Our Customs Documentation Services

1. Import and Export Documentation

At Cargoburg Nigeria Limited, we assist businesses with the preparation and submission of all necessary import and export documentation. This includes:

• Bill of Lading: A critical document that serves as evidence of the contract of carriage and the receipt of goods.
• Commercial Invoice: A document outlining the transaction details between the buyer and seller, including pricing, terms, and goods description.
• Packing List: A detailed list of all items included in the shipment, which helps in the verification and inspection process.
• Certificates of Origin: Used to determine the origin of goods for tariff and customs purposes.
• Import Permits and Licenses: Necessary for specific regulated products that require government approval before importation.

We ensure that all your documents are accurate and compliant with Nigerian laws, minimizing the risk of customs delays or penalties.

2. Customs Declaration and Clearance

Our customs clearance services ensure that your goods pass through Nigerian customs without unnecessary delays. We prepare and file all required customs declarations on your behalf, helping you avoid complications that could result in fines or shipment delays. Our services include:

• Submission of Customs Declarations: We file the required customs forms and declarations with the appropriate Nigerian authorities.
• Tariff Classification: We assist with correctly classifying your goods under the Harmonized System (HS) code to ensure that the correct duties and taxes are applied.
• Customs Duty Calculation: Our team helps you calculate the correct customs duties, taxes, and fees based on the value and classification of your goods, ensuring compliance with Nigerian tax regulations.

3. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Filing

With advancements in technology, Nigerian customs now relies on the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system for processing import and export documentation. We handle EDI filing on your behalf, ensuring that your customs documentation is submitted and processed electronically in compliance with Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) regulations.

This process allows for faster processing times and reduces the chances of human error, ensuring that your shipments are cleared as quickly as possible.

Our experienced team guides you through the process of obtaining licenses from relevant Nigerian government bodies.

5. Import Duty and Tax Exemption Services

We assist clients in applying for import duty and tax exemptions where applicable. Certain goods, such as those for humanitarian purposes or those produced locally, may be eligible for exemption from import duties. Our team helps businesses navigate these exemptions and ensures that they take advantage of any available incentives to minimize their costs.

Once your goods are cleared through customs, we ensure that they are released and delivered promptly. Our cargo release and delivery services include:
