FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines air freight transit time from the USA to Nigeria?
Transit time depends on the departure gateway, the carrier’s schedule and frequency on the lane, the commodity, and how quickly clearance is completed on arrival. We quote the transit for your specific shipment rather than a generic figure.
How is air freight from the USA to Nigeria priced?
Air freight is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, plus origin handling, security screening, and destination charges. Duties and taxes are assessed separately by the authorities. We quote the all-in cost for your shipment before booking.
What Nigerian customs requirements apply?
Clearance is handled by NCS. The consignee needs CAC registration, a TIN and an electronic Form M validated before shipping. The Nigeria Customs Service publishes an Import Prohibition List alongside a list of absolutely prohibited goods, covering items such as used vehicles over twelve years old and a range of food and pharmaceutical products.
Which Nigeria airports receive air freight from the USA?
We route through Lagos (LOS), Abuja (ABV), Kano (KAN), with onward delivery beyond the gateway.
Is pre-shipment certification required?
The Standards Organisation of Nigeria runs SONCAP, a mandatory offshore conformity assessment: a Product Certificate is needed to open the Form M, and the SONCAP Certificate is a mandatory clearance document.
Is there a trade agreement between the USA and Nigeria?
Goods are assessed under the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (there is no US-Nigeria free trade agreement).
What documents are needed?
Electronic Form M validated by an authorised dealer bank, Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), SONCAP Certificate for regulated products, commercial invoice, packing list and air waybill.
What else should I plan for on this lane?
During the harmattan, from late November to March and strongest in January and February, visibility at Nigerian airports can fall below 1,000 m and NiMet issues advisories of disrupted flight schedules.
