Legal & governance
Nohena is decision support for African import clearance with a defensible audit trail. The four documents below are summarized here; the full text loads with JavaScript enabled.
Terms of Service
Nohena prepares declarations and supporting packs. It does not file with the Nigeria Customs Service, does not lodge on B’Odogwu, and does not move cargo. The licensed agent lodges and remains the party that interacts with government systems. Outputs are advisory. Nohena is not liable for customs penalties, reassessments, demurrage, or seizure arising from a lodged declaration; the importer and the lodging agent retain statutory responsibility. These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Read the Terms of Service.
Privacy Policy (NDPA 2023)
Trade documents carry commercial and personal data, which Nohena treats as sensitive under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023. Where document understanding and classification use third-party AI or OCR providers, Nohena minimizes and, where feasible, redacts the data sent, prefers providers offering no-training terms, and documents where processing occurs. Read the Privacy Policy.
Data governance
Nohena keeps an append-only, tamper-evident audit trail and strict per-organization tenant isolation, so one firm’s data is never visible to another. Third-party model and OCR calls are minimized and prefer no-training terms, and hosting respects Nigerian data-protection expectations under the NDPA 2023. Read the Data governance policy.
Liability stance
Nohena is decision support with a defensible audit trail; it does not remove legal responsibility. Under Nigerian rules the importer is ultimately liable for HS-code accuracy and customs value, and the lodging agent is responsible for the declaration they submit. Using Nohena does not transfer that responsibility. Read the Liability stance.
