Every certificate your shipment needs, prepared and verified before it ever reaches a port — so nothing is discovered missing at customs.

OVERVIEW

A shipment can be perfect in every physical respect and still fail — not because of the product, but because of a document that’s missing, incomplete, or doesn’t match what’s actually in the container. We prepare and verify every certificate your shipment requires, and we cross-check the full document set against the physical shipment before it ever leaves Africa — so what’s on paper matches what’s in the crate, every time.

What’s Included

DOC-01

Document Preparation

Every required certificate drafted and filed correctly for your specific commodity and destination market.

DOC-02

Verification & Cross-Checking

Each document checked against the physical shipment — weight, grade, quantity — before anything is finalized.

DOC-03

Inspection Coordination

Liaison with third-party inspection bodies (SGS, Bureau Veritas) to schedule and complete pre-shipment inspection.

DOC-04

Final Document Match

A last check of the complete document set against the shipment immediately before export, catching any late discrepancy.

The Documents Explained

CO – Certificate of Origin

Confirms the country where your commodity was grown or produced. Required by nearly every customs authority to apply correct tariffs.

SGS – SGS / Bureau Veritas Inspection Report

Independent third-party verification of quality, quantity, and condition — issued by an inspector with no stake in the sale.

PHYTO – Phytosanitary Certificate

Confirms the shipment is free from pests and plant disease, issued by the relevant agricultural authority (NAQS in Nigeria).

MSDS – Material Safety Data Sheet

Details the handling, storage, and safety characteristics of the product — required for many processed commodities.

EUR1 – EUR.1 Movement Certificate

Where applicable, confirms preferential trade status between Nigeria and destination markets under relevant trade agreements.

COMPLY – Compliance Certificate

A final consolidated confirmation that the shipment meets all applicable import regulations for its destination.

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

Third-Party Verified. Never Self-Certified.

Every inspection report on your shipment comes from an independent body — SGS or Bureau Veritas — not from us. That’s the difference between a claim and proof.

A complete document set is not optional on any shipment we export — regardless of size or destination. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
