Bridging the Gap Between Nigeria and the World: USA, UK, Canada, and Europe
To our fellow Nigerians in Houston, London, Toronto, Berlin, and everywhere in between—and to our esteemed local partners across the 36 states—Welcome Home. The launch of the official PKA Logistics Ltd digital hub is not just another website launch; it is the fulfillment of a decade-long promise to provide a transparent, licensed, and technologically advanced logistics alternative to the “freelance agent” culture.
In an era where the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has transitioned to a fully paperless, 48-hour clearing cycle (as of Q2 2026), and the National Single Window Platform has become the gold standard for trade, you need a partner who speaks the language of modern logistics. Whether you are shipping a single luxury vehicle, a fleet of industrial machinery, or 40ft containers of raw materials, PKA Logistics Ltd is your “boots on the ground” at 1 Warehouse Road, Apapa.
Our 2026 Service Ecosystem: Beyond Traditional Forwarding
At PKA Logistics, we have evolved with the Nigerian maritime industry. Our services are tailored to the specific needs of the 2026 trader:
1. Expert Customs Brokerage & The National Single Window
The days of manual document running are over. We are fully integrated into the National Single Window Platform launched in March 2026.
- PAAR Processing: We expedite your Pre-Arrival Assessment Report to ensure your cargo is cleared before it even hits the quay.
- Form M & NXP Handling: For our clients in the UK and USA, we manage the technicalities of Form M (for imports) and Form NXP (for exports), ensuring 100% compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
2. Global Freight Forwarding (USA, UK, Canada, Europe)
We have established strategic consolidation hubs in Houston (USA), Montreal (Canada), and London (UK).
- Air Freight: 48-72 hour delivery from major global hubs to Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
- Sea Freight: Weekly sailings of 20ft and 40ft containers to Lekki Deep Sea Port, Apapa, and Tin Can Island.
3. Specialized Vehicle Clearing (The 2026 Standard)
Shipping a car to Nigeria in 2026 requires surgical precision due to the VIN Valuation System.
- Age Limit Compliance: We guide you through the latest 12-year and 15-year age restrictions to prevent customs seizure.
- Luxury Car Concierge: We specialize in the safe handling of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and high-end SUVs, ensuring they are cleared and delivered in enclosed haulage trucks.
4. Industrial Equipment Leasing & Haulage
The journey doesn’t end at the port. With a fleet of GPS-tracked trailers and heavy-duty cranes, we offer:
- Last-Mile Delivery: Secure transit from the port to your warehouse or project site.
- Equipment Rental: Short and long-term leasing for construction and oilfield projects.
Why PKA Logistics is the Choice for the Nigerian Diaspora
The “No-Vandalism” Guarantee
One of the biggest “pain points” for Nigerians in Canada and the USA is the fear of vehicle vandalism at the port. By leveraging our presence at the Lekki Deep Sea Port—Nigeria’s most automated maritime gateway—and our secure terminal at Apapa, we minimize human interference. Your cargo stays sealed until it is in our hands.
Transparent Landed Cost Estimates
We believe in “Logistics without Surprises.” When you request a quote, we provide a Landed Cost Estimate that includes:
- Terminal Handling Charges (THC)
- Customs Duties & Levies
- NPA & NIMASA Fees
- Agency Professional Fees
Physical Presence: 1 Warehouse Road, Apapa
In a world of “ghost agents,” we are a physical reality. Our headquarters is located at the epicenter of Nigerian trade. This allows us to have real-time, face-to-face interactions with Customs officials and port authorities, resolving queries in hours, not weeks.
The 2026 Logistics Outlook: The Lekki & Onne Advantage
As we look at the 2026 fiscal year, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) is targeting record-breaking revenue through efficiency. PKA Logistics is at the forefront of this growth. We are steering more clients toward the Lekki Deep Sea Port to take advantage of its 24-container-wide reach cranes and automated scanning, which virtually eliminates the “bottlenecks” associated with older ports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How long does it take to clear a 40ft container in Lagos in 2026? With the new One-Stop-Shop (OSS) platform and our digital integration, we aim for a 48 to 72-hour clearing window once the vessel has finished discharging, provided your PAAR and documentation were pre-processed.
2. Can I ship a car from the USA if it is older than 12 years? In 2026, the Nigeria Customs Service strictly enforces the age limit for passenger vehicles. While there are specific exemptions for “classic cars” or specialized heavy duty trucks, we strongly advise consulting us before purchase to avoid total forfeiture.
3. What is the “cheapest way to ship a car from Houston to Nigeria”? While RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) is the most economical, for luxury vehicles, we recommend Containerized Shipping. The slight increase in cost is a small price to pay for the security of your interior components and electronics.
4. How do I process a Form M from the UK? PKA Logistics manages Form M processing for UK exporters digitally. You provide the proforma invoice, and we coordinate with your Nigerian bank to secure the e-Form M and the subsequent PAAR.
5. Are your haulage trucks insured? Yes. All PKA Logistics haulage operations are covered by Goods-In-Transit (GIT) Insurance, giving you total peace of mind as your cargo moves across Nigerian roads.

“Logistics is the lifeblood of the Nigerian economy. For our brothers and sisters abroad, every container sent home is a seed of development. At PKA Logistics Ltd, we don’t just clear goods; we clear the path for your success. We are officially open, officially ready, and officially yours.”
