Special goods · A dedicated plan
Ordinary routes refuse batteries, chemicals and certified goods, or misdeclare them and they get seized. We choose a legal route and declare goods truthfully.

Use a dedicated route for the nature of the goods and declare them truthfully, not mixed in as general cargo.
Batteries, portable power stations, chemicals and beauty products sell well in Africa, but they all involve dangerous goods or certification declarations, and many forwarders simply will not take them.
To get the goods moving, some routes declare battery-powered or chemical goods as general cargo. If an inspection finds them, the extra duties, fines and demurrage cost far more than declaring them properly from the start.
Cosmetics and food need NAFDAC; battery-powered products need UN38.3 and MSDS. Finding the documents are incomplete only once the goods are ready delays the whole shipping plan.
Lithium batteries, power banks, portable power stations and energy storage batteries are declared and booked truthfully under dangerous goods rules, with clearance and duties included in one price.
When we take the order we confirm the certification the destination requires, and help cosmetics and food get NAFDAC registration before loading.
We check UN38.3, MSDS and destination certification against the real goods description, and clear everything up before booking, so you do not discover missing documents after arrival.
Lithium batteries, power banks, portable power stations and energy storage batteries are booked under dangerous goods rules, with clearance and duties in one price.
For cosmetics, food and other goods that need destination certification, which must be completed before loading.
Duties are included for Nigeria only. Morocco prices exclude import duty and VAT.
Alhaji SaniLighting products distributor“Once they received the goods they checked the product documents first. Whatever needed to be added was listed clearly.”
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.”
Mr. MusaOffice supplies retailer“This was my first time buying from China. They listed what was included and what might be charged separately before we started — even the Lagos-to-Abuja leg was written into the quote.”
Yes, but they must be declared under the compliance rules for battery-powered goods, and you need to provide a UN38.3 test report and MSDS. We use these to choose the right route and quote. Declaring battery-powered products as general cargo costs far more when caught than declaring them properly, so we do not do it.
Yes. With an MSDS and NAFDAC or other destination certification, we can arrange shipment. If you do not have certification yet, we can help you get NAFDAC registration, which must be completed before loading.
