Customs
The receiver in Nigeria will need to be registered with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and have a Tax Identification Number (TIN). No customs clearance can take place without this TIN number and failure to obtain the TIN number before the arrival of the consignment will result in delays and potential additional costs.
Passports, credit cards, jewellery, cosmetics, toiletries, etc are prohibited for import into Nigeria.
Before sending your parcel to Nigeria, please make sure that none of the items in your parcels contravene the restrictions imposed by customs at destination.
Customs website: https://www.customs.gov.ng/
Documents Needed
After you have paid for a shipping service to Nigeria, you will be redirected
to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Air Waybills - barcode) - Proforma or Commercial invoice - Address label.
The above documents are standard for any international shipment.
Please note, if additional documentation is required for the import of any particular item, it is the
customer's responsibility to provide them at destination.
Restrictions
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on
luggage.
A shipment to Nigeria is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as
hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air
Transport Association), ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) or other relevant organisation.
Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently
forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

appropriate level of cover for your shipment. We offer enhanced parcel protection for up to £2000

parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected

At RapidParcel.com we go out of our way to make the comparison of leading couriers, their selection and the booking process as quick and easy as possible.
Nigeria is a land of extremes. Its population is the largest on the African continent, but there are still areas of sparsely populated wilderness to be found. While being one of the wealthiest countries in West Africa due to an abundance of natural resources, many live on very meagre incomes. And its thriving cities are an extreme contrast to the country’s beautiful natural landscapes and abundant wildlife. Whether you’re sending your Nigeria delivery to friends on safari, family on holiday, parents who live there, colleagues, clients or suppliers, RapidParcel.com is the courier resource you need.
Your delivery to Nigeria is in safe hands when you book through RapidParcel.com because the couriers we work with are established household names boasting, between them, many decades of experience shipping parcels of every kind to all four corners of the globe.
