Petroleum Product Customs Clearance in Lagos: A Complex Operation

Importing petroleum products into Nigeria, especially via Lagos ports, involves navigating a highly regulated and detail-intensive process. Petroleum cargo is strictly monitored by multiple regulatory bodies, and a single documentation error can lead to major delays, fines, or outright cargo seizure.

Cargoburg Logistics Limited has developed a highly refined process tailored for the petroleum sector. Our Lagos-based customs team works with precision to ensure timely and compliant clearance. Our petroleum customs clearance services include:

  • Form M processing and validation

  • Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) management

  • Product classification and HS code mapping

  • Duty calculation and valuation

  • Import permit acquisition from NMDPRA

  • NAFDAC and SONCAP compliance checks (where applicable)

  • Physical inspection coordination with customs and relevant authorities

  • Documentation for terminal delivery and release

Our long-standing relationships with the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) ensure that our clients benefit from smoother approvals, reduced turnaround times, and minimized demurrage.
