Here we discuss your specific shipping requirements, including the type of goods, preferred shipping method (sea or air), and any special handling needs.

Based on our 20+ years of experience in shipping packages from China to Nigeria we also offer advice, ensuring timely delivery of your goods while keeping costs low.

2. Quotation and Agreement:

This quote will include all costs associated with the shipment, ensuring there are no hidden fees.

Upon agreement to the terms and costs, we move to the next step. [You will find a breakdown of shipping costs in this article]

3. Documentation and Preparation:

In this step, you will need to provide some documents which we will need to complete the shipping process.

The major documents we need from you include:
  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Shipper’s letter of instruction.
  • Certificate of origin.
Don’t know how to get these documents? No problem, we will work with you to develop each of the documents required for the shipping and clearance process.


4. Shipping Process:

Now that everything is in place to ship your goods, your manufacturer or supplier, who already has our China warehouse address, will send the goods to our warehouse. 

From there, the items will be consolidated and prepared for shipping, whether by air or sea, based on your preference. We also offer express shipping services for urgent deliveries. Rest assured, all goods are packaged in compliance with China’s customs regulations.

At our warehouse, if necessary, your goods may be repackaged or receive additional protective packaging, especially for fragile items, to ensure they remain undamaged during transit. 

We take extra care to handle your goods, pack them securely, and label them accurately to prevent any issues during shipment.

5. Arrival and Delivery:

Upon arrival at the Nigeria port, our expert customs brokers at SARA take care of the customs clearance process and ensure that your goods are cleared fast.

As soon as we receive the exit notice from the customs officers, we move your package down to the location we agreed upon - this could be your doorstep or a warehouse.

We also have warehouses in Nigeria that you can use to store your goods till they are needed.

We don’t leave our clients to themselves even after these steps are completed. There is one more thing we offer:

Special Offer: Post-Delivery Support:

After delivery, our customer service team will follow up to ensure you are satisfied with the service or you need us to help you with something else.

We value your feedback and are always available to address any concerns or future shipping needs.
