What is Import Duty Clearance, and Why is it Crucial?
Import duty clearance refers to the process of getting imported goods officially approved by customs authorities by complying with regulations and settling all applicable duties, taxes, and fees. It is a legal requirement for releasing goods from seaports or airports into the Nigerian market. Without proper clearance, goods may be delayed, fined, or seized.
The import duty clearance process in Nigeria includes:
Accurate classification of goods under the Harmonized System (HS) code.
Computation and payment of customs duties, VAT, levies, and other port charges.
Processing and submission of all required documentation (e.g., Form M, PAAR, Bill of Lading).
Engagement with agencies like SON, NAFDAC, and NESREA for specific product approvals.
Final release and delivery of goods to consignee.
This is where Cargoburg Logistics excels—our end-to-end expertise, close relationships with customs officers, and understanding of trade compliance rules mean we get your goods cleared accurately, promptly, and legally.
