In Port Harcourt and Onne, we manage customs and logistics for mining operations serving Nigeria’s South-South and Eastern regions.

Tailored Customs Clearance for Mining Equipment

The importation of mining equipment involves a highly regulated process. From navigating customs codes to managing special permits and complying with environmental and safety standards, each shipment must be handled with precision. Cargoburg Logistics has developed a structured, proven process for clearing mining machinery and industrial equipment through Nigerian ports—saving our clients time, money, and operational headaches.

Our Mining Equipment Customs Clearance Services Include:

Document Preparation & Submission: We prepare and process all required documents including Form M, Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, SONCAP, and NAFDAC permits where applicable. Our experts ensure your documents meet all legal and technical requirements.

HS Code Classification: We accurately classify each piece of mining equipment according to the appropriate Harmonized System (HS) Code. This ensures you pay the correct customs duties and taxes, avoiding overcharges or unnecessary penalties.

Import Duty & Tax Evaluation: Our customs specialists help assess duty liabilities, and where eligible, apply for import waivers or concessions, especially for government or export-oriented projects.

Physical Inspection Management: We coordinate mandatory inspections with the Nigeria Customs Service, SON, and other regulatory bodies. Our presence at inspection points ensures a smooth, transparent process.

Fast-track Clearance & Delivery: After clearance, we handle haulage from the port to your final site, whether that’s a remote mine in the North or a facility in the city. We use our own fleet of low-bed and flatbed trailers for efficient delivery of heavy-duty machinery.

Cargoburg handles every detail—from container unloading to equipment staging at your preferred location—ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational readiness.
