Customs can feel like the scariest part of shipping to Nigeria. The good news is that most delays come from a few avoidable mistakes. Here’s what you need to know to keep your shipment moving.
1. Describe your items clearly
Vague descriptions like “personal items” or “gifts” can slow clearance. List each type of item, how many, and its approximate value.
2. Be honest about value
Undervaluing goods can lead to delays, extra checks, or penalties. Accurate values make clearance smoother.
3. Keep receipts for new or high-value items
Electronics, phones, and new goods may need proof of value. Keep receipts handy in case they’re requested.
4. Check restricted items before packing
Some goods are restricted or banned for import into Nigeria. Check with us before you pack anything you’re unsure about.
5. Shipping for business? Get your documents ready
Commercial shipments usually need extra paperwork. Our import and export documentation services and customs brokerage team can handle it for you.
