Specialized Customs Clearance Services for Mining Equipment

Mining operations depend on uninterrupted access to high-grade machinery and equipment, much of which is imported. At Cargoburg Logistics, we provide specialized customs clearance services that cater specifically to the mining industry. We understand the classification, handling, and regulatory requirements for importing mining equipment into Nigeria and provide a turnkey service that removes the burden from your internal teams.

Our Core Services Include:

Import Documentation Management: We manage all the necessary paperwork including the Form M, Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and other essential documentation. We also liaise directly with relevant agencies like the Nigeria Customs Service, NESREA, and SON to ensure all permits and approvals are in place.

HS Code Classification & Duty Calculation: Our experts accurately classify your mining equipment using the appropriate Harmonized System (HS) Codes, ensuring you pay the correct customs duties and taxes. This prevents overpayments and eliminates the risk of delays caused by incorrect classification.

Inspection Facilitation: We coordinate all necessary physical inspections required by customs or other regulatory agencies. Our relationships with port officials and our real-time presence at key ports ensure that inspections are completed swiftly and without issue.

Exoneration & Concession Handling: For eligible projects, especially those under government or export-oriented programs, we help clients apply for and secure duty waivers, import concessions, or exemptions. This can significantly reduce import costs for high-value mining machinery.

Clearing & Inland Delivery: Once your mining equipment is cleared, our inland haulage team handles the safe and timely delivery of cargo to your preferred location—be it a mining site in Kaduna or a storage facility in Abuja.
