Buyer takes over at the seller's door and carries every cost from there. Lowest quoted price, highest buyer workload.
Seller clears the goods for export and hands them to the carrier the buyer nominated.
Sea and inland waterway only. Seller delivers alongside the vessel; loading is on the buyer.
Sea and inland waterway only. Risk passes once the goods are on board. The most common buying term.
Seller pays the main carriage but carries no insurance obligation; risk still passes on loading.
As CFR, plus the seller must buy and pay for cargo insurance (minimum cover unless you agree more).
Any mode. Seller pays carriage through to the named destination; insurance is not obligatory.
As CPT, plus the seller must insure the cargo through to the named destination.
Seller delivers unloaded at the named terminal. Renamed DPU (Delivered at Place Unloaded) in Incoterms® 2020.
Seller delivers to your address ready for unloading; import clearance and duty stay with the buyer.
Seller carries everything through to your door, duty and tax included. Highest quoted price, least buyer workload.
Two things worth flagging. Under CIF and CIP the seller is obliged to buy cargo insurance and pay the premium; under every other term insurance is optional, and we recommend buyers arrange their own cover so a loss or damage in transit is recoverable. And this table is a working summary for planning purposes — the binding definitions are the ones published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the Incoterms® rules, so confirm the exact term wording in your sales contract before you ship.
Historical freight rates from China to Nigeria for 100 KG shipments. Data sourced from live carrier price feeds.
Reference figures that shape cost and transit on the China-Nigeria route:

|---|---|
| Destination customs authority | Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) |

Thresholds and duty bands are buyer-planning references, not formal customs rulings — confirm the exact HS-code rate for your goods before shipping.
At 100 KG, you're in the commercial freight category — large enough for competitive rates but still within the range where air freight often beats sea freight on cost per delivery cycle. This weight is common for electronics, clothing, and general merchandise restocking shipments going to Nigeria.

Current rates for shipping from China to Nigeria start at USD 26.60/KG via Air DDP Cleared. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 2,660, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the Import VAT 7.5%; duty 5–35% + 1% CISS + 7% surcharge applied by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
Imports into Nigeria are assessed by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS). The applicable regime is: Import VAT 7.5%; duty 5–35% + 1% CISS + 7% surcharge. The duty-free / de-minimis position is No practical de-minimis; duty applies from low value. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to Nigeria means one all-inclusive price covering freight, the duty/tax due to Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and last-mile delivery to your door. The No practical de-minimis; duty applies from low value de-minimis position is handled for you, and there are no surprise charges at destination.
Freight to Nigeria is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is NGN. Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
For 100 KG to Nigeria, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 7–21 days (congestion common) dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
Capacity to Nigeria tightens around Oct–Dec, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
Sea freight to Nigeria typically routes through Apapa (Lagos), Tin Can Island (Lagos), Onne, while air freight clears via LOS (Lagos), ABV (Abuja), KAN (Kano). We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
Battery cargo by air to Nigeria is accepted with handling controls: built-in batteries follow IATA PI966/PI967, standalone cells need separate classification. We run certified battery channels through LOS (Lagos), ABV (Abuja), KAN (Kano); surcharges add roughly USD 3–8/KG.
