China–Nigeria is one of the highest-volume import corridors into West Africa, spanning electronics, machinery, textiles and consumer goods. It is also where trust and landed-cost surprises hit importers hardest.
The opportunity and the risk
Chinese suppliers offer breadth and price, but Nigerian importers frequently face minimum-order barriers, unverified sellers, and costs that only appear after shipment. Getting verification and landed cost right up front is decisive.
What to watch
- Supplier verification and sample/quality checks
- True landed cost including duty and clearing
- Documentation and HS classification accuracy
- Safe, staged payment rather than full pre-payment
