Service Description: Expert Customs Declaration Services

At the heart of international trade is customs declaration—the act of listing and submitting detailed information about goods being imported or exported, including their value, nature, and country of origin. These declarations are reviewed by the Nigeria Customs Service for the calculation of duties, taxes, and compliance with trade policies.

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, our Customs Declaration Services include:

HS Code Classification

Accurate tariff classification is essential to determining the applicable duties and taxes. Cargoburg’s customs professionals are well-versed in the Harmonized System (HS) used globally to categorize goods. We ensure that your cargo is classified under the correct HS code to prevent misclassification penalties and overpayment of duties.

Customs Duty and Tax Calculation

Incorrect calculations can lead to unnecessary expenses or even penalties. We handle the valuation of goods, apply relevant import or export duty rates, and ensure that taxes such as VAT, excise duties, and levies are properly assessed and paid on your behalf.

Electronic Filing via NICIS II

We leverage the Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System (NICIS II) platform to electronically lodge declarations. This ensures faster processing and real-time status tracking for all shipments. Our familiarity with the system gives us a speed advantage in processing large volumes of shipments with minimal delays.

Preparation and Submission of Declaration Documents

We prepare and submit the complete set of documents required for customs declaration, including:

  • Form M (for imports)

  • Single Goods Declaration (SGD) Form

  • Bill of Lading or Airway Bill

  • Proforma and Commercial Invoices

  • Packing Lists

  • Product Certificates

  • SONCAP or NAFDAC Permits, where applicable

These documents must meet both customs requirements and international best practices, and our team ensures each document is accurate and compliant.

Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) Processing

We assist clients in securing the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) from the Nigeria Customs Service, which is mandatory for most import transactions. Cargoburg helps ensure that your PAAR is processed swiftly, minimizing waiting times at the port.

Real-Time Liaison with Nigeria Customs and Agencies

Customs declaration often requires engagement with various regulatory bodies, including:

  • Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)

  • Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON)

  • NAFDAC

  • Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS)

  • Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA)

Our strong relationships with these agencies ensure faster resolution of queries and reduced dwell time for your cargo.

Post-Clearance Audit & Advisory

Cargoburg offers post-clearance audit support to verify that declarations and payments were correctly handled. If discrepancies are found, we help clients apply for duty refunds or make voluntary disclosures to avoid penalties.
