How to clear the customs of hotel supplies exported to Nigeria by SONCAP certification

Nigeria's National Bureau of Standards (SON) is a government agency responsible for formulating and implementing quality standards for imported goods and domestic products. In order to ensure that the controlled products meet the technical standards approved by the country or other international standards, and to protect Nigerian consumers from unsafe products or substandard products, the National Bureau of Standards of Nigeria has decided to implement a compulsory pre-shipment conformity assessment procedure (hereinafter referred to as SONCAP) for the controlled products exported to the country.

SONCAP certification of hotel supplies exported to Nigeria mainly involves two steps: SONCAP=PC+COC.

1, the exporter or manufacturer applies for PC certificate; PC is the abbreviation of product certificate.

2. The exporter applies for COC certificate; COC is the abbreviation of certificate of conformity.

SONCAP certificate is a legal and necessary document for customs clearance of controlled products in Nigeria. Lack of SONCAP certificate will delay the customs clearance of controlled products or refuse to enter Nigeria's domestic market. It is particularly important to note that SONCAP is applicable to controlled products, and other import procedures stipulated by the Nigerian government are still valid.
