Which Nigerian ports do freight forwarders use?

The Lagos complex of Apapa and Tin Can Island handles most of Nigeria’s container trade, with the new deep-water Lekki Port relieving congestion and taking larger vessels. Onne and Port Harcourt serve the oil-and-gas east. Air cargo moves through Lagos (LOS) and Abuja (ABV).

Why use a licensed clearing agent in Nigeria?

A licensed clearing and forwarding agent manages the Nigeria Customs Service declaration, Form M and PAAR documentation, terminal handling, and duty payment — critical for navigating port procedures and avoiding demurrage. Most forwarders on CargoLinked provide this as a core service.
