Cotecna, your trusted SONCAP partner, for past, present, and future

Therefore, our mandate allows us to accompany exporters and importers throughout the conformity assessment process and assist them in obtaining the mandatory Product and SONCAP Certificates (PC & SC). As a reminder, all shipments of regulated products going into Nigeria must be accompanied by a SONCAP certificate, which is mandatory for import clearance. In the absence of a valid SC at Customs, concerned products will be refused at destination.

Please note that a SONCAP certificate remains mandatory for imports to Nigeria and that the Cross-Border e-Invoicing programme has no impact on the SONCAP programme.

But what are the differences between both certificates? Find out in our recap video!

Of course, should you need more information regarding these certificates or would need our assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
