How do I ship bags from China to Nigeria?
Bags go by sea in a shared or full container, door to door with clearance and duties included, or by air when urgent. Declare by outer material and style, and ship suitcases as nested sets.
- The outer material of the bag (leather, textile, plastic) decides the subheading.
- Nesting suitcases inside one another greatly reduces volume.
- For bags with brand markings, explain the brand situation.

Risk alert
Common risks
Where this cargo most often gets held up. We check each point before it ships.
- Item 01
Estimating by piece count
Bags are charged by volume, so estimating by piece count underestimates the freight. Give carton dimensions and number of cartons.
- Item 02
Damp leather goods
Leather bags go mouldy and discoloured when damp. Use damp-proof inner packing and desiccant.
- Item 03
Vague product names
Clothing falls under different HS codes depending on whether it is knitted or woven and on its material. A name like “one lot of clothing” will be sent back for clarification.
- Item 04
Shoes and bags crushed out of shape
Crushed shoe boxes and bags hurt sales. Load them on top or use rigid outer cartons.

Shipping bags to Nigeria: FAQ
How should suitcases be packed to save freight?
Nest three-piece or multi-size sets inside one another; volume can drop by more than half.
Can bags share a container with clothing?
Yes, as long as the product names are declared separately.
Can goods from Yiwu and Guangzhou share one container?
To share one container, deliver the goods to the same warehouse. If you ship from both cities, each lot can go into the nearer warehouse, Yiwu or Guangzhou, and ship separately.
