How the clearance process runs

Each stage depends on the one before it. Documents are collected and checked in China, filed for export, then matched to the ocean manifest before Nigerian terminal clearing begins.

Document collection

We gather export certificates, the vehicle title, and the supporting records needed for shipment from your chosen Chinese city.

Chinese export filing

Export paperwork is prepared and checked against the vehicle details before it is submitted through the required channels.

Ocean manifest release

The shipping manifest is matched to the cargo records so the vehicle is correctly listed for its sea crossing.

Nigerian terminal clearing

On arrival, customs declarations and port duty assessments are prepared so the terminal release can be guided with fewer holds.

Compliance notes before you ship

Ownership and vehicle records

Ownership documents and the VIN record must match the vehicle exactly. Discrepancies between the title and the chassis number are a common cause of terminal hold-ups, so we check them before any filing begins.

Inspection requirements

Inspection and documentation standards are confirmed for each shipment, and we give direct guidance on what to prepare so your car is not delayed at the port.
