For regulated goods entering Nigeria, plan for: SONCAP product certification required before shipment. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (SONCAP product certification required before shipment). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
Minimums to Nigeria vary by channel: air DDP from about 21 KG (some from 12 KG), sea LCL from roughly 1 CBM, and express courier for single parcels. Below 21 KG, express is usually the most economical way into Nigeria.
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 21 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
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.
