This method allows you to only pay for the space you use, making it cost-effective for small volume shipments.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is an optimal choice when your cargo is less than 13-15 cubic meters (CBM). This option lends itself to better flexibility as it does not require a full container, accommodating smaller volumes more effectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Suppose you&#8217;re a digital electronics retailer shipping 10 CBM of gaming consoles from Shanghai to Lagos. By using LCL freight, you can efficiently manage your inventory without having to wait for enough stock to fill a full container.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> The cost for LCL shipping will generally include loading, unloading, and a proportional freight rate based on the volume of your lcl shipment. While it may be more expensive per CBM compared to a Full Container Load (FCL), it can be more cost-effective for smaller volumes since you only pay for the space you use.

This type of shipping is mainly used in long haul ocean freight.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> FCL shipping is the preferred option when you have a substantial volume of goods, typically more than 13\/14\/15 CBM. This type of shipping reduces risk as the container is sealed at the origin and remains sealed until it reaches its destination, enhancing the safety of your shipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine you&#8217;re a Nigeria-based furniture manufacturer sourcing large volumes of raw materials from China. Using FCL, you could secure a 20&#8217;ft or 40&#8217;ft container to transport your goods. This method ensures your materials are not mixed with other shippers&#8217; goods and are protected from damage or loss during transit.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Although an FCL shipping quote might appear higher than its LCL (Less than Container Load) counterpart, it&#8217;s generally more affordable for large shipments because you&#8217;re paying a flat rate for the entire container. Also, with less handling of goods, FCL minimizes the potential for damage-related costs, making it a cost-effective and safe option for high-volume shipping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-d7449cc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d7449cc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e458337\" data-id=\"e458337\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6bf5260 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6bf5260\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-664e21f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"664e21f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Choosing between consolidation and a full container isn&#8217;t always clear-cut.

In the context of Nigeria, it involves multiple Depending on the goods you&#8217;re importing from China, Nigeria applies a Unified Tariff system. Here&#8217;s how you can find the applicable tariff rate:<\/p><p>Firstly, you have to determine your product&#8217;s Harmonized System code (HS code), a standard international system to classify traded products. Assume that you&#8217;re importing bicycles from China, and the HS code is 871200.<\/p><p>Next, use the <a href=\"https:\/\/customs.gov.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #920d12;\"><strong>Nigerian Customs Service<\/strong><\/span><\/a> Tariff portal to input your HS code, discovering the import tariff for bicycles is 20%. You&#8217;ll also have to account for Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) values, which are part of the product&#8217;s total landed cost. Let&#8217;s say, the CIF for your imported bicycles is $10,000.<\/p><p>Given these details, here&#8217;s how you calculate the import duty:<\/p><p><strong>Import Duty = (Import Tariff\/100) CIF. In our scenario: Import Duty = (20\/100) 10,000 = $2,000.<\/strong><\/p><p>Therefore, you would be expected to pay $2,000 in import duties for bicycles shipped from China to Nigeria. This is your key to navigating import tariffs and making informed decisions for your business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62a2865 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"62a2865\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><p>Importing goods into Nigeria from China isn&#8217;t simply a case of paying the standard tariff rate, other <span style=\"color: #920d12;\"><strong>import taxes and duties<\/strong><\/span> may apply.<\/p><p><strong>Think of an &#8216;excise duty&#8217; as a domestic tax that&#8217;s applied to particular goods, such as cigarettes or alcohol. For example, if you&#8217;re importing cigarettes worth $500 into Nigeria from China, the Nigerian government might levy an excise duty of 10%, amounting to $50.<\/strong><\/p><p>Anti-dumping taxes can also be an additional cost if goods are sold in the Nigerian market for less than their normal value. Imagine this scenario, a Chinese company exports bicycles to Nigeria at a price significantly lower than the normal local price, causing material injury to Nigeria\u2019s bicycle industry. To counter this, the Nigerian government may impose an anti-dumping tax.<\/p><p><strong>Finally, the Value Added Tax (VAT), an indirect tax on the consumption of goods and services in the economy. This usually carries the greatest impact on the total import cost. Nigeria&#8217;s current VAT rate is 7.5%. Thus, if your total import cost including all duties and taxes is $1000, the VAT charged would be $75.<\/strong><\/p><p>Remember, these are hypothetical figures and the actual tax calculations can vary.

The basic formula is quite simple: it&#8217;s the sum of customs value, VAT, and possibly anti-dumping taxes.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #0e465f;\"><strong>Example one:<\/strong><\/span> If you import goods with a customs value of $10,000 and a duty of 20%, the customs duties would be $2,000.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #0e465f;\"><strong>Example two:<\/strong> <\/span>Add VAT. Let&#8217;s say the VAT is 5%. So, with the same $10,000 customs value and 20% duty, you&#8217;d have $2,500 as the total of customs duties and VAT.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #0e465f;\"><strong>Example three:<\/strong> <\/span>Factor in anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty.

