Shipping and Logistics to Nigeria

We offer two primary shipping methods for used car exports to Nigeria:

Container Shipping

Container shipping is recommended for valuable vehicles and smaller orders. A 40-foot high cube container can typically accommodate 3-4 sedans or 2-3 SUVs. Vehicles are secured inside the container for maximum protection during transit to Nigeria. Container shipping offers better security and reduces exposure to weather and saltwater.

RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) Shipping

RoRo shipping is the most cost-effective method for bulk orders and larger vehicles. Vehicles are driven onto specialized car carrier vessels and secured below deck. RoRo is ideal for shipping 5 or more vehicles to Nigeria and offers regular sailings from major Chinese ports including Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Guangzhou.

Transit Time to Nigeria

Typical transit time from Chinese ports to Nigeria is 30-40 days from China. This includes vessel transit time but does not include customs clearance at destination. We provide tracking information and regular updates throughout the shipping process.

Chinese Car Brands in Nigeria

Chinese automotive brands have been gaining significant market share in Nigeria in recent years. Brands such as BYD, Chery, Geely, Changan, Haval, and Jetour have established dealer networks and after-sales support in Nigeria, making their used vehicles attractive options for buyers.

Key advantages of Chinese-brand used vehicles in Nigeria include:

• Modern Features — Chinese vehicles typically offer more technology features at lower price points compared to Japanese or Korean equivalents.
• Growing Parts Network — As Chinese brands expand in Nigeria, spare parts availability and after-sales service improve continuously.
• Competitive Pricing — Used Chinese vehicles offer excellent value for money, appealing to price-sensitive buyers in Nigeria.
• EV Leadership — Chinese brands dominate the global EV market, and used Chinese EVs are increasingly popular in Nigeria.

We source both Chinese-brand and international-brand used vehicles from China for export to Nigeria, giving you access to the widest possible inventory at competitive prices.
