Shipping for business: Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi
Many of our South-East customers are traders. A few things make commercial shipments run smoothly:
- Declare goods accurately on a commercial invoice with quantities and values.
- Check regulated goods. Food, cosmetics and medicines may need NAFDAC registration; many manufactured goods need SON approval.
- Consolidate. Regular smaller shipments can cost less than one rushed large one.
