Vehicle Shipping Considerations
Nigeria applies vehicle age restrictions and specific import documentation requirements that are updated periodically by Nigerian customs authorities. Confirm current requirements for your vehicle's age and type before booking — Freightivo can point you to the latest guidance when you request a quote.
Machinery Shipping Considerations
Construction and agricultural machinery moving to Nigeria typically ships FCL, with equipment specifications (weight, dimensions) confirmed ahead of booking to determine standard versus flat-rack container needs.
Documentation
- Bill of lading
- Commercial invoice
- Certificate of origin
- Vehicle proof of ownership (for vehicle shipments)
- Form M and destination customs documentation (Nigeria-specific — confirm current requirements)
Customs Notes
Nigerian customs requirements, including vehicle age limits and duty rates, are subject to change. Freightivo can point shippers to current official guidance, but destination customs clearance is ultimately the receiving party's responsibility unless otherwise arranged.
