Our Customs Clearance Services for Plastic Products

Importing plastic goods into Nigeria involves strict regulatory compliance and numerous steps in documentation and inspection. These steps often vary depending on the type of plastic product—whether it’s household plastics, industrial containers, raw resins, or recyclable materials. Cargoburg Logistics Limited provides a comprehensive customs clearance service tailored specifically to plastic products, taking the complexity out of the process so you can focus on your business.

Here’s how we deliver industry-leading results for our clients:

1. Pre-Import Advisory and Product Classification

Before your shipment even arrives in Nigeria, we assist in classifying plastic products correctly using HS codes, verifying import eligibility, and preparing key documents including the Form M, SONCAP Certificate, PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report), and Import Permit, if required.

This early-stage intervention helps clients avoid common issues like delays due to incorrect classification or missing documents.

2. Standards Compliance (SONCAP, NAFDAC, NESREA)

Certain plastic items are regulated by agencies like SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria), NAFDAC, or NESREA, especially where safety or environmental concerns exist. Cargoburg coordinates all agency-related inspections and approvals, ensuring:

• Valid SONCAP certifications for regulated plastic goods

• NAFDAC clearance for applicable food-contact plastics

• NESREA compliance for recycled plastic or environmentally sensitive products

We handle the back-and-forth with these agencies so your cargo isn’t held up at the port.

3. Customs Documentation and Duty Assessment

Cargoburg prepares and submits all necessary customs declarations and documentation to the Nigeria Customs Service. Our specialists ensure:

• Proper valuation of goods

• Accurate duty and VAT computation

• Timely duty payments

• Swift engagement with customs officers

4. Terminal Operations and Container Handling

Once customs releases your goods, our team ensures timely port terminal operations. We coordinate container offloading, stripping (if needed), and reloading for inland transport. We also assist in resolving port-related issues such as:

• Delay in cargo positioning

• Container demurrage and rent mitigation

• Examination and inspection scheduling

5. Inland Haulage and Delivery

From the port, we can move your cleared plastic products directly to your warehouse or distribution center. We offer both full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) options using our own fleet and partner carriers for local and interstate delivery.
