Nigeria's quiettrade-compliance partner.
For over a decade GARI LEGAS Global Services has helped exporters move regulated goods into Nigeria — certified, cleared and on time. We work in the background so your supply chain stays in the foreground.
Our mission
Make compliance the easiest part of trading with Nigeria.
Cross-border trade into Nigeria is one of the most regulated flows in West Africa. SONCAP, PAAR, Form M, NAFDAC, customs HS classification — each step is a checkpoint where a missing signature can hold a container for weeks.
We exist to remove that friction. GARI LEGAS combines accredited inspection partnerships, deep regulatory relationships and a disciplined operating system to deliver certificates that clear on first presentation — every time.
What we stand for
Four principles, every shipment.
Integrity first
Every certificate we issue is backed by genuine inspection, traceable documentation and full regulator alignment.
Precision execution
We work to the letter of SONCAP, PAAR and Nigeria Customs procedures so your shipment is never the reason for a delay.
Partnership at scale
From a single PC to thousands of SKUs, we treat your operation as our own — responsive, predictable, accountable.
Quiet excellence
No noise, no surprises. Clear pricing, clear timelines, clear status — the kind of compliance partner you forget to worry about.
