How do I ship plastic film from China to Nigeria?
Film goes by sea in a full container, door to door with clearance and duties included. Rolls are palletised and declared by material (PE, PP, PET, etc.) and thickness.
- Declare by material and thickness; the material decides the subheading.
- The direction of the roll core and the palletising method decide how much fits.
- State if the film is printed.

Rolls stacked too high or laid flat without securing get flattened and become unusable.
- Item 02
Material not stated
“Plastic film” alone can’t be classified. Declare by material and thickness.
- Item 03
Plastic items not nested
Plastic buckets and basins packed without nesting fill only a fraction of what the same container could hold. Confirm nested packing before they leave the factory.
- Item 04
Film rolls rolling around
Unsecured rolls move at sea and crush other goods in the container.
