EuroVista coordinates every Nigerian import document and licensed agent — Form M filing, SONCAP, NAFDAC, PAAR, Bill of Lading — so your cargo clears Apapa or Tin Can without delay.
Quick Answers
What Nigerian importers ask first
Can EuroVista file Form M for me?
Yes. We coordinate Form M filing through your authorised dealer bank and track it to approval before goods leave China.
What if my product needs SONCAP or NAFDAC?
We confirm which certification applies, prepare the supplier-side evidence pack, and route through licensed local agents.
Documents we handle
Coverage spans the full pre-arrival, arrival, and clearance documentation chain. We work with your authorised dealer bank and licensed customs agents — you keep one point of contact.
01
Form M
Mandatory for all imports. We prepare HS classification, Proforma Invoice, and supporting evidence, then file through your authorised dealer bank and track to approval.
02
SONCAP
For regulated electronics, automotive parts, toys, and similar categories. We coordinate testing, IDF, PC (Product Certificate), and SC (SONCAP Certificate) with licensed agents.
03
NAFDAC
For food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, and chemicals. We handle product registration prep, lab testing coordination, and labelling review with licensed NAFDAC agents.
04
PAAR & clearance
Pre-Arrival Assessment Report, Bill of Lading consignment, Certificate of Origin authentication, and licensed customs broker coordination at Apapa, Tin Can, and Onne.
05
Demurrage & query handling
If Customs raises a query or container faces demurrage, our broker network responds in-port to resolve, document, and release within target timelines.
Pricing & scope
Documentation fees depend on category, certification requirements, and shipment volume. Statutory costs (Form M bank charge, SONCAP / NAFDAC certification fees, customs duties) are pass-through and quoted line-by-line — no hidden margin.
Common documentation questions
How long does Form M approval take?
Typically 2 to 5 business days after submission, assuming HS code, supporting Proforma Invoice, and required evidence are correct on first filing.
Do I need both SONCAP and NAFDAC?
No. They cover different categories. SONCAP is for SON-regulated goods (electronics, automotive, building products); NAFDAC is for food, drugs, cosmetics, and chemicals. Some shipments require neither.
Do I need a CAC-registered company to import?
For commercial volumes, yes — or you can import through EuroVista's brokerage as the named importer of record. Personal-use shipments have separate thresholds.
