How do I ship auto parts from China to Nigeria?
Auto parts go in a shared or full container, door to door with clearance and duties included. Suppliers deliver to whichever warehouse is nearest for consolidation, and parts are declared line by line by category.
- List each category of part separately; don't write “a batch of auto parts”.
- Unbranded parts are declared as generic parts.
- Parts containing fluid (such as shock absorbers) must be stated.

Risk alert
Common risks
Where this cargo most often gets held up. We check each point before it ships.
- Item 01
Vague product names
“A batch of auto parts” cannot be classified. At inspection you'll be asked to add details line by line, delaying release.
- Item 02
Heavy parts crush light ones
Brake discs and other heavy parts mixed with lamps and fragile parts without layering will crush the lighter items.
- Item 03
A vague “auto parts” description
The more detailed the list, the faster the clearance. Only parts listed one by one can be matched to the right HS code.
- Item 04
Parts containing liquid not declared
Shock absorbers, brake fluid, engine oil and other parts containing liquid must be declared truthfully, or they are treated as misdeclared.
