Almost every parcel entering Nigeria is assessed for import duty. The Nigeria Customs Service classifies your goods by HS code and sets the rate, so two boxes of the same weight can be charged very differently. African import duties tend to run higher than what people expect from other lanes, and Nigeria is on the higher end, so it is worth checking the category before you ship rather than being surprised at delivery.
As an indicative guide for 2026, most consumer goods fall in a 5–35% duty band, with electronics and general merchandise often landing around 10–20%, on top of a 7.5% VAT. There can also be smaller levies such as ETLS, port and inspection charges. The receiver (the person or company named on the parcel) is responsible for paying duty and VAT before customs releases the goods. Confirm the current rate for your item on the Nigeria Customs Service site linked above.
Clearance in Nigeria can take longer than the flight itself, especially through Lagos, so plan for a few extra days. We prepare a clear commercial invoice and packing list, use accurate HS codes and correct values, and keep you updated as the parcel moves through customs. If duty is due we tell you the likely amount up front so there are no shocks, and we help the receiver with the documents customs asks for.
Air express is the right choice for most parcels, samples and urgent business stock. Your box leaves Dubai and clears in Lagos or Abuja within roughly 4–6 days, fully tracked, which is why online sellers and small businesses use it for anything time-sensitive.
Sea freight only makes sense for large, heavy or bulky loads where you can wait several weeks. It is far cheaper per kilo once you are moving cubic metres of goods, but the transit is measured in weeks, not days, and clearance at the port adds more time.

Pricing starts from about AED 320, with roughly AED 52 per kg after the base. As a rough guide, a 5kg parcel works out near AED 550 all in. That is typically well below standard retail courier counter rates for the same weight, and we confirm the exact figure once we know the city and box size.
Air express usually lands in 4–6 days to major cities like Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. Customs clearance can add a day or two, particularly through Lagos, so we build that into the estimate rather than promising a date we cannot keep.
Import duty is commonly 5–35% depending on the HS category, plus 7.5% VAT and some smaller port levies. As an indicative 2026 guide, general electronics and goods often sit around 10–20% duty. The receiver pays these charges before release. Check your exact rate with the Nigeria Customs Service.
