SERVICE OVERVIEW

Comprehensive Clearing and Forwarding Solutions

Navigating customs regulations in Nigeria requires deep procedural mastery and strong on-ground coordination with regulatory bodies. Proconsul Logistics manages the complete clearance lifecycle—from pre-arrival document verification and HS code classification to physical cargo examination and final gate release.

Our dedicated customs brokerage team operates daily at Apapa Port, Tin Can Island, PTML, and Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA). We proactively track shipping manifests, secure PAAR clearance, and expedite statutory approvals with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), NAFDAC, and SON, helping you eliminate costly demurrage and terminal holding penalties.
