Importation of Goods

End-to-end sourcing, freight, clearing and distribution of general and specialised goods — landed, cleared and delivered.

Overview

Sourced globally. Cleared properly. Delivered on site.

Importation fails in the gaps — between the supplier and the shipment, the shipment and the customs office, the port and the warehouse, the warehouse and your site. We work on those gaps deliberately.

We source general and specialised goods from verified manufacturers and suppliers overseas, manage the purchase order and the shipping documents, handle customs clearance, and deliver cleared goods to your warehouse, store or project site — with the paperwork complete and the goods inspected before they leave our control.

Because our construction division buys the same materials we import, we understand specification, certification and the difference between a container that arrives and a container that arrives usable.

Landed cost matters more than unit price

A supplier's quoted price is rarely the price you pay. Freight, insurance, duties, clearing charges, demurrage, inspection and inland haulage all sit between the invoice and your warehouse. We quote the landed cost, so your comparison is a real comparison.

Scope of Work

What is included

Our supply chain scope covers the entire journey of the goods — from the factory gate to the point where they are actually usable on your site.

Sourcing & Supplier Vetting

Identification of manufacturers and trading suppliers, verification of credentials and capacity, sample evaluation and commercial comparison.

Purchase Order & LPO Management

Specification of goods, issuance and management of purchase orders and local purchase orders, with milestone-based payment control.

Freight & Shipping

Sea, air and inland freight booking with reputable carriers, insurance, tracking and consolidation of consignments.

Customs Clearance

Preparation and submission of the required import documentation, duty and tariff assessment, and interaction with the Nigeria Customs Service.

Warehousing & Bonded Storage

Bonded and general-purpose storage, palletisation, racking, stock control, insurance and inventory management.

Last-Mile Delivery & Distribution

Nationwide haulage to your warehouse, store or project site with delivery documentation and proof of condition.

How We Deliver

Goods that arrive correct, cleared and checked

Importation is a logistics problem wrapped in a compliance problem. We handle both, and we verify the goods before we hand them over.

Document Preparation

Commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin and the applicable regulatory documentation prepared and checked before dispatch.

Pre-Arrival Clearance

Where permitted, clearance documentation filed in advance of arrival to reduce demurrage and port congestion charges.

Inspection & Quality Control

Goods inspected against specification on arrival, with photographic records and a written condition report before delivery.

Regulatory Handling

Compliance with the applicable import documentation requirements, including SONCAP certification, NAFDAC registration and any relevant standard authority approvals.

Delivery Method

How a consignment moves

A controlled sequence that keeps every consignment documented, tracked and predictable from supplier to site.

Requirement & Specification

We take the technical specification or item list, confirm quantities, standards and any certification the goods must carry.

Supplier Sourcing

Manufacturers and suppliers identified and vetted, samples evaluated where required, and quotations compared on a landed-cost basis.

Purchase Order & Payment

Purchase order issued, inspection and payment milestones agreed, and production or dispatch confirmed before shipment.

Shipment & Documentation

Goods dispatched, shipping documents prepared, insurance arranged and the consignment tracked to the port of arrival.

Customs Clearance

Entry filed with the Nigeria Customs Service, duties and levies assessed and settled, and the consignment released for onward movement.

Inspection & Warehousing

Goods received, inspected against specification, and moved into bonded or general storage as instructed.

Delivery & Documentation

Final-mile haulage to your site, delivery notes signed, and the complete document pack handed over.

Questions

Questions about importation

A description or item list with quantities, specifications and, where relevant, the country of origin and the destination port or city. The more specific the description, the more accurate the landed cost.

We supply on EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP depending on the client's risk profile and the level of control required. We will recommend the term that matches how you actually want the risk and cost distributed.

We assess the applicable duty and VAT position with the customs entry and settle the charges so that the goods are released without delay. Full disclosure of the cost is included in the landed cost quotation.

Sea freight generally takes several weeks end to end; air freight is materially faster at a higher cost. We give you a realistic estimate with the lead-time drivers identified before you commit.

Yes. We inspect against your specification on arrival and document any discrepancy before the goods leave our control, so claims can be raised against the supplier with evidence while it is still actionable.

Yes. We operate bonded and general-purpose warehousing and can hold, consolidate and stage consignments against your project programme, delivering in line with your construction or production schedule.
