The Process of Customs Clearance for Fashion and Apparel Imports

Understanding the customs clearance process is crucial for ensuring your fashion and apparel goods pass smoothly through Nigeria’s borders. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how Cargoburg handles the process:

1. Pre-Importation Documentation

Before shipping your fashion goods, we assist with preparing the required documentation, such as invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and other documents that are crucial for customs clearance.

2. Form M Registration

To begin the import process, we help you register your import under Form M, which is required by the Central Bank of Nigeria for any goods being imported into the country. This document helps regulate the foreign exchange needed for the import.

3. Shipping and Arrival of Goods

Once your goods are shipped and arrive at a Nigerian port or airport, we manage the importation process, ensuring your products are properly tagged, classified, and ready for customs processing.

4. Customs Documentation and PAAR

Our customs brokers will handle the processing of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), which is required by the Nigerian Customs Service before your goods can be cleared. We ensure the accuracy of your PAAR and submit all necessary documents for clearance.

5. Customs Duty and Tax Assessment

Once the PAAR is obtained, we calculate any applicable customs duties, taxes, and levies. Fashion and apparel products are often subject to specific duties based on their classification, and we ensure that all calculations are accurate to avoid overpaying or underpaying duties.

6. Customs Clearance

With all the required documentation and duties in place, we submit your goods to the Nigerian Customs Service for clearance. Once cleared, we facilitate the safe and timely release of your goods.

7. Delivery and Distribution

After customs clearance, we offer transportation and distribution services to deliver your fashion goods to your desired location. Whether it’s a warehouse, retail store, or other distribution point, we ensure that your products reach their destination in optimal condition.
