Yes. Air shipments to Nigeria get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), and final delivery.
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.

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.
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 100 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
