Your mission is to ensure 100% compliance with Nigerian trade regulations while maintaining high clearance velocity. The ideal candidate is a Nigerian citizen with a deep understanding of the PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report) process and the ability to navigate the complexities of port inspections.

• Document Integrity: Organize and verify the accuracy of critical trade documents, including Commercial Invoices, Packing Lists, Bills of Lading, and Form M.

• Inspection Liaison: Directly assist in physical inspections and customs declaration procedures, providing technical support to resolve queries on valuation or classification.

2. Tracking, Problem Solving & Logistics Docking

• Real-time Monitoring: Track shipment progress through the Nigeria Single Window Trade Portal and provide immediate feedback to the team regarding any "abnormal" situations or holds.

• Cross-Border Coordination: Act as the primary technical bridge for our Chinese team, ensuring data filing and logistics docking are synchronized between the origin and destination.

• Issue Resolution: Proactively coordinate the provision of supplementary documents or technical clarifications required during customs queries to prevent demurrage accumulation.

3. Relationship Management & Policy Intelligence

• Strategic Partnerships: Maintain professional relationships with local customs officials and logistics providers to facilitate smoother operational flows.

• Regulatory Intelligence: Stay updated on the latest circulars from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Ministry of Finance regarding import/export policies to optimize our clearance strategies.
