Iyajelili:okay, so how much would be the clearing from your experience? I mean average estimate. |

Iyajelili:Oh I see. I hope dem no go blow 2Million for person head to clear ooo. Anyway, I have a childhood friend at the port and he would be of good help in that department to ensure I am not exploited lol. |

aonag:Okay, now I get what you meant. My own question was mostly from China's sea port to Nigeria's sea port, it excluded transport from seller's base to the sea port because I assumed that won't be much. |

motherfucker:. there are different shipping company and you don't need to stress yourself much on this. what you need to do is to inform the company you want to place order from in China to get you different shipping line from China to Nigeria with prices and how many days does it takes their container to arrive in Nigeria. the shipping price and date of arrival is different from one shipping line to another. what kind of product do you intend to import from China to Nigeria? are you sure that the product is not contraband. Do you intend to get SONCAP certificate because it is very importation while you are about to clear your goods when it arrived in Nigeria. |

Iyajelili:Thank you so much. You have been the most helpful here. God bless you. What if I want the container to be shipped by Maersk from China to Nigeria and I tell my manufacturer that that is what I want, can they make that happen and how do I pay Maersk without fear? |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by americanson: 11:13am On Apr 17, 2018 |
bonario1:Thanks. The product is not contraband. It is a portable machine used in the fashion industry. How do I get the SONCAP and does it cost money to get it? |

americanson:Let me tell you how we do ours, we have at least 2manufacturing companies we buy things from and from the beginning they handle our shipping, so already the shipping freight which has a fixed price will be included in the PFI (proforma invoice). The company then send the name of the shipping company to us and usually our agent handles the rest till we get our goods. I don't know if this helps in any way |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by Iyajelili(f): 11:24am On Apr 17, 2018 |
americanson:It won't be anything close to that but you can budget 800k which 200k will be returned to you by the shipping company after offloading your goods, like I said it depends on the agent you'll be using. |

The first thing to consider when shipping is the terms of the contract. If it's an FOB (Free On Board) deal, then buyer pays for freight, but if it CnF or CIF then buyer pays. The seller is always responsible for shipping but not always for freight. Freight is the charges paid to the shipping line for their services. Shipping in this case refers to loading and transport of the container to the port. Buyers also make inputs in the choice of shipping lines to be used depending on factors that are favourable to them. All of these depends on if the FCL was gotten from the same buyer. The cost of clearing a container depends on the nature of the products been imported. Some products like Afro machineries attract 0% duty while other products like motor vehicles attract as high as 35% duty. Also every container coming to Nigeria must have a Form M and BA No duly approved by the CBN through a commercial bank. In my opinion, freight cost is part of the last things to be considered during container importation and I would like to advise the OP and any other interested person to do more research on the type of product, duty incurred and other logistics before embarking on this venture. It can make you or burn you badly. 6 Likes |

Jethrolite:Oh, I see. Thanks a lot. Another aspect I just noticed is the Form M requirements. Who handles that? I or the shipping company? |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by americanson: 11:54am On Apr 17, 2018 |
Iyajelili:Thanks a lot. I just discovered that there need to be a Form M prepared before embarking on importing the product. Is it the shipping company that will handle that or myself? |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by Nobody: 11:57am On Apr 17, 2018 |
americanson: you have to include all that... because those are the annoying misc that raises the total cost except if you are buying from just one manufacturer, of which, they would also include that too...just yesterday someone from china, a chinese who knows the nigeria market well told me its costs 2200 to ship from there to nigeria and that his office was close to a certain port he mentioned.. 1 Like |

americanson:You can bypass form M, you are the handler. Form M allows you to buy dollar at official rate to pay supplier but can be tedious to obtain. |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by americanson: 12:07pm On Apr 17, 2018 |
aonag:Thanks. It is getting clearer. I am buying from one manufacturer only. I know it adds up the cost but I very certain that the cost will not be up to $1000, am I right? So if the shipping fee from China to Nigeria is $2200 according to your Chinese friend, we can add some extras to the $2200 for cost of moving the goods from base source to the Chinese port. |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by americanson: 12:10pm On Apr 17, 2018 |
Jethrolite:Oh really? What I was reading online minutes ago made it look like it is MUST because of some monies that should be paid to the government in Nigeria and the required looks tedious like you stated. |
Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by Iyajelili(f): 12:14pm On Apr 17, 2018 |
americanson:Yes, all what the man up there said are nothing but the truth. It will help a lot |

Nice thread. But the same time building wealth for Chinese manufacturers from here in Nigeria. I wonder when Nigeria will revive its manufacturing. |

Re: How Do You Ship Container Of Product From China To Nigeria? by Nobody: 12:37pm On Apr 17, 2018 |
americanson: if you are buying a container load from one manufacturer, you dont have any problem really because they would tell you/know how much of your goods would fit into one container and they would calculate freight cost for you all inclusive. its when its at the port they send you your BOL and all that.. |
