● Pay import taxes later: Improve cash flow by paying duties when goods leave bond.

● Reduce port pressure: Move containers off‑dock to avoid congestion and delays.

● Stay compliant: Customs oversight, secure access, and audit‑ready records.

Secure, compliant storage that pays you back in time and cash flow

Exporters use bond to consolidate orders, repack or relabel, complete paperwork, and move goods to seaport or airport without triggering local duties that do not apply.

You have bonded warehousing with controlled access and clear records, plus a container yard for FCL and LCL. While cargo remains in bond, we coordinate inspections, basic quality checks, relabeling, repacking, and consolidation so shipments leave ready for local delivery or export. When it is time to move, we arrange release after duties are paid for imports, or we marshal export cargo to the vessel or aircraft with the right documents in hand.

Bonded storage supports international trade. Cargo often passes through several countries before reaching or leaving Nigeria. In bond, it avoids being taxed in transit, and duties in Nigeria are paid only when imported goods enter the local market. For exports, bond lets you stage and consolidate shipments, supply vessels or aircraft, or move cargo outward without unnecessary local tax. The result is less port pressure, cleaner paperwork, and better cash flow.

Importers bringing goods into Nigeria who want predictability and stronger cash management. Exporters who need time and space to combine orders, prepare documentation, and meet sailing or flight schedules. Teams in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, FMCG, Health and Pharma, and Diplomatic or NGO cargo that value compliance and timing.

We receive and secure your cargo, keep it visible and documented, complete any required processing in bond, and then release and move it according to your plan. For imports, that means duty payment, release, and transport to your factory or warehouse.

For exports, that means export clearance, handover to carrier, and proof of export. You get a single contact, clear steps before we start, and straight updates from arrival to exit.

Bonded inventory: Foreign goods held under Nigerian Customs control without immediate duty payment.
The importer or exporter posts a customs bond as financial security. If the goods are exported onward, the bond is redeemed.:

A secure, customs-approved facility where dutiable goods can be stored and worked on without paying duty while they remain in bond. This covers inspections, relabeling, repacking, and limited processing.

When goods enter a bonded warehouse, both the importer or exporter and the warehouse operator carry liability under a bond. That liability ends when goods are exported or deemed exported, issued as supplies to a vessel or aircraft in international traffic, destroyed under customs supervision, or released for local consumption after duty is paid.
We will guide you through Nigerian documents and steps for both imports and exports, from first arrival to final hand-off.

Smooth, compliant border moves in Nigeria for importers and exporters.

Customs rules are exacting, and the clock is always ticking. ASF handles your clearance and forwarding end to end, so cargo moves on schedule and documents stand up to scrutiny. We prepare entries, coordinate inspections, settle duties and taxes for imports, complete export formalities, and hand cargo to the right carrier with clean paperwork and clear updates.

One accountable team that handles the whole journey in Nigeria—Customs steps, port and terminal work, and the hand-offs to trucks, ships, and planes. For imports, we prepare and file the entry, make sure HS codes and permits are right, stay with you through inspections, and confirm duty payment so your cargo is released without drama. For exports, we register the shipment, file the export declaration, line up any inspections, and hand the goods to the vessel or airline with clean paperwork and proof of export.

Predictability comes from preparation. We focus on complete files, correct tariff classification, and early coordination with Customs, terminals, and inspection agencies.
That reduces rework, avoids unnecessary holds, and keeps you clear of storage and demur-rage. You get straight communication, realistic timelines, and documents that are audit ready.

● Customs clearing is the paperwork and procedures that let goods legally enter or leave Nigeria. It includes classification, valuation, permits, inspections, and paying duties and taxes for imports.

● Forwarding is the movement planning: bookings, cut-offs, carrier coordination, terminal handling, and the hand-off to trucking, ocean, or air so the cargo actually moves.

What we’ll typically ask from you:

Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airwaybill, HS codes, permits or licenses if required, product specs and safety data where applicable, consignee and notify details, and any special handling notes. We will confirm the exact list for your shipment at onboarding.
