Import/Export Management in Nigeria: Documentation, Compliance and Port Coordination
ADL manages import/export movement from the first document to the port. The service is built for buyers and businesses that need the paperwork, approvals, and logistics to line up correctly before cargo moves.
For imports, that can include Form M guidance, SON or SONCAP support where applicable, NAFDAC or other product-specific clearance steps, customs documentation, and port coordination. For exports, we coordinate buyer-ready paperwork, inspection, and shipment support.
Documentation First
We help structure the paperwork early so the cargo path is clear before shipment starts.
Regulatory Coordination
Where a product needs SON, NAFDAC, or another regulator, we coordinate the process around the shipment plan.
Port & Freight Handling
We track the cargo through the port process and coordinate the freight side so movement stays organised.
Pricing & Engagement
Pricing depends on cargo type, document complexity, regulatory requirements, shipment volume, and the destination or port involved.
Common Inquiries
Do you handle both import and export?
Yes. The service covers both directions, with the workflow adjusted to the cargo and documentation requirements.
Which documents can you help with?
Form M, SON or SONCAP where applicable, NAFDAC or other product-specific permits, customs documents, invoices, and shipping paperwork can all fall within scope.
How long does clearance take?
It depends on the product, the regulator involved, the completeness of the file, and the port schedule. Straightforward files move faster than complex ones.
