Import Goods into Nigeria, Handled End to End
We manage the full import lifecycle — sourcing coordination, freight, clearance, and last-mile delivery into Nigeria.
Importing into Nigeria involves more than freight: Form M through your bank, product permits, the PAAR, duty payment and port charges all have to line up. Flaming Integrated Logistiks manages the whole import so your goods arrive cleared and delivered, without you chasing each step.
Whether you import raw materials, machinery, spare parts or finished goods for resale, we coordinate with your supplier abroad, move the cargo, clear it in Lagos and deliver it to you.
What's included
What Nigerian imports need before they ship
Every commercial import into Nigeria starts with a Form M, registered through an authorised bank before the goods are shipped. Regulated products may also need a SONCAP certificate from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria, or NAFDAC registration and permits for food, drugs, cosmetics and chemicals.
Getting these right before shipment is the difference between a container cleared in days and one stuck at the port for weeks. We check your goods against these requirements at the quote stage.
