Licensed clearing at any Nigerian port.
Goods released. No delays.
Trenduds holds a licensed customs agent permit authorizing operations at any Nigerian port. We manage the full customs clearance process for imported goods — from documentation preparation and tariff classification through to compliance verification, duty payment coordination, and port release.
From Arrival to Your Door
Documentation Preparation
We prepare and review all required customs documentation — bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, Form M, and other regulatory documents. Accurate documentation is the most common point of failure in customs clearance and the most preventable.
Tariff Classification & Duty Assessment
We classify goods under the correct HS code and assess applicable duties and levies in advance, so clients have full visibility of costs before goods arrive at port. No surprises at clearing.
Compliance & Port Coordination
We liaise directly with Nigerian Customs Service and port authorities to progress the clearance process, respond to queries, and ensure all regulatory requirements are met. Our licensed status means we operate at any port.
Port Release & Delivery Handover
Once goods are released from port, we coordinate onward movement to your specified delivery location. For full end-to-end clients, this step flows directly into final delivery without a break in service.
The Cost of Getting Customs Wrong
Demurrage Prevention
Goods held at port accumulate demurrage charges by the day. Efficient, licensed clearing gets goods out fast and keeps costs predictable and controlled.
Single Partner Advantage
Clients using Trenduds for procurement and shipping can extend the service through customs. One partner manages the entire journey under one contract.
Compliance Protection
Incorrect classification, missing documents, or improper filing can lead to seizure, fines, or extended delays. Licensed expertise eliminates these risks entirely.
Standalone Service
Customs clearing is available as a standalone service for clients who source and ship independently but need licensed, reliable clearing support at Nigerian ports.
