Your Nigeria Move, Planned Around the Rules
Nigeria’s import rules make early planning important, particularly around eligibility and restricted items. We have managed overseas relocations since 1948. As your overseas moving company, we coordinate export packing, documentation, sea or air transport, Nigerian clearance and delivery under one plan.
The shipment may be a modest apartment move or a complete household, but the coordination remains consistent. One contact follows furniture, appliances, antiques, artwork and personal effects from the US through destination delivery. As international movers in the USA, we shape our international relocation services around your Nigerian destination, shipment profile and timing.
One coordinated move
Packing, freight, Nigeria Customs clearance and final delivery.
- Since 1948 Managing relocations abroad
- Nationwide collection Right across the USA
- One plan From packing to clearance
Everything your move needs
Our Nigeria Moving Services
Your Nigeria move is managed as one connected workflow rather than a series of disconnected handoffs. As international movers and packers, we coordinate the services below around your inventory and clearance needs.
Vehicle Shipping
Cars are treated separately from household effects. Our international car shipping services manage the vehicle-specific paperwork and transport process where import is appropriate.
Corporate Relocation
We coordinate employee household moves into Lagos, Abuja and other commercial centers against company start dates through our door-to-door international relocation services.
Storage
Secure storage at origin or destination can bridge timing gaps while accommodation, documentation or delivery arrangements are finalized.
Packing
Our packing services for overseas moves include complete household preparation or targeted fragile-item protection for the long international journey.
Crating
Made-to-measure cases protect delicate and high-value items, while international piano movers support bulky instruments and difficult lifts.
From home to destination
How Your Move to Nigeria Works
Nigeria moves benefit from a defined sequence because eligibility checks, packing and customs paperwork need to be coordinated before arrival. We organize the move through six stages.
-
Open the Move File
Tell us where collection will take place in the US, where delivery is needed in Nigeria and the approximate size of the load.
-
Size the Shipment
A video survey or home visit records the contents, highlights valuables and identifies pieces that need special packing.
-
Confirm the Service
We agree on protection, scope and the target timeline for both countries.
-
Pack at Origin
The moving crew protects, labels and loads the household goods for international transport.
-
Move and Clear
The goods travel by sea or air while the required Nigerian customs documents are prepared for entry.
-
Complete the Move
We deliver to your Nigerian address and unpack according to the level of service selected.
Flexible shipping choices
Choose the Right Shipping Method
Shipment volume, urgency and budget determine the right transport method. We compare the options and recommend the route that best matches your priorities.
Best value for a whole house
Ocean Freight
A dedicated full-container-load (FCL) is often appropriate for a larger household when economical transport is the priority.
Smaller moves
Shared Container
A part-load can move under less-than-container-load international shipping, using consolidated container space instead of paying for a dedicated box.
Fastest option
Air Freight
Suitable for a smaller urgent consignment or belongings you want available shortly after arrival.
Prepare with confidence
Your Nigeria Shipping Checklist
Preparing the inventory, eligibility information and shipment paperwork in advance helps keep packing, customs and delivery on schedule. Review these points before move day.
-
Document the shipment
Build a clear inventory and identify valuable items so the insurance and customs records are easier to complete.
-
Read the Nigerian rules
Nigeria Customs keeps a strict prohibition list and firm eligibility rules; begin with the Nigeria Customs Service and check the import prohibition list before you ship.
-
Check your eligibility
Returning nationals usually need a long enough stay abroad; foreign nationals need a valid work or residence permit; used items generally qualify while brand-new furniture does not.
-
Select appropriate protection
Choose coverage that reflects the replacement value and nature of the goods.
-
Book capacity early
Busy moving periods can reduce preferred sailing and packing dates.
Plan your inventory
What Counts as Household Goods?
Household goods are the furniture, appliances and personal possessions used to equip a residence. As an international shipping company focused on relocations, we move cookware, clothing, books, decor, antiques, artwork and everyday personal effects in addition to larger furnishings. Commercial cargo is outside this service, so the load remains a household shipment.
Common household shipments include
Before the boxes are sealed
Only used effects generally qualify.
- Brand-new furniture, vehicles and commercial quantities do not qualify.
- Firearms and drugs are barred outright.
- Check the import prohibition list, and we help you meet the conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does shipping to Nigeria cost?
Pricing depends on shipment volume, US origin, Nigerian destination and whether you choose ocean or air freight. We calculate the actual route and service scope rather than relying on a generic figure. Request a free international moving quote for a tailored estimate.
How soon will my goods reach Nigeria?
Timing varies with origin, destination and transport mode. Air freight is usually faster, while ocean shipping requires a longer transit and clearance window. We provide a realistic schedule when the shipment is booked.
Who qualifies to bring household goods into Nigeria duty-free?
Typically, returning nationals with a long enough stay abroad and foreign nationals holding a valid work or residence permit, for used effects. We shape the inventory and documents to your status.
What cannot ship to Nigeria?
Brand-new furniture, vehicles in a household load and commercial quantities are barred from duty-free entry, and firearms and drugs are prohibited outright. We check your load against the current list.
Can you move a car to Nigeria?
Vehicle imports into Nigeria are tightly controlled and move on a separate track. Our international car shipping services run that process and confirm the requirements first.
Which US cities do you collect from?
We coordinate collection across the US. As international movers in the USA, we arrange pickups from Houston, Atlanta, New York, Washington, DC, Los Angeles and other locations before routing goods to Nigeria.
Is there a free quote?
Yes. Share the origin, Nigerian destination and estimated volume. We will prepare an international moving quote that sets out the recommended freight method and clearance approach.
