Import operations by Royal Purple Express

From overseas supplier to your warehouse door.

Bringing goods in? We handle the entire process, from supplier coordination overseas to final delivery at your warehouse in Port Harcourt, Lagos or any major city.

Overview

The whole inbound journey, one team.

Whether it is industrial equipment, FMCG or spare parts, we ensure smooth entry. Supplier liaison, proforma review and pre-shipment inspection happen before your goods ship, so surprises are caught at origin, not at the port.

On arrival, PAAR, Form M, SONCAP and all duty payments are managed by one coordinator, with duty optimisation and audit support protecting your margins the whole way.

Customer stories

Proven results across Nigerian supply chains.

The businesses we move, in their own words. Different sectors, same outcome: cargo cleared and moving.

Solar energy logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

Solar hubs and battery packs, cleared for off-grid rollout.

Jaza Energy builds solar-powered hubs that rent portable battery packs to households living beyond the grid. Every hub begins life as an import.

“A hub cannot open until the equipment lands, and battery packs are never simple cargo to bring in. Royal Purple Express handles the classification and the clearance, then runs the delivery out to the sites, so our installation teams find a complete consignment waiting for them instead of half a hub.”

Offshore oil and gas logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

Offshore project equipment, alongside before the vessel sails.

Hydrodive runs diving, ROV and subsea construction services across Nigerian and West African waters, where one late component can hold an entire vessel.

“Offshore work runs on vessel windows, and one missing component can hold an entire spread. Their team has the documentation done before the shipment arrives and moves equipment between Lagos, Onne and Port Harcourt to meet us at the quay. We mobilise on the date we planned to.”

Technology and procurement logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

High-value IT and networking equipment, handled end to end.

Cinqtech supplies IT, networking and engineering procurement to clients across oil and gas, banking and construction.

“We bring in equipment that is expensive, easily damaged and always tied to a client deadline. Royal Purple Express clears it quickly and handles it properly on the way, so we are never the ones explaining a port delay to a bank or an oil and gas client.”

Manufacturing logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

Raw material into Kano, without stopping the extrusion lines.

Fas Agro manufactures woven polypropylene sacks and packaging from its plant in Kano, supplying Nigeria's agricultural and commercial sectors.

“Our raw material lands in Lagos and our factory is in Kano, so the inland leg matters every bit as much as the clearance. They schedule deliveries around our production plan rather than the port's convenience, and the extrusion lines keep running.”

Marine and dredging logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

Dredging and marine equipment delivered into the Niger Delta.

Lead Ultimate Resources provides marine, dredging and engineering services to the oil and gas industry across the Niger Delta.

“Dredging plant is heavy, oversized and always needed sooner than anyone admits. They plan the permits and the routing for the low-beds and run the clearance alongside it, so the equipment reaches site ready to work instead of sitting somewhere waiting on paperwork.”

Electric mobility logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

Electric motorcycles and batteries, rolled out state by state.

Spiro operates one of Africa's largest electric motorcycle and battery-swapping networks, and entered Nigeria through Ogun State.

“Bikes, batteries and swap-station equipment have to arrive together to be worth anything, and the batteries bring their own paperwork with them. Royal Purple Express clears the whole consignment and gets it out to each new hub as we open up another state.”

Gas and transport logistics, a Royal Purple Express customer story

CNG conversion kits and cylinders, delivered to the centres that fit them.

Nigerian Gas & Transportation Solutions converts commercial vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, supporting Nigeria's shift to cheaper fuel.

“Conversion kits and CNG cylinders are pressure equipment, so the documentation has to be right and the handling has to be careful. They keep our conversion centres stocked, which means our fitting capacity is never sitting idle waiting on stock.”
