Trusted Licensed Customs Clearing and Freight Forwarding Experts in Nigeria

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we provide trusted, efficient, and fully compliant customs declaration services that ensure your goods clear Nigerian ports swiftly and without complication. As a top-tier freight forwarding and import clearing agent in Nigeria, Cargoburg is known for its unwavering commitment to professionalism, deep regulatory knowledge, and extensive network across Nigeria’s shipping and logistics sector.

We are more than just a logistics provider — we are a fully licensed customs clearing and forwarding agency, freight forwarder, freight broker, warehouse operator, and drayage carrier. We specialize in end-to-end cargo handling, offering a wide array of services including air freight, sea freight forwarding, haulage, warehousing, project logistics, and marine services. With Cargoburg, every shipment is managed with precision and delivered with excellence.

Customs declaration is one of the most sensitive and essential aspects of international trade. Whether your cargo includes industrial machinery, perishable agricultural goods, consumer electronics, or oil and gas equipment, our declaration services are designed to guarantee accuracy, speed, and full regulatory compliance—ensuring smooth and uninterrupted business operations.

Declaration Services Available Across Nigeria’s Port Cities

To deliver efficient declaration and clearing support wherever your cargo enters Nigeria, Cargoburg maintains a strong presence at all the country’s major port cities. Our services are available at:

Apapa and Tin Can Island Ports (Lagos)

Onne Port and Port Harcourt Port (Rivers State)

Calabar Port (Cross River State)

Warri Port (Delta State)

Whether your operations are centered in the commercial capital of Lagos, the oil-rich corridors of Port Harcourt, or the strategic ports of Onne, Calabar, and Warri, we are on the ground with experienced professionals ready to process your customs declaration and clear your goods quickly.

By working across these major seaports and terminals, Cargoburg ensures nationwide coverage and consistent service delivery for importers across various industries including agriculture, construction, oil and gas, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and technology.

What Are Declaration Services and Why Do They Matter?

Declaration services are a key element in the customs clearance process. When cargo arrives at any Nigerian port, a formal declaration must be submitted to the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) to inform them of the contents, origin, classification, and value of the shipment. This declaration enables the government to assess applicable duties and taxes and ensures the cargo complies with national import laws.

At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we handle every stage of this process for you. Our declaration services include:

Document verification and preparation: We collect and review essential paperwork such as the Form M, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, SONCAP certificate, PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report), NAFDAC permits (where applicable), and other regulatory documents.

HS Code classification: We accurately assign Harmonized System (HS) codes to your products to ensure correct duty payments and minimize disputes with customs.

Customs duty computation: Our licensed brokers calculate accurate customs duties, levies, and VAT based on your cargo’s declared value and classification.

Submission to Customs: We electronically submit your declaration through Nigeria’s Trade Portal (Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System – NICIS II) and manage interactions with customs officials on your behalf.

Inspection coordination: We coordinate with government inspection agencies, including SON, NAFDAC, NESREA, and the NDLEA, ensuring your cargo passes all necessary checks and is cleared without delay.

Duty payments and tracking: We make timely payments, track cargo release, and provide you with updates every step of the way until your shipment is in your hands.

Why Cargoburg Stands Out in Declaration Services

Cargoburg Logistics Limited is a leader in declaration and customs clearance in Nigeria. Our services are not only accurate but also timely and cost-effective. Here’s why businesses continue to choose Cargoburg as their customs declaration partner:

1. Deep Regulatory Expertise

Navigating Nigerian customs regulations can be complex. At Cargoburg, our team of licensed brokers and customs professionals is deeply versed in both Nigerian trade policies and international shipping protocols. We stay current with customs legislation, ensuring that every declaration complies with the most recent rules and minimizes risk.

2. Accurate Documentation

Errors in declaration documents can result in costly penalties or cargo seizure. We eliminate these risks by thoroughly vetting every document and ensuring alignment between your commercial documents and your import permit (Form M). This attention to detail accelerates processing and prevents issues at the port.

3. Speed and Efficiency

We understand that delays at customs can disrupt your entire supply chain. With our well-established networks in Lagos, Port Harcourt, Onne, Calabar, and Warri, our on-ground agents expedite every clearance process. Our real-time tracking tools keep you informed, and our operations team works around the clock to ensure that your cargo is never left sitting idle.

4. Integrated Services

Because Cargoburg offers freight forwarding, warehousing, marine logistics, and inland haulage, your entire cargo journey can be managed under one roof. This integration means fewer handovers, less confusion, and a smoother, faster overall experience.

5. Tailored Solutions

Every client has different needs. Whether you’re a multinational company importing heavy equipment or a local business shipping agricultural produce, we offer customized declaration services to match your cargo type, volume, and urgency. We can also help you obtain import waivers, exemptions, and other incentives when eligible.

6. Compliance-Focused

Cargoburg prioritizes compliance in every operation. We help clients avoid common pitfalls such as under-declaration, improper classification, or omission of key permits. By working transparently and ethically, we build trust with customs authorities and ensure smoother operations for our clients.

Who Can Benefit from Our Declaration Services?

Our declaration services are ideal for:

Importers of high-value machinery and industrial equipment
Businesses importing consumer goods and electronics
Agricultural exporters needing swift documentation processing
Oil and gas service companies with specialized cargo
Retailers importing goods in bulk via sea or air freight
Pharmaceutical and chemical importers with strict regulatory requirements

We also offer urgent declaration support for air freight cargo and perishable goods, where time is of the essence. Our goal is to eliminate delays and give your goods the fastest possible path to clearance.

A Technology-Driven and Eco-Conscious Approach

At Cargoburg, we believe in continuous improvement. That’s why we’ve embraced digital platforms and eco-conscious business practices. Our digital customs documentation system minimizes paperwork and human error while boosting speed and security. We also advocate for sustainable logistics solutions that reduce carbon footprint and promote ethical business conduct throughout the supply chain.

Through employee training, investment in technology, and partnerships with government regulatory agencies, we remain at the forefront of innovation in Nigeria’s logistics industry.
