About Us


ASF Bonded Terminals operates a customs‑bonded terminal and warehousing facility in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. We help importers store goods under customs supervision, prepare shipments, and pay import duties when the goods actually leavebond for local use—or move them onward for re‑export.

Our role is simple: keep your cargo secure, compliant, and moving—without tying up cash before you need to.

Our Heritage


ASF Bonded Terminals grew out of Air Sea Freighters, established in 1998. We learned the work the hard way: at the quayside, in the yard, and on the road between Port Harcourt, Lagos, and Abuja. Day after day, we moved what mattered and kept listening to what importers actually needed.

 

Our Services


Container Yard & Handling

We receive your containers (full or partial-load), unload them, sort and stage the cargo, and can even repack or combine shipments so everything’s ready for the next step.

Customs Supervision & Compliance

Your goods stay in a secure area under customs oversight. We keep clean records and provide stock visibility, so inspections and paperwork are straightforward.

Cargo Processing & Value-Add

Need checks before release? As a bonded terminal, our team of professionals handle
inspections, quality control, relabeling, and documentation. When your cargo leaves
the terminal, you can rest assured it’s ready for sale or onward shipping.

Last-Mile Readiness

After duty payment, ASF coordinates cargo release and onward transport to your
factory, warehouse/distribution center, or a port/airport for re-export.

Customs Bonded Warehouse/Container Terminal

Secure, compliant storage that pays you back in time and cash flow…

At ASF Bonded Terminals in Port Harcourt, your cargo arrives, settles, and gets market ready under Nigerian Customs supervision.

Importers use bond to hold stock before paying duties, finish checks and prep, and release in full or in stages.

Exporters use bond to consolidate orders, repack or relabel, complete paperwork, and move goods to seaport or airport without triggering local duties that do not apply.

What You Get

You have bonded warehousing with controlled access and clear records, plus a container yard for FCL and LCL. While cargo remains in bond, we coordinate inspections, basic quality checks, relabeling, repacking, and consolidation so shipments leave ready for local delivery or export. When it is time to move, we arrange release after duties are paid for imports, or we marshal export cargo to the vessel or aircraft with the right documents in hand.

 

Why It Works In Nigeria

Bonded storage supports international trade. Cargo often passes through several
countries before reaching or leaving Nigeria. In bond, it avoids being taxed in transit, and duties in Nigeria are paid only when imported goods enter the local market. For exports, bond lets you stage and consolidate shipments, supply vessels or aircraft, or move cargo outward without unnecessary local tax. The result is less port pressure, cleaner paperwork, and better cash flow.

 

Who It Is For

Importers bringing goods into Nigeria who want predictability and stronger cash management. Exporters who need time and space to combine orders, prepare  documentation, and meet sailing or flight schedules. Teams in Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, FMCG, Health and Pharma, and Diplomatic or NGO cargo that value compliance and timing.

How We Run It

We receive and secure your cargo, keep it visible and documented, complete any required processing in bond, and then release and move it according to your plan. For imports, that means duty payment, release, and transport to your factory or warehouse.
