Packing a box for home is exciting, and it is easy to fill every corner with whatever family members have asked for. But some items cannot travel at all, and others can only travel with extra care, paperwork or a different shipping method. Rules can change, and they can differ between air and sea freight and by carrier. This is a general guide for shipments from Calgary to Nigeria, not a complete official list.
What you can ship
Allowed
- Clothes, shoes, bags, books, gifts and most household goods, as long as they are packed well and listed clearly.
- Everyday personal items for family, in normal household quantities.
- Sealed, shelf-stable foods that you commonly send home, in modest personal quantities.
- You can also ship by box, by barrel, or send a car. Ask us about the right option for what you are sending.
If you are unsure, ask us before you pack.
Restricted (ask us first)
- Phones, laptops, power banks and other electronics with lithium batteries. Airlines have strict packing rules, and loose batteries and power banks are especially sensitive. Always tell us if your box contains any electronics or batteries.
- Nail polish, nail polish remover, lighter fluid and other flammable liquids. These are commonly restricted, particularly by air. Ask us before you pack them.
- Prescription medicine, over-the-counter tablets and supplements. Keep them in their original labelled packaging and check with us before including them.
- Liquids such as cooking oil, lotions, shampoo and drinks can leak. Even when they are allowed, seal the caps, place bottles in bags and pack them upright. Fresh, frozen or homemade food can spoil in transit and may be refused.
- Large quantities of the same item, and commercial quantities of used clothing. Nigeria’s import rules prohibit commercial imports of second-hand clothing, so ask us before you pack a large used-clothing shipment.
- Cars: Nigerian import rules can depend on the vehicle, including age, make and model. Ask us before you book.
If you are unsure, ask us before you pack.
What we can’t ship
Not allowed
- Weapons, ammunition and replicas, including items that look like real firearms, plus related arms accessories.
- Illegal drugs and controlled substances.
- Counterfeit goods, such as fake designer bags or copied brand items.
- Cash, bank cards and negotiable documents.
- Explosives and fireworks, including party poppers and sparklers.
- Perfumes, aerosols (such as hair spray and spray deodorant) and compressed or pressurized liquids and gas containers. We do not accept these in any shipment, by air or sea.
- Items banned under Nigeria’s import prohibition list, which is updated from time to time. This includes certain spirits and other goods the government does not allow into the country.
- Toxic or nuclear waste, and food declared unfit for human consumption.
If you are unsure, ask us before you pack.
The exact list depends on current regulations and the carrier. A few minutes spent checking the unusual items in your box can save weeks of delay. When in doubt, ask us first, and we will help you choose the right way to ship it.
