Specialized Customs Clearance for Solar Equipment in Lagos

Cargoburg Nigeria has carved out a niche as the go-to customs clearance provider for solar energy developers, distributors, and government-backed electrification projects. Our customs clearance services for solar equipment in Lagos are designed to remove the friction and uncertainty from importing specialized, high-value, and often sensitive renewable energy components.

We are fully versed in all regulatory protocols, from import documentation to product compliance standards issued by SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria), NESREA, and NERC. Our expertise spans every step of the process:

Pre-Import Advisory

Before your shipment even leaves its origin country, our consultants work with you to:

• Correctly identify HS Codes for solar equipment

• Apply for and secure relevant import permits and Form M

• Understand the duty structure and applicable exemptions

• Ensure product compliance with SONCAP, NERC approvals, and NESREA guidelines

Documentation Management

Upon arrival in Lagos, we ensure all cargo documentation is accurately filed and submitted, including:

• Commercial Invoice and Packing List

• Bill of Lading or Air Waybill

• SONCAP Certificate and Product Test Report

• Clean Report of Inspection (CRI)

• Duty Payment Receipts

We take full responsibility for liaising with customs officers, ensuring document completeness, avoiding classification errors, and securing fast-track approval whenever possible.

Port Clearance and Drayage Services

Our experienced port operatives manage all physical inspection, terminal charges, and cargo release procedures. Once your equipment is cleared, our drayage team handles internal container movement from the terminal to your designated project site or warehouse, preventing delays and avoiding costly demurrage or storage fees.

Secure Storage and Inventory Control

For clients needing temporary storage, we offer access to secure warehouse facilities in Lagos, where solar panels, inverters, batteries, and accessories can be stored safely. Our warehousing services include:

• Short- and long-term storage

• Real-time inventory management

• Pick, pack, and dispatch support

• Security and insurance coverage

From point of entry to final delivery, Cargoburg ensures every component of your solar installation is handled with care and precision.

What Makes Cargoburg Stand Out?

We understand that solar energy importation is not just another cargo project — it is a vital step in Nigeria’s transition to a cleaner, more sustainable future. Here’s how Cargoburg Logistics Limited continues to lead the way in customs clearance and logistics for solar equipment in Lagos:

✔ Deep Industry Knowledge

We are logistics experts with sector-specific experience in solar power infrastructure, including imports for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar projects. Our understanding of solar system architecture allows us to anticipate handling needs, from fragile PV panels to heavy-duty inverters and battery arrays.

✔ Licensed and Certified

Cargoburg is a fully licensed customs clearing agent, authorized by the Nigeria Customs Service, SON, and NESREA. Our operations follow the highest compliance standards, minimizing the risk of shipment delays or penalties.

✔ Fast Turnaround and Transparent Processing

We leverage our relationships with port authorities and customs officers to expedite cargo processing. Clients receive real-time updates at every stage of the clearance process. No hidden charges. No surprises. Just timely service you can count on.

✔ Full-Service Logistics Partner

In addition to clearance, we offer freight forwarding in Nigeria, air and sea transport, haulage, warehousing, and marine logistics. Whether your solar project is in Lagos, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, or Kano, we get your cargo where it needs to be — safely and quickly.

✔ Environmentally Responsible

As a logistics company committed to sustainability, we support the solar energy movement with logistics practices that minimize environmental impact. Our warehouses utilize energy-saving systems, and our digital-first documentation reduces paper usage and streamlines customs operations.
