialize in helping businesses import temperature-sensitive cargo safely, quickly, and in full compliance with Nigerian import regulations. Our dedicated team ensures that your refrigerated shipments move swiftly through customs and are delivered in optimal condition, helping you avoid costly delays and spoilage.

From customs documentation to freight forwarding, inspection coordination, warehousing, and final distribution, Cargoburg Logistics offers a seamless, end-to-end solution for all your perishable import needs.

  • Port Harcourt Port

  • Onne Port

  • Warri Port

At these critical gateways, we have established strong working relationships with the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS), and other relevant agencies. This enables us to expedite the customs clearing process for perishable goods and reduce the risks associated with delays.

With our extensive port presence and operational expertise, Cargoburg Logistics is your trusted partner for the smooth, compliant, and timely clearing of refrigerated containers in Nigeria.

Our Expertise in Perishable Goods Clearance

Perishable imports require more than basic customs clearance. They demand a specialized approach to documentation, inspection, storage, and transportation. Cargoburg Logistics brings a wealth of expertise to every stage of the process.

Comprehensive Documentation Handling

To successfully clear perishable goods, proper documentation is non-negotiable. We assist our clients in preparing and securing all necessary documents, including:

  • Bill of Lading (B/L)

  • Commercial Invoice and Packing List

  • Import Permits from Relevant Authorities (e.g., NAFDAC, NAQS, FMARD)

  • Phytosanitary Certificates (for plants, fruits, and vegetables)

  • Health Certificates (for animal-origin products like meat and seafood)

  • Temperature Logs and Compliance Certifications

  • Customs Declaration Forms

  • Duty and Tax Assessments

We ensure that your documentation is accurate, complete, and aligned with Nigerian import laws to prevent clearance delays.

Fast-Track Inspection Coordination

Perishable goods are typically subject to physical inspection by customs, NAFDAC, NAQS, and other bodies to verify compliance with safety and quality standards. Our team handles:

  • Pre-Arrival Coordination: Preparing for necessary inspections before cargo arrival to minimize delays.

  • On-Site Inspection Management: Working with port officials to schedule and expedite inspections.

  • Compliance Support: Addressing any concerns during the inspection process swiftly to ensure immediate release.

By managing the inspection process closely, we help maintain the integrity of your perishable cargo and reduce the time spent at the port.

Expertise in Reefer Container Handling

A refrigerated container (reefer) requires constant temperature control to maintain product quality. At Cargoburg Logistics, we:

  • Ensure that reefer containers are plugged into reliable power sources at the port to maintain required temperatures.

  • Monitor and supervise the condition of reefers during customs processing.

  • Arrange immediate transportation upon release to avoid exposure to ambient temperatures.

Our specialized reefer handling services protect your temperature-sensitive goods from start to finish.
