Good to know before importing into Nigeria
Form M first
Open your Form M with your bank before the supplier ships. It is required for customs clearance.
SONCAP for regulated goods
Many products need a SONCAP certificate. We coordinate testing with the supplier.
Lekki Deep Sea Port
The newer port can handle larger ships and may reduce congestion compared to Apapa.

How do I pay a Chinese supplier from Nigeria?
Most suppliers accept bank transfer. We verify the bank account matches the company before you pay.
Do you ship to Abuja or Kano?
Yes. Goods land in Lagos and continue by road.
How much does a sourcing report cost?
A flat research fee covers one product, and each additional product is quoted as an add-on. The exact amount is confirmed before we begin.
