Common questions
How long does clearance take at Lagos ports?
A few working days once documents are complete and duty is paid. Delays almost always come from paperwork, such as a Form M that does not match the invoice.
What documents do I need to import?
Form M, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and the PAAR. Regulated goods also need SONCAP or NAFDAC approval.
Can you clear cargo someone else shipped?
Yes. Clearance is quoted on its own, whoever booked the freight.
Do you ship outside Nigeria?
Yes. We move cargo across Africa and between Africa and Europe, with offices in Lagos and the United Kingdom.
