Key Services We Offer
At Cargoburg, we provide a complete range of services for the importation and customs clearing of agricultural pesticides. Our solutions are designed to simplify and expedite the clearance process while ensuring compliance with all Nigerian import laws and regulations.
1. Customs Declaration and Documentation for Pesticides
One of the first and most critical steps in the customs clearing process is the accurate preparation of documentation. Agricultural pesticide imports require specific documents to comply with Nigerian regulations. Cargoburg ensures that all necessary paperwork is properly prepared and submitted to Nigerian Customs and relevant regulatory bodies. The required documents include:
Import Permit: Obtained from the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). Agricultural pesticides must be registered with NAFDAC, and import permits are required for clearance.
Commercial Invoice: A detailed invoice that lists the value, quantity, and description of the pesticides.
Packing List: A document that lists the contents of each package, including the pesticide’s name, quantity, and packaging.
Certificate of Origin: Verifying that the pesticides were produced in the country of origin.
Bill of Lading (BOL): A legal document issued by the shipping company confirming the receipt of goods for shipment.
NAFDAC Registration Certificate: Required for the importation of pesticides, confirming that the product has been registered and approved for use in Nigeria.
Phytosanitary Certificate: Issued by the relevant authorities in the country of origin, certifying that the pesticide complies with plant health standards.
Our team handles the preparation, submission, and verification of all required documents, ensuring that your import complies with Nigerian regulations and avoids any potential delays at customs.
2. Customs Clearance and Duty Payment
Once the documents are in place, the next step is customs clearance. Cargoburg specializes in managing the customs clearance process for agricultural pesticide imports. Our experienced team ensures that your pesticides are classified correctly, and all the required duties and taxes are paid promptly. We handle the following:

Cargoburg’s expertise in customs clearing guarantees a swift, compliant process that minimizes the chances of your shipment being delayed or held up at the port.
3. Regulatory Compliance with NAFDAC
Agricultural pesticides are subject to strict regulatory requirements under the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). NAFDAC is responsible for ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of food and drugs in Nigeria, including pesticides. To ensure smooth importation and avoid penalties, your agricultural pesticides must be registered with NAFDAC before importation.
Cargoburg handles the necessary NAFDAC registration and provides assistance in acquiring the following:
NAFDAC Certificate: This confirms that your agricultural pesticides have been approved for use in Nigeria.
Import Permit: Issued by NAFDAC to authorize the importation of the pesticides into Nigeria.
Labeling and Packaging Compliance: NAFDAC mandates specific labeling requirements for pesticides to ensure they are safely used by farmers and the general public. Cargoburg ensures that your product labels and packaging comply with these requirements before importation.
Our team at Cargoburg ensures that your agricultural pesticides meet all NAFDAC regulations, allowing for a smooth clearance and importation process.
