The customs clearance process for medical devices in Lagos involves several key stages. Below, we outline the typical steps involved in clearing your medical devices through Nigerian Customs:

1. Pre-Importation Consultation

Before your medical devices are shipped to Lagos, Cargoburg Logistics offers a pre-importation consultation. During this stage, we review your shipment details and advise you on the necessary documentation, including NAFDAC approval, import permits, and certificates of conformity. This step is crucial for preparing your shipment to meet all regulatory requirements.

Several essential documents are required to clear medical devices through Nigerian Customs, including:

  • Commercial Invoice: A document listing the type, quantity, and value of the medical devices.

  • Bill of Lading: A shipping document issued by the carrier confirming that the shipment has been dispatched.

  • Certificate of Origin: A document verifying the country of manufacture for the devices.

  • NAFDAC Approval: Medical devices must be approved by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) before importation. Cargoburg Logistics helps secure this approval.

  • Certificate of Conformity: This certification confirms that the devices meet the required standards for health and safety in Nigeria.

3. Arrival and Inspection at the Port
