What We Move. How We Move It.

From individual shipments to complex supply chains, PAYZ manages the movement, documentation and coordination behind every delivery across air, ocean, road, and customs corridors.

Service 01 • Ocean, Air & Land

Freight Forwarding

"End-to-end coordination for sea, air and land freight, with careful attention to timing, routing, documentation and cost."

We partner with world-class ocean carriers and international cargo airlines to secure reliable allocation, timely vessel departures, and competitive tariff frameworks for Nigerian importers and exporters.

Service 02 • Compliance & Clearance

Customs Brokerage

"Experienced handling of customs documentation, regulatory requirements, compliance and clearance processes."

Customs clearance in Nigeria requires meticulous documentary accuracy and an in-depth understanding of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) automated systems. PAYZ guides commercial enterprises through import/export regulations, eliminating unnecessary duty queries, penalties, and port terminal demurrage.

Form M & PAAR Advisory End-to-end guidance on electronic Form M generation via authorized dealer commercial banks and Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) issuance prior to vessel arrival.
HS Code Classification & Valuation Precise Harmonized System (HS) code assignment, Common External Tariff (CET) optimization, and duty assessment that prevents dispute-driven cargo holding.
Regulatory Approvals (NAFDAC, SONCAP, NESREA) Seamless coordination with statutory regulatory authorities for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, industrial, and electrical merchandise inspections.
