How do I ship plastic products from China to Nigeria?
Plastic products go by sea in a full 40 ft high-cube, door to door with clearance and duties included, charged by volume. Nest whatever can be nested.
- Nesting plastic chairs and buckets can double the load.
- Declare by use and material; the use decides the subheading.
- Small volumes go in a shared container, charged by volume.

Risk alert
Common risks
Where this cargo most often gets held up. We check each point before it ships.
- Item 01
Quoting by weight
Plastic products are light and bulky. Estimating by weight seriously underestimates the freight.
- Item 02
Heat deformation
It gets hot inside the container, and thin-walled plastic products stacked too high deform.
- 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
Materials lumped together
“Plastic products” covers dozens of HS codes. Write material and use separately.

Shipping plastic products to Nigeria: FAQ
How many plastic chairs fit in a 40 ft high-cube?
It depends on the chair design and how many nest together. Send us the specifications and we’ll give you a loading plan.
Do plastic products need SONCAP?
It depends on the HS code. We check before booking and can handle it for you if needed.
Can plastic products go in a shared container?
Yes, from 1 cubic metre. For larger volumes a full 40 ft high-cube is better value.
