Professional Customs Clearing in Nigeria: What we do

1. Complete Customs Documentation & Filing

Our customs clearing agents assist you to prepare, aggregate and submit all required import documents, including Form M, bills of lading, PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report), commercial invoices, and certificates of origin. With this meticulous documentation handling, you steer clear of common errors and setbacks that slow down clearance.

2. Accurate Duties, Tariff Classification & Compliance

We determine correct tariff codes and duty assessments to ensure you efficiently pay customs duty. Our team also ensures compliance with regulatory bodies such as NAFDAC, SON, NESREA, and others to prevent costly cargo holds or rejections.

3. Liaison with Customs & Regulatory Authorities

Customs clearance is an interactive process. We act as your representative before the Nigeria Customs Service and relevant agencies, coordinating inspections, responding to queries, and securing timely cargo release.

4. Port & Logistics Coordination

Our services extend beyond paperwork. We work with terminal operators and transport partners to obtain gate passes, arrange container pickup, and synchronize inland movements — a vital link for efficient cargo flow, especially at busy hubs like Lagos seaports.

5. Regulatory Advisory & Risk Management

With ever-changing customs laws and enforcement standards, staying compliant can be daunting. Our team of clearing agents and other professionals within our structure keep you up-to-date on requirements and helps mitigate risks like duty disputes, documentation discrepancies, or regulatory non-compliance.
