From Shenzhen or Guangzhou to Lagos, it usually takes 7 to 12 days from our pickup to signed delivery, clearance and delivery included. When goods are high-value, the batch is small (usually under 500 kg) or the restocking window is tight, air freight often costs less overall than running out of stock while waiting for a sea shipment. Products with batteries need UN38.3 and MSDS documents before they can be booked.

Products with batteries, liquids, powders or cosmetics need checking first: can they go by air, and which safety documents are required? General cargo is quoted straight away.
Charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater, with a door-to-door total and estimated flight time. Prices move in peak season and when space is tight.
Goods pass security screening at the warehouse, then export clearance and the air waybill are completed. Battery products must come with complete safety documents.
You get the air waybill number and updates on departure and transit.
After landing, our destination team clears the goods and pays duty and VAT, collecting within the airport's free storage period to avoid storage fees.
After collection, local delivery to the receiver's address, with proof of delivery sent back.
ChiomaJumia / TikTok Shop seller“Four accessories were almost sold out, but not the whole order was urgent. They split the urgent items out to go by air and sent the rest by sea.”
Yes, but you must provide a UN38.3 test report and MSDS, and pack and label them under lithium battery rules; some flights limit how much they carry. Standalone batteries and large battery packs are more restricted, and each shipment must be checked with the airline. We don't accept battery goods with incomplete documents.
Air freight usually costs several times more per unit than sea freight, but the multiple varies widely with space, fuel surcharges and cargo density, so there is no fixed ratio. We work out the actual difference from your weight and volume and give you both a sea and an air option to compare.
Yes. Our air service also includes destination clearance, duty and VAT, and local delivery, quoted the same way as sea freight: one all-in price, no other charges.
