What You Can Send and How to Pack

What you can send

Clothing and shoes, electronics and phones, household goods and appliances, packaged and non-perishable food, cosmetics, baby items, books and documents. Some categories need NAFDAC or SON clearance, which we advise on before you ship so nothing is held at the border.

How to pack

Use strong double-walled boxes, fill empty space, and pack densely, which matters most for sea freight. Vacuum-pack clothing to save volume, and label each box with a contents list to speed up customs. Prohibited items cannot be shipped, so ask us if you are unsure.
