Product Registration And Compliance

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) is a Nigerian Federal Agency under the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health that is responsible for regulating and controlling the manufacture, importation, exportation, advertisement, distribution, sale and use of Food, Drugs & Medical Devices, Herbals & Cosmetics, Vaccines & Biologics, Chemicals, Narcotics and Veterinary products. Once the product for sale falls under any of these categories, it will have to be registered and certified by NAFDAC.

Items imported into Nigeria for commercial purposes require Standards Organization of Nigeria SON Product Registration.. The importance of Product Registration is to guarantee transparency and traceability during the import process. Registering with SON also helps detection of counterfeit products, and makes circulation of substandard goods less easy to achieve. Seeing the official SON Product Registration Logo and number displayed on your products gives comfort to the consumers about the standard of quality of your products and makes counterfeiting your product a criminal offense.

Our Firm effortlessly helps you with your registration with SON and assists in obtaining both Product Certificate and SONCAP Certificate. We offer strategic compliance advice to avoid the risks of failure to register your goods and products which include seizure of the goods by the Inspectorate and Compliance Directorate, payment of a fine and in some instances, criminal prosecution.

We provide advisory services and assist clients to achieve registration with various regulatory bodies such as National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), amongst others.
