Exhibition transportation and customs clearance of goods

The exhibition does not specify a transportation company for exhibits. Enterprises can contact commonly used freight forwarding companies to handle transportation on their own. The sea transportation and customs clearance cycle is about 3 months. Enterprises need to provide a transportation list by the end of July, and the deadline for sea transportation is mid August. The deadline for air freight is early October, and the shipping cost is very high.

The sea transportation cycle from China to Nigeria is long, the local government is extremely corrupt, and the customs clearance speed of goods is slow. If the product is within the scope of SONCAP control, it must undergo SONCAP certification. In addition, when exporting to Nigeria, the CTN (tracking number) is also essential. With these two things, the destination port can smoothly clear customs.

SONCAP regulated products: toys, electronic and electrical products, automotive products, chemicals, mechanical materials and gas appliances, paper and stationery, and safety protection equipment. Equipment exported to Nigeria must have SONCAP certification in order to clear customs. For information on SONCAP, please refer to the website: http://son.gov.ng/soncap_service

Please consult the exhibition organizer for specific sea transportation procedures and times.
