Comprehensive Wheat Import Customs Clearance Services

1. Pre-Arrival Documentation & Regulatory Compliance

Efficient clearance of wheat imports begins before the vessel arrives in Nigeria. Cargoburg facilitates:

Filing and verification of the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) from the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)
Form M processing on the Trade Portal
Preparation of the Bill of Lading, Packing List, Commercial Invoice, and Certificate of Origin
Phytosanitary Certification checks from the country of origin, required by NAQS (Nigerian Agricultural Quarantine Service)
SONCAP or SON import compliance where applicable (especially for fortified wheat products)
Advance booking for customs inspection or NAQS supervision

Our pre-clearance process minimizes delays, prevents penalties, and guarantees seamless customs interaction.
