Import & Shipping Guides for Nigeria

Nigeria: SONCAP, Form M, then Lagos

Step one: SONCAP

A regulated vehicle heading to Nigeria needs a SONCAP certificate. It is arranged through the exporter and verified on arrival, and it gates the clearance — without it the container sits.

Step two: Form M and PAAR

The buyer opens a Form M with the bank and, at the port, presents a PAAR. Because these sit on the Nigerian side, we prepare the Chinese export set (commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin) to match the numbers your Form M carries.

Step three: duty, then Apapa or Tin Can

On arrival, 35% duty plus levies and 7.5% VAT are assessed on the CIF value. Lagos (Apapa / Tin Can Island) is the usual port; clearance is done by a licensed agent.

Match the Form M numbers

The Nigerian buyer opens the Form M through the bank and presents a PAAR at the port. We build the Chinese export documents to echo those reference numbers exactly, so clearance is not held up by a mismatch.
