Customs Clearance for Imported Electrical Panels and Switches Nigeria

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we provide industry-leading customs clearance services for imported electrical panels and switches across Nigeria’s major ports.

Whether you’re a contractor working on a construction project, an energy provider upgrading your network, or a manufacturer in need of control panels, Cargoburg offers seamless customs clearance services tailored to your business needs.

We are more than just a customs clearing agent. Cargoburg is a fully licensed freight forwarding company, freight broker, warehousing provider, and drayage carrier. Our integrated logistics services include air and sea freight forwarding, inland haulage, storage, project cargo handling, and marine logistics—ensuring that your imported electrical components reach their destination quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

Nationwide Service Across Nigeria’s Key Port Cities

Cargoburg Logistics delivers comprehensive customs clearance services at all major Nigerian ports, ensuring national reach and regional expertise. Our operations span the country’s busiest import hubs, including:

  • Lagos Port Complex

  • Tin Can Island Port

  • Port Harcourt Port

  • Onne Port

  • Calabar Port

  • Warri Port

Our presence in these strategic locations allows us to offer prompt and localized support for importers of electrical distribution panels, switchgear, lighting control systems, breaker boxes, and other related products. We ensure that no matter where your goods arrive, Cargoburg is ready to clear them with unmatched efficiency and compliance.

Specialized Customs Clearance for Electrical Panels and Switches

Electrical panels and switches are regulated imports, often requiring precise documentation, classification, and inspections before being released from Nigerian ports. At Cargoburg Logistics, we provide end-to-end customs brokerage services that include:

1. HS Code Classification and Duty Calculation

Electrical components such as panels and switches must be classified correctly under Nigerian Customs tariff schedules. Misclassification can lead to delays, penalties, or overpayment of duties. Our experienced brokers ensure your cargo is accurately categorized based on technical specifications and intended use.

We also handle the calculation and payment of:

  • Import Duties

  • Value Added Tax (VAT)

  • CISS Fees (Comprehensive Import Supervision Scheme)

  • ECOWAS Trade Liberalization Scheme (ETLS) charges, if applicable

2. SONCAP and Other Regulatory Compliance

The Standards Organisation of Nigeria Conformity Assessment Programme (SONCAP) regulates the importation of electrical goods. Electrical panels and switches are typically subject to SONCAP, which requires:

  • Product Certificate (PC) from the exporting country

  • SONCAP Certificate issued before arrival

  • Verification of compliance with Nigerian electrical safety standards

Cargoburg handles all SON-related processes, including interfacing with accredited certification agencies and ensuring that all necessary pre-import documentation is in place. We also support clients with NAFDAC, NESREA, or NERC approvals if required for specific types of industrial electrical systems.

3. Form M and Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR)

For all commercial imports into Nigeria, the Central Bank mandates the submission of a Form M, followed by the generation of a PAAR from Nigeria Customs. Cargoburg assists with the end-to-end coordination of this process, ensuring that all documentation is submitted correctly and your PAAR is processed on time, enabling smooth clearance.

4. Terminal Handling and Delivery

After your electrical panels and switches are cleared, our services don’t stop at the port. Cargoburg also provides:

  • Container de-stuffing and inspection

  • Inland transportation to warehouses or project sites

  • Inventory management and secure warehousing if required

Whether your cargo is destined for Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, or any other location in Nigeria, our logistics team ensures that your cleared cargo reaches its destination swiftly.
