When Your Logistics Partner Is not Certified — You Pay the Price

January 12,2026

Let’s keep it real.
There are two kinds of logistics partners in Nigeria:

1️⃣ The ones who know what they’re doing
2️⃣ And the ones who tell you “No worry, we go run am” — with zero licence, zero process, and 100% vibes

Guess which group causes the pain?

The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” Logistics

When you hand your goods, especially imports, to an unlicensed clearing agent or handler, you’re rolling the dice with your money, your time, and sometimes your entire business.

And the consequences?
They get real, fast:

❌ Delays at ports
❌ Goods held by customs
❌ Surprise fines and penalties
❌ Missing documentation
❌ Items seized or forfeited
❌ Endless compliance wahala
❌ Customers wondering why delivery has turned to story

Suddenly, that “cheaper guy” becomes the most expensive decision of the year.

Why Does This Keep Happening?

Because many businesses assume logistics is “just moving goods.”
But customs compliance is a different beast.

You need:

  • Registered clearing professionals
  • Accurate paperwork
  • Proper classification of goods
  • Knowledge of duty rates
  • Process, not prayer
  • Systems… not shortcuts

Compliance is not optional — it’s survival.

Here’s the Good News

You don’t have to take chances.

A certified logistics partner like NAHCO Logistics Services Ltd removes the uncertainty and replaces it with:

✔ Licensed clearing agents
