End-to-End Freight Forwarding of Sesame Seeds
Exporting sesame seeds to international buyers involves more than simply moving goods from point A to B. It requires careful coordination, proper documentation, packaging, fumigation, compliance with phytosanitary requirements, and reliable international freight services. Cargoburg Logistics Nigeria provides an all-in-one solution for sesame seed exporters by managing every step of the logistics chain with precision.

Sesame seed exports must comply with Nigerian export regulations and meet the import standards of destination countries. Our experienced customs brokerage team handles:
Form NXP registration via Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
Export Prohibition List compliance
Phytosanitary certification
Certificate of origin from NEPC or the Nigerian Export Promotion Council
Packing list and commercial invoice preparation