Without those two documents, nothing moves. For sea freight, the Bill of Lading is mandatory. For air freight, it\u2019s the Air Waybill.<\/p><p>But Nigeria is stricter than many importers expect. Depending on your product, you may also need Form M registration, PAAR processing, SONCAP certification for regulated goods, or NAFDAC approval for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Electronics, textiles, and chemicals are frequently inspected.<\/p><p>This is where most first-time importers get stuck. It\u2019s not about having documents, it\u2019s about having them correctly prepared before cargo departs China. If paperwork is wrong, your container can sit at Apapa or Tin Can accumulating demurrage. We review documentation before shipment so clearance doesn\u2019t become a financial surprise.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            Do I really need a licensed customs broker in Nigeria?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>In practice, yes. Nigeria customs clearance requires a licensed clearing agent connected to the customs electronic platform. You cannot simply collect your cargo yourself at the port.<\/p><p>Clearance typically takes 3 to 7 days if documents are clean. If there are valuation disputes or inspection issues, it can take much longer. We\u2019ve seen shipments delayed because the HS code didn\u2019t match the invoice description.<\/p><p>Working with a broker is not optional if you want predictability. We coordinate pre\u2011clearance checks before the vessel arrives so you don\u2019t lose time once your cargo reaches Lagos, Port Harcourt, or Onne.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            Can air freight be cheaper than sea freight between China and Nigeria?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>It depends on volume, not just urgency. In 2026, air freight from China to Nigeria typically ranges between 5 and 11 USD per kg for standard cargo, while express services can reach 14 USD per kg or more. Sea freight LCL averages around 40 to 120 USD per cubic meter, and full containers often range between 1,600 and 4,000 USD depending on season and port.<\/p><p>If your shipment is under roughly 300 kg or below 1 to 2 cubic meters, air freight can be financially competitive once you factor in faster turnover and reduced storage risk.<\/p><p>For anything larger, sea freight wins on cost per unit.

Add inland delivery and clearance, and your goods are exposed for over a month.<\/p><p>Port congestion, handling damage, and container shifts during transshipment are real possibilities. Insurance usually represents a small percentage of cargo value but protects your capital if something goes wrong.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re importing high\u2011value electronics, machinery, or commercial stock, we strongly recommend coverage. It\u2019s cheaper than replacing a container.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            What is the cheapest way to ship from China to Nigeria?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>For large shipments, FCL sea freight is usually the most cost\u2011effective option. In early 2026, 20ft containers commonly range from about 1,600 to 2,800 USD, and 40ft containers from 2,500 to 4,200 USD depending on routing and congestion.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re shipping smaller volumes, LCL consolidation at 40 to 120 USD per cubic meter can reduce upfront cost, but remember that LCL adds handling time and typically 5 to 10 extra days.<\/p><p>The cheapest option is not always the safest operationally.

After clearance, we arrange trucking to your warehouse anywhere in Nigeria.<\/p><p>The key is preparation before arrival. If Form M, valuation, or product certifications are incomplete, storage charges start quickly. We prepare clearance files in advance to reduce that risk.<\/p>                                            <\/div>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-card-2 \">\r\n                                        <h3 class=\"accordion-header\">                                        <button class=\"accordion-button\">\r\n                                            Does Amazon ship to Nigeria?                                        <\/button>\r\n                                        <span class=\"plus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <path d=\"M20 13.2852V27.2852M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#182230\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <span class=\"minus-icon\">\r\n                                            <svg width=\"40\" height=\"41\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 41\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n                                                <rect y=\"0.285156\" width=\"40\" height=\"40\" rx=\"20\" fill=\"white\" \/>\r\n                                                <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_305_7058)\">\r\n                                                    <path d=\"M13 20.2852H27\" stroke=\"#AD1225\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" \/>\r\n                                                <\/g>\r\n                                                <defs>\r\n                                                    <clipPath id=\"clip0_305_7058\">\r\n                                                        <rect width=\"24\" height=\"24\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(8 8.28516)\" \/>\r\n                                                    <\/clipPath>\r\n                                                <\/defs>\r\n                                            <\/svg>\r\n                                        <\/span>\r\n                                        <\/h3>                                        <div class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" style=\"display:none\">\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-body\">\r\n                                                <p>Amazon does ship some items to Nigeria, but not everything.

