We, at WOLID International Limited, are experts in temporary importation and bond management services for foreign machinery, automobiles, equipment, and vessels coming into Nigeria for temporary operation. 

Regardless of the purpose of your assets—whether offshore work, construction projects, exhibitions, maintenance work, or other specialized services—we ensure that they enter Nigerian shores legally and leave with promptness and minimal financial risk exposure.

We work closely with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and other responsible authorities to ensure strict compliance and timely bond processing so that you have complete peace of mind throughout the project cycle.

What Is Temporary Importation? 

Temporary importation allows foreign-owned ships or equipment to enter Nigeria for a specific purpose and time frame, without a full payment of customs duties, as long as they are to be exported afterwards. This is required in sectors like:

• Oil & gas
• Maritime services
• Construction & dredging
• Aviation ground support
• Trade fairs and technical exhibitions

Instead of paying full import duty upfront, a customs bond is submitted as a financial guarantee, holding the temporary goods to be exported on declaration. No duty has to be paid if the terms are met.

WOLID’s Total Temporary Importation Process 

WOLID manages the entire life cycle of your temporary importation, which covers:

• Clearance by customs at entry port
• Preparation and submission of import bond documents
• Issuance of Temporary Importation Permit (TIP)
• Coordination with Nigeria Customs and port authorities
• Management of cargo entry and tracking while in operation
• Clean export documents on the job’s completion
• Cancellation and return of the import bond

We are your compliance partner, ensuring that all documents, timelines, and procedures comply with regulations to avoid fines or loss of bond. 

Expert Bond Management Services

When equipment or foreign ships are imported into Nigeria temporarily, a financial bond (insurance bond or bank bond) is required to cover potential duty liability. WOLID guarantees your bond will be:

• Precisely calculated based on customs valuation
• Backed up by well-established Nigerian financial institutions or underwriters
• Flawlessly submitted and documented to Customs authorities
• Guarded closely until the goods re-export
• Cancelled and delivered smoothly upon job completion

We also aid in bond renewal and extension when project timelines are adjusted. Our initiative in following up and precise reporting enables you to maintain good standing in customs and maximize your cash flow.
