Customs Brokerage for Pharmaceuticals via Air Freight Lagos

When time-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments arrive at Nigerian airports, every minute counts — and compliance is non-negotiable. At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we specialize in customs brokerage for pharmaceuticals via air freight in Lagos, delivering speed, precision, and full regulatory compliance for your critical medical cargo.

As a trusted import clearing agent in Nigeria, Cargoburg offers specialized services for pharmaceutical imports arriving through Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA). From documentation and compliance to inspection coordination and delivery, we streamline the entire customs process — so your products reach hospitals, pharmacies, and labs without delays or regulatory risks.

Our team understands the stakes of pharmaceutical logistics. Whether you’re importing vaccines, insulin, diagnostic kits, or life-saving medications, we ensure that your shipments meet the exacting standards of NAFDAC, SON, and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) — while maintaining integrity in handling, storage, and documentation.

Nationwide Support with a Focus on Lagos and Major Ports

While our pharmaceutical customs brokerage is centered on Lagos — particularly MMIA, Nigeria’s busiest air cargo gateway — we also offer clearing and forwarding services across major logistics hubs including:

  • Tin Can Island

  • Apapa Port

  • Onne Port (Rivers State)

  • Port Harcourt

  • Warri

  • Calabar

For businesses operating in multiple cities or handling multi-modal logistics, Cargoburg ensures consistent service quality, no matter where your cargo lands.

Cargoburg’s Expertise in Pharmaceutical Air Freight Customs Brokerage

Cargoburg is more than just a clearing agent — we’re a licensed customs clearing and forwarding agency, freight forwarder, freight broker, warehouse operator, and drayage carrier, offering a one-stop solution for pharmaceutical import logistics in Nigeria.

Here’s how we ensure success for our clients in the pharmaceutical sector:

1. Pre-Arrival Compliance Coordination

Pharmaceuticals are among the most strictly regulated imports in Nigeria. To avoid costly delays, our process begins before the shipment arrives:

  • Form M initiation and submission

  • Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) management

  • NAFDAC import permit application and tracking

  • SONCAP certification (where required)

  • Tariff classification (HS code) review for proper duty calculation

  • Documentation vetting (AWB, invoice, packing list, MSDS, COA, etc.)

Our compliance officers work closely with your procurement and shipping teams to prepare and validate all documents ahead of arrival, ensuring the fastest possible clearance.

2. MMIA-Based Licensed Customs Brokers for Fast Track Release

At MMIA Lagos, our licensed customs clearing agents handle urgent pharmaceutical imports with care and speed. We provide:

  • Same-day document submission to Nigeria Customs and NAFDAC

  • Scheduling of mandatory physical inspections or scanning

  • Fast-track NAFDAC sampling and clearance

  • Duty payment and release coordination

  • Temperature-sensitive cargo handling and prioritized terminal release

We work directly with terminal operators (NAHCO, SAHCO) and government agencies to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce dwell time, and protect the integrity of your sensitive pharmaceutical goods.

3. Controlled Handling and Cold Chain Support

Pharmaceutical logistics requires more than paperwork — it requires proper handling. At Cargoburg, we ensure:

  • Cold chain monitoring and handling at terminals

  • Escorted pickup and delivery from airport cargo warehouses

  • Coordination with bonded warehouses for temporary storage

  • Use of temperature-controlled vehicles, where required

We ensure your pharmaceutical products are moved safely, securely, and in accordance with international handling protocols.

4. End-to-End Clearance and Delivery

After release from MMIA, we don’t stop there. Our team coordinates last-mile delivery to:

  • Hospital and medical facilities

  • Distributors and warehouses

  • Pharmacies and healthcare centers

  • Laboratory testing facilities

We offer same-day or next-day delivery in Lagos and across other Nigerian cities, depending on urgency.