Without those two documents, nothing moves. For sea freight, the Bill of Lading is mandatory. For air freight, it\\u2019s the Air Waybill.But Nigeria is stricter than many importers expect. Depending on your product, you may also need Form M registration, PAAR processing, SONCAP certification for regulated goods, or NAFDAC approval for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Electronics, textiles, and chemicals are frequently inspected.This is where most first-time importers get stuck. It\\u2019s not about having documents, it\\u2019s about having them correctly prepared before cargo departs China. If paperwork is wrong, your container can sit at Apapa or Tin Can accumulating demurrage. We review documentation before shipment so clearance doesn\\u2019t become a financial surprise.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Do I really need a licensed customs broker in Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In practice, yes. Nigeria customs clearance requires a licensed clearing agent connected to the customs electronic platform. You cannot simply collect your cargo yourself at the port.Clearance typically takes 3 to 7 days if documents are clean. If there are valuation disputes or inspection issues, it can take much longer. We\\u2019ve seen shipments delayed because the HS code didn\\u2019t match the invoice description.Working with a broker is not optional if you want predictability. We coordinate pre\\u2011clearance checks before the vessel arrives so you don\\u2019t lose time once your cargo reaches Lagos, Port Harcourt, or Onne.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Can air freight be cheaper than sea freight between China and Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"It depends on volume, not just urgency. In 2026, air freight from China to Nigeria typically ranges between 5 and 11 USD per kg for standard cargo, while express services can reach 14 USD per kg or more. Sea freight LCL averages around 40 to 120 USD per cubic meter, and full containers often range between 1,600 and 4,000 USD depending on season and port.If your shipment is under roughly 300 kg or below 1 to 2 cubic meters, air freight can be financially competitive once you factor in faster turnover and reduced storage risk.For anything larger, sea freight wins on cost per unit. We usually run both calculations side by side so you can see the real difference before deciding.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Is cargo insurance necessary when shipping to Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Insurance is not legally mandatory, but skipping it is risky. Sea transit from China to Lagos typically takes 27 to 45 days port to port. Add inland delivery and clearance, and your goods are exposed for over a month.Port congestion, handling damage, and container shifts during transshipment are real possibilities. Insurance usually represents a small percentage of cargo value but protects your capital if something goes wrong.If you\\u2019re importing high\\u2011value electronics, machinery, or commercial stock, we strongly recommend coverage. It\\u2019s cheaper than replacing a container.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the cheapest way to ship from China to Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"For large shipments, FCL sea freight is usually the most cost\\u2011effective option. In early 2026, 20ft containers commonly range from about 1,600 to 2,800 USD, and 40ft containers from 2,500 to 4,200 USD depending on routing and congestion.If you\\u2019re shipping smaller volumes, LCL consolidation at 40 to 120 USD per cubic meter can reduce upfront cost, but remember that LCL adds handling time and typically 5 to 10 extra days.The cheapest option is not always the safest operationally. We look at volume, delivery deadline, product sensitivity, and Nigerian clearance risk before recommending a strategy.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Should I choose EXW, FOB, or CIF when buying from China?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"EXW means you control everything from the supplier\\u2019s door. FOB means your supplier handles export clearance in China. CIF means they also book freight to Nigeria.Most Nigerian importers prefer FOB. Why? Because it avoids hidden origin charges that sometimes appear under CIF. With FOB, we control the main freight and ensure correct documentation before departure.If you\\u2019re new to importing, FOB with a trusted freight partner gives you better visibility and fewer surprises once the cargo reaches Lagos.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"My goods have arrived in Lagos. What happens next?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Arrival is only half the journey. Once your container reaches Apapa or Tin Can Island, customs clearance begins. Duties in Nigeria typically range from 5 to 35 percent depending on product classification, plus 7.5 percent VAT.You\\u2019ll need duty assessment, possible inspection, and terminal handling settlement before release. After clearance, we arrange trucking to your warehouse anywhere in Nigeria.The key is preparation before arrival. If Form M, valuation, or product certifications are incomplete, storage charges start quickly. We prepare clearance files in advance to reduce that risk.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does Amazon ship to Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Amazon does ship some items to Nigeria, but not everything. Availability depends on the seller, product category, and delivery method. Many products are restricted or priced with high international shipping fees.Delivery timelines vary widely and import duties may still apply upon arrival. For commercial quantities, Amazon is rarely cost\\u2011effective compared to direct sourcing from China.If you\\u2019re importing for resale, it\\u2019s usually better to purchase directly from manufacturers and organize freight shipping instead of relying on retail cross\\u2011border shipping.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does Temu ship to Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Temu\\u2019s international shipping coverage changes frequently. While some Nigerian customers can place orders, delivery times are inconsistent and product categories may be restricted.For small personal purchases, it can work. For business imports, it is not a reliable supply chain strategy. You have limited control over customs documentation, product compliance, and consolidated shipping.If you\\u2019re building inventory for resale, direct sourcing with controlled freight is far more predictable.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How long does it take to ship from China to Nigeria?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Sea freight usually takes 27 to 45 days port to port depending on origin and Nigerian destination. Shenzhen or Shanghai to Lagos often falls within the 30 to 40 day range. Add customs clearance and inland delivery, and total lead time often reaches 35 to 50 days.Air freight typically takes 5 to 10 days.
