We Manage Your Imports From Source to Door.
Full-cycle import procurement management for Nigerian businesses sourcing from China and Asia. One partner for supplier identification, payment, freight, customs clearance, and delivery.
From the moment you brief us to the moment your cargo arrives — SLS handles every step.
Supplier Identification & Verification
We identify production-ready suppliers from our verified network across China and Asia. Every supplier is vetted for production capacity, quality standards, export history, and reliability before your funds are committed.
Price Negotiation
Our sourcing team negotiates pricing, lead times, and production terms on your behalf — leveraging volume and market knowledge to secure competitive rates.
Purchase Order Management
We prepare and manage all purchase order documentation, track production progress, and maintain a continuous audit trail from order placement to shipment.
Payment via Third-Party Escrow
Your funds are secured with an independent third-party escrow provider. Payment to suppliers is only released upon verified shipment confirmation.
Pre-Shipment Inspection
Where required, SLS coordinates pre-shipment quality inspection to confirm goods match your specification before loading.
Export Documentation
Full management of China-side export paperwork — packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, and customs declarations.
Cargo Consolidation & Ocean Freight
Goods are consolidated at our partner facilities in China and booked onto the next available vessel on the appropriate Nigeria route.
Nigerian Customs Clearance
Our brokerage team manages all Nigerian import documentation — Form M processing, SON compliance, duty calculation and payment, and port release.
Inland Transportation
From port to your nominated distribution point via the SLS transportation network.
Last-Mile Delivery
Final delivery to your warehouse, retail locations, or end customers, with delivery confirmation at every handover point.
Your Funds Are Protected at Every Stage.
We understand that sending payment for goods you have not received carries real risk. The SLS payment structure is designed to eliminate that risk entirely.
You transfer funds to escrow
Your purchase amount goes to an independent regulated third-party escrow account. SLS does not hold your funds.
Supplier notified, production begins
The escrow provider confirms receipt and notifies the supplier that funds are secured. No funds have yet been released.
SLS manages production
We track progress, quality checks, and cargo preparation. You receive updates throughout.
Payment released on verified shipment
Only upon verified loading and bill of lading issuance does escrow release payment to the supplier.
You receive proof of dispatch
Complete shipment documentation provided — bill of lading, packing list, commercial invoice as verified proof.
Full protection. Full transparency. You are in control at every step.
