I have been planning on shipping a 40ft container to Nigeria from Namibia but i was recently told by my shipping company that i have to provide them a form M as required by Nigerian customs. Now i have checked on the Nigerians customs website and it seems the process of getting the form M is very hectic and time consuming.

Please note that the items i am shipping are brand new personal effects which i want to use in my house,i don't understand why they are making it so complicated for us to ship our items home.I am also considering shipping the items to cotonue - Benin and bring them into Nigeria through the border but i am not sure if this is a good idea.Can the shipping agents or experienced shippers on NL please advise me on what to do.Thank you in Advance.
