Shipping wigs to Nigeria

Wigs are light, high in value and change style quickly. Transit time often matters more than freight cost.

Short answer

Updated: August 2026

Should wigs to Nigeria go by air or by sea?

Restocks and new styles go by air, 7 - 12 days to the door. Steady bulk orders go by sea in a shared container, 45 - 60 days to the door, at lower cost.

  • Wigs are light and small, and air freight is charged on actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is greater.
  • Human hair and synthetic hair are classified differently, so state the material in the product name.
  • Declare the true value. Cargo insurance covers the declared value.
  • Small lots are fine too: air from 21 kg as standard, shared container by sea from 1 cubic metre.

Risk alert

Common risks

Where this cargo most often gets held up. We check each point before it ships.

  1. Item 01

    Material declared incorrectly

    Human hair and synthetic hair carry different duty rates. If the declaration doesn’t match the goods, you pay the back duty plus a fine.

  2. Item 02

    Under-declared value

    Under-declaring looks like a tax saving, but inspection brings back duty and a fine, and if anything goes wrong the insurance only pays the declared value.

  3. Item 03

    Packing crushes the styling

    Styled products are hard to restore once crushed. The outer cartons need to be strong enough.
