Clearing Services for Canned Foods in Nigeria

Efficient importation and customs clearance of canned foods in Nigeria demand thorough regulatory knowledge, precise documentation, and a strong logistics network.

Comprehensive Import Clearing Services for Canned Food

Importing canned foods comes with unique challenges. The product is perishable, regulated by multiple government bodies, and subject to strict import documentation. Cargoburg Logistics simplifies the entire process through its fully managed clearing service, covering:

1. Pre-Import Advisory and Compliance Checks

Before your shipment even leaves the port of origin, our experts assess your documentation and advise on:

  • Product classification under the Harmonized System (HS) code

  • NAFDAC registration and permits

  • SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria) requirements

  • Import Declaration Form (IDF) processing

  • Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) filing

Our goal is to prevent customs bottlenecks, product rejections, or unnecessary demurrage by ensuring your shipment meets all Nigerian import regulations before arrival.

2. Customs Clearance and NAFDAC Processing

Cargoburg handles all key documentation and regulatory requirements for canned foods, including:

  • Proforma Invoice and Commercial Invoice

  • Bill of Lading / Airway Bill

  • Packing List

  • Certificate of Origin

  • NAFDAC Product Registration / Import Permit

  • SONCAP (where applicable)

  • PAAR and IDF documentation

  • Duty calculation and payment

We liaise directly with customs officials, NAFDAC officers, and SON inspectors to speed up inspection, testing (if required), and clearance, minimizing delays and unexpected costs.

3. Quality Assurance and Food Safety Compliance

Because canned foods are consumable products, importers must comply with Nigerian food safety protocols. We ensure that all imported canned goods meet:

  • NAFDAC shelf-life and labeling standards

  • SON product packaging guidelines

  • Temperature and hygiene requirements during handling

  • Product safety through verified supply chain practices

Whether you’re importing canned tomatoes, beans, corn, sardines, tuna, soup concentrates, or fruit, we help ensure your products are accepted for distribution and sale in Nigeria.

4. Cargo Offloading, Inspection, and Warehousing

Upon clearance, we coordinate the physical offloading of cargo from the vessel, including:

  • Container unloading

  • Inspection coordination

  • Temporary storage in bonded or customs warehouses

  • Long-term warehousing in temperature-controlled facilities

Cargoburg operates warehousing hubs in Lagos, Onne, and Port Harcourt, with facilities optimized for storing food-grade products safely and hygienically.

5. Distribution and Haulage Services

Once cleared and stored, we provide reliable last-mile haulage and distribution services for canned food shipments across Nigeria, reaching:

  • Retail supermarkets

  • Distributors and wholesalers

  • Restaurants and food processing businesses

  • Government institutions and aid organizations
