Car export to Lagos, Nigeria

Lagos is the deepest used-car market in West Africa and absorbs volume that would sit unsold elsewhere. Buyers are professional traders who work on tight margins and know the landed cost line by line.

Port and clearance

Apapa and Tin Can Island both handle RoRo. The 12-year cap is checked on arrival and SONCAP certification has to exist before loading, so the compliance work happens in China rather than at the port.

Inland reach

Onward distribution covers all of southern Nigeria and moves north to Abuja and Kano by road.

How a Lagos consignment runs

  1. 01

    Brief and quote

    Send the model, model year, budget and the destination — Lagos. You get an FOB price and a CIF price to 拉各斯 Apapa / Tin Can Island 滚装码头, so you can see the freight line separately.

  2. 02

    Sourcing and inspection

    We locate the unit and send a walkaround video and photos: exterior, interior, engine bay, odometer and underbody. If it does not match the brief, it does not get bought.

  3. 03

    Documents

    Invoice, packing list, bill of lading and the conformity or certification document Nigeria requires are prepared in China before the ship sails.

  4. 04

    Loading

    RoRo for single units, or a 40ft container for two to four cars. Loading is supervised and photographed, and the container is sealed in front of the camera.

  5. 05

    Arrival and clearance

    Documents reach you ahead of the vessel, so your agent in Lagos can start clearance the day it berths rather than the week after.

Lagos import questions

How do cars from China reach Lagos?
Apapa and Tin Can Island both handle RoRo. The 12-year cap is checked on arrival and SONCAP certification has to exist before loading, so the compliance work happens in China rather than at the port. Onward distribution covers all of southern Nigeria and moves north to Abuja and Kano by road.
What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Nigeria?
12 years. Nigerian Customs works to a hard 12-year cap; some agents still quote a 10-year reading, so the year is confirmed before money moves.
Do you deliver to Lagos or only to the port?
Both are quoted. Most buyers in Lagos take delivery at the port and clear with their own agent, because they already have a broker and it keeps the cost visible. We also quote delivered-to-Lagos where the buyer would rather have one number and one counterparty for the whole movement.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
