❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Air DDP Cleared from China to Nigeria take?
Air freight on this route runs about 5–10 business days door-to-door, plus roughly 7–21 days of clearance/dwell once it reaches the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP terms.
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Nigeria?
Clearance is handled by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS). The regime is: VAT 7.5%; duty 5–35% + 1% CISS + 7% surcharge, with a de-minimis position of No practical de-minimis. Under DDP these are pre-paid, so nothing is collected on arrival.
Can you ship special cargo (batteries, branded goods) to Nigeria?
Yes — battery cargo by air follows IATA PI966/PI967; we run certified battery channels via LOS (Lagos), ABV (Abuja), KAN. Brand-goods and DG paperwork are handled within the DDP service. Surcharges apply.
When does capacity tighten on the China–Nigeria lane?
Space and rates tighten around Oct–Dec, plus the China-side windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Book 1–2 weeks earlier in these periods.
What does DDP shipping to Nigeria include on this route?
DDP means one price covering freight, the duty/tax owed to Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and last-mile delivery to your door in Nigeria. There are no surprise charges at destination.
How is the shipping cost on this route calculated?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000) and charge the greater, rounded up to the next kilogram, then apply the per-KG rate shown in the table above.
