Our Specialized Perishable Goods Import Services
At Cargoburg Logistics Limited, we take pride in offering tailored solutions for the safe and efficient handling of temperature-sensitive cargo. Perishable goods, by nature, require a fast and highly coordinated logistics process — and that’s precisely what we deliver.
Temperature-Controlled Freight Solutions
We understand that maintaining cold chain integrity is non-negotiable when it comes to perishables. Our temperature-controlled import solutions include:
Reefer container handling at seaports
Airfreight cargo handling for chilled and frozen products
Cold storage facilities for short-term and long-term holding
Temperature-controlled trucking from ports to warehouses or distribution centers
Our cold chain operations are supported by modern refrigeration systems and real-time temperature tracking to ensure compliance with required thresholds from arrival to delivery.
Licensed Customs Clearance
As a licensed customs clearing agent in Nigeria, Cargoburg handles all regulatory documentation and inspections with speed and accuracy. We work closely with agencies like Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), NAFDAC, and Quarantine Services to ensure that your perishable imports are processed quickly and without penalties.
Our customs clearance services include:
Entry declaration preparation and submission
HS code classification for perishable products
Duty and tax computation and payment
Health and safety inspection coordination
Product registration and NAFDAC processing (if applicable)

Freight Forwarding via Air and Sea
Cargoburg provides expert freight forwarding in Nigeria tailored to the urgency and nature of perishable goods. Whether your cargo arrives by sea in reefer containers or by air in time-sensitive consignments, we ensure the most appropriate routing, carrier selection, and documentation for smooth clearance and delivery.
Our global freight forwarding network gives us access to major trade lanes and enables us to coordinate door-to-port and port-to-door logistics, providing a single point of accountability from origin to destination.
Inland Haulage and Last-Mile Delivery
We know that delivery time is crucial for perishable imports. Cargoburg operates a fleet of refrigerated trucks, dry vans, and temperature-controlled vehicles to ensure that your goods reach their final destinations — whether it’s a warehouse, processing center, or retail outlet — in the freshest condition possible.
Our last-mile delivery service is coordinated in real time, and we provide clients with continuous status updates, proof of delivery, and compliance assurance along the route.
Cold Storage and Bonded Warehousing
In cases where goods require temporary holding before clearance or dispatch, Cargoburg offers access to bonded warehouses and cold storage facilities near major ports. These secure environments are equipped to store chilled, frozen, or ambient temperature-sensitive cargo with proper monitoring and access controls.
Our warehousing solutions include:
Cross-docking for rapid transfer
Order fulfillment and repackaging
Inventory management
Short-term storage for regulatory holding
These facilities play a critical role in preserving product quality, especially for food and pharmaceutical products that may be subject to random inspection or testing.
Marine Logistics Support
For clients requiring movement of perishable goods via coastal or inland waterways, Cargoburg provides marine logistics support using certified vessels and barge operators. This option is ideal for bulk seafood, processed food ingredients, or temperature-sensitive goods from offshore platforms.
