1. Complete Customs Clearance Process
The process of clearing generators and power equipment can involve multiple steps, including:
Pre-arrival clearance: We begin the process well before your shipment arrives at the port, ensuring that all necessary documentation, such as the PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report) and Form M for commercial imports, is prepared.
Classification and valuation: We accurately classify your equipment according to Nigerian Customs tariffs to determine the correct duties and taxes applicable.
Duties and taxes: Cargoburg Logistics ensures that all applicable duties and taxes are paid, reducing the risk of penalties or delays during clearance.
Delivery to final destination: Once cleared, we facilitate the transportation of your generators and power equipment to your preferred delivery location, whether it’s a warehouse, project site, or business location.
2. Port Handling and De-stuffing Services
Cargoburg Logistics also provides professional port handling services at Nigeria’s key ports, including Lagos Port (Apapa and Tin Can Island), Port Harcourt, and Onne Port. Our team ensures that your generators and power equipment are carefully offloaded from containers, safely moved through the port, and prepared for final transportation.
We manage the de-stuffing of containers, making sure that all items are accurately documented, sorted, and ready for delivery. Whether your power equipment is in standard containers or oversized shipments, we have the equipment and expertise to handle all types of cargo.
3. NAFDAC and SON Certification
Certain power equipment, especially those related to solar energy systems or electrical machinery, may require certification from regulatory bodies such as the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) or the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON).
Cargoburg Logistics assists with the NAFDAC registration process for power equipment that falls under their regulations, ensuring that your goods meet local safety standards. Additionally, we help with the SON certification process for items that require conformity to Nigerian industrial standards, such as electrical machinery, power generators, and energy storage devices.
4. Handling of Oversized and Heavy Equipment
Generators and power equipment often come in large or heavy units that require special handling. We have the expertise and equipment to handle oversized cargo, including:
Heavy-duty trucks for transporting large generators and power systems.
Low-bed trailers and flatbed trucks for oversized equipment that cannot fit into standard containers.
Crane services for lifting and unloading heavy or bulky items at the port or at the final destination.
Cargoburg Logistics ensures that even your most challenging power equipment is safely and securely handled.
5. Bonded Warehouse Services
If your generators and power equipment need to be stored before clearing or final delivery, we provide bonded warehouse services. Our bonded warehouses allow you to store your equipment securely within the port area while you await final clearance and the completion of other formalities.
With bonded warehousing, you can defer the payment of duties until your goods are ready for distribution, saving you time and resources. Our warehouses are equipped with the necessary infrastructure to store your power equipment, ensuring it is safe from damage and theft.
