Message us with the exact destination and we'll confirm timing.

Simply message us on WhatsApp at 0813 094 7747 with your pickup address in Benin City, the destination country and city, and your item description and approximate weight. We'll recommend air or sea freight and reply with a price. Our rider collects from your door, and we handle all documentation, EU customs clearance and delivery to your recipient.

Every shipment is quoted individually because the rate depends on the weight and dimensions of your item, the chosen mode (air or sea), your pickup location in Benin City, the destination country and city, and any applicable EU import VAT or duties. Air freight is faster and priced higher. Sea freight is more cost-effective for heavy or bulky cargo. Message us on WhatsApp with your item details and destination and we'll send you an exact, no-obligation price within minutes.

Air freight from Benin City to Europe typically takes 3 to 7 business days door-to-door, depending on the destination city and customs processing. Sea freight takes 20 to 45 days depending on the destination port — Northern European ports (Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp) are slightly faster than Mediterranean or Baltic ports. Express documents can arrive in 2 to 4 business days.

Yes. We prepare the Nigerian export documentation, clear your shipment through Nigerian customs, and coordinate with EU customs brokers for import clearance. EU-bound shipments clear customs at the first EU point of entry — typically Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Paris CDG, Frankfurt, Madrid or Warsaw — and then move freely within the EU single market. Required documents typically include a commercial invoice, packing list, and depending on the item, a certificate of origin or specific food/health certificates. We guide you through exactly what is needed.

An EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is a unique identifier required for customs procedures in the EU and UK. If you're importing commercially into the EU, your recipient or their customs broker needs a valid EORI number. For personal gifts and small parcels, an EORI may not be required — the courier or postal operator handles the clearance. We advise you upfront on whether an EORI is needed for your shipment and can assist with the application process.

EU import VAT and customs duty depend on the destination country, the value of your goods and whether they qualify for preferential treatment. EU VAT rates range from 17% (Luxembourg) to 27% (Hungary), with most countries between 19% and 24%. Customs duty applies under the EU TARIC schedule. Parcels under €150 are generally exempt from customs duty for individuals, though VAT may still apply. Some countries have higher de minimis thresholds. We advise you upfront on likely charges and can arrange for the recipient or the shipper to cover them.

Yes. We deliver to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Since Brexit, the UK operates its own customs regime separate from the EU. We handle UK HMRC declarations, provide advice on UK import VAT (currently 20%) and duty under the UK Global Tariff, and coordinate clearance at UK ports (Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool, Tilbury) and airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester). Northern Ireland operates under the Windsor Framework with a different customs arrangement — we handle that too.

Yes. Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are in the EEA/EFTA (Iceland and Norway are EEA, Switzerland is EFTA but not EEA). They are inside the European single market for goods but outside the EU customs union — meaning customs clearance is required and VAT/GST is charged separately. Switzerland charges 8.1% VAT, Norway 25%, Iceland 24%. We handle the customs declarations and coordinate clearance in each country.

No. Due to international sanctions imposed following the invasion of Ukraine, we do not currently ship to Russia or Belarus. Most international couriers and freight forwarders have suspended services to both countries. We also cannot process shipments containing sanctioned goods. If you need to reach clients in Russia or Belarus, we can discuss alternative arrangements through neutral third countries on a case-by-case basis — contact us for details.

EU and European customs prohibit or restrict narcotics, firearms and ammunition, explosives, counterfeit goods, certain agricultural products, meat and dairy products, fresh produce, some medicines, endangered wildlife products (CITES), and hazardous materials. Some items like food, cosmetics, electronics and supplements require specific declarations or conformity certifications (CE marking for electronics, EU health certificates for food). Message us before shipping anything unusual and we will advise you.

Yes, with limitations. Packaged, shelf-stable foods such as dried pepper, egusi, ogbono, garri, smoked fish, packaged snacks and non-perishable Nigerian groceries are typically allowed in most EU countries. Fresh meat, dairy and most fresh produce are heavily restricted under EU import rules and usually not permitted. Some countries — notably Germany, Netherlands, Italy and France — have stricter food import rules. We'll advise on packaging and declaration requirements for your destination.

Yes. Vehicles are shipped via roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) or in a container by sea freight. Transit time is typically 25 to 45 days to Europe. EU import regulations require specific documentation including the vehicle title, bill of lading, and compliance with EU type approval or national registration rules (TÜV for Germany, ITV for Spain, RDW for Netherlands, MOT for UK, etc.). Import duty is typically 10% of the vehicle's value plus VAT. Contact us for a vehicle shipping quote and guidance.

Yes. We handle commercial shipments of any size — air freight for time-sensitive stock, less than container loads (LCL) and full container loads (FCL) by sea freight for bulk cargo. We work with importers, distributors and e-commerce sellers who ship regularly from Nigeria to Europe. Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, Antwerp-Bruges is the second largest, and Hamburg is the third — all three are on our routing network. Ask about our business account rates.

Yes. Every shipment is handled with care, and we offer cargo insurance on request. Coverage is comprehensive across all European destinations. For valuable items, declare the correct value when booking so you are fully covered against loss or damage in transit.

Yes. Every shipment on this route is assigned a tracking reference and you receive status updates by WhatsApp or phone from pickup, through Nigerian customs, during transit, at the EU point of entry, after customs clearance, and until final delivery. Send your tracking ID to 0813 094 7747 on WhatsApp for a real-time update.

Yes. If you ship regularly from Nigeria to one or more European countries — for e-commerce, distribution, corporate supply or retail — we offer business account rates, scheduled pickups and monthly invoicing. Ask us about the business account when you message.

We accept bank transfers, cash on pickup and online payments. Corporate clients can request invoicing and monthly account billing.

Our Benin City office is open Monday to Sunday, 8:00am to 8:00pm. WhatsApp and phone support is available 24/7 for urgent shipments and enquiries.
