What Are Clearing Agents Services?

Clearing agents services involve the management of customs formalities required to clear imported or exported goods. A clearing agent serves as an intermediary between the importer or exporter and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to ensure that goods are cleared without delay, following all relevant customs regulations. The key roles of a clearing agent include preparing the required documents, paying import duties and taxes, arranging for inspections, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.

In Nigeria, clearing agents play a pivotal role in ensuring the smooth movement of goods through ports, helping businesses navigate the often complex and time-sensitive process of customs clearance.

Our Clearing Agents Services

At Cargoburg Nigeria Limited, we offer a wide range of clearing agents services that cater to the needs of both individual importers and businesses, ensuring compliance with all Nigerian customs regulations. We take care of every aspect of the clearance process, from the preparation of documents to the final delivery of goods.

1. Customs Documentation and Declarations

The first step in the clearing process is the proper preparation and submission of customs documents. Our team of experienced professionals ensures that all the necessary documentation, including the import declaration, commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin, is properly prepared and submitted to the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) for clearance.

We handle:

• Import Declaration Form (IDF): A critical document to initiate the clearing process with Nigerian Customs.
• Customs Entry Form: This is required for the detailed declaration of goods being imported.
• Commercial Invoice: The invoice providing information about the transaction, including product descriptions and values.
• Certificate of Origin: Certification of where the goods were manufactured, which is important for tariff classification.

With our expertise, your documentation is handled accurately, ensuring there are no delays or issues with customs clearance.

2. Payment of Duties and Taxes

One of the crucial services we offer as a clearing agent is the payment of import duties and taxes. Import duties in Nigeria are calculated based on the value of the goods, and proper calculation is critical to avoid overpaying or underpaying taxes. Cargoburg Nigeria Limited ensures that all duties and taxes are correctly paid on time, so your goods can be cleared without delay.

We assist with:

• Calculation of import duties and taxes based on your cargo’s value and classification.
• Payment of all applicable duties and taxes on behalf of the importer to Nigerian Customs.
• Issuance of receipts and documentation confirming payment to ensure full clearance.

Our process ensures your shipments are cleared without delays caused by payment issues.

3. Customs Inspection and Examination

Some shipments may be selected for customs inspection upon arrival at Nigerian ports. During an inspection, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) examines the goods to verify compliance with import regulations. Cargoburg Nigeria Limited coordinates with NCS to ensure a smooth inspection process.

Our team:

• Facilitates inspections by Nigerian Customs, ensuring that all necessary documents are available.
• Coordinates with NCS officers to ensure efficient inspection and clearance.
• Ensures minimal delay during the inspection process by providing the correct paperwork and ensuring compliance.

Our goal is to ensure that your goods pass through inspection quickly and efficiently.

4. Cargo Delivery and Transportation

Once customs clearance is granted, the next step is arranging for the delivery of your cargo to its final destination. Whether it’s a warehouse, distribution center, or your business address, Cargoburg Nigeria Limited offers reliable transportation services to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your goods.

Our services include:

• Arranging transportation from the port to the desired destination, whether by road, air, or rail.

We ensure that your goods are delivered efficiently, regardless of the size or type of shipment.

5. Cargo Consolidation Services

For businesses importing multiple small shipments, cargo consolidation can be an effective way to reduce shipping costs. Cargoburg Nigeria Limited offers cargo consolidation services, which allow you to combine multiple smaller shipments into one larger shipment, reducing overall freight charges.

We assist with:

• Combining goods from different suppliers or sources into one shipment.
• Optimizing cargo space in containers to maximize efficiency.
• Providing detailed documentation for the consolidated cargo to ensure smooth customs clearance.

Our cargo consolidation services help lower transportation costs while simplifying the clearing process.
