- You are shipping urgent products
- You need door-to-door delivery
Sea freight may be better when:
- You are importing large quantities
- Your cargo is bulky or heavy
- Delivery speed is less important
- You want to reduce the transportation cost per unit
For example, express air freight from China is currently priced at $30 per kg, with an estimated transit time of 2–5 business days, while sea freight is priced according to cargo volume.
Shipping Cost from China to Nigeria: What You Should Know
When searching for the cost of shipping from China to Nigeria, don’t consider only the basic freight rate.
Your total import cost may include:
- Freight charges
- Customs clearance
- Handling charges
- Delivery charges
- Insurance
- Duties and taxes where applicable
- Warehouse or port-related charges
- Other applicable logistics fees
For this reason, the advertised freight rate should be considered the starting point rather than necessarily the final landed cost.
