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, 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 customs duty and VAT. Air freight is faster and priced higher. Sea freight is more cost-effective for heavy or bulky cargo. Brazil generally has the highest volume of traffic, so rates to São Paulo and Rio are often the most competitive. 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 South America typically takes 4 to 9 business days door-to-door, depending on the destination city and customs processing. Brazil, Colombia and Peru usually arrive within the shorter end of that range due to more frequent connections from Lagos. Southern Cone destinations — Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay — tend to be at the longer end. Sea freight takes 25 to 45 days depending on the destination port. Express documents can arrive in 3 to 5 business days.

Yes. We prepare the Nigerian export documentation, clear your shipment through Nigerian customs, and coordinate with our partner customs brokers in the destination South American country for import clearance. Each country has its own customs regime — Brazil uses Siscomex, Argentina uses the María System, Chile uses Aduanas, Colombia uses DIAN and Peru uses SUNAT. We know the differences and prepare the correct documentation for each.

Import duty and VAT vary significantly by country. Brazil has some of the highest import taxes in the world — up to 60% of the declared value on personal shipments, plus ICMS state tax. Argentina charges around 50% on many imports plus 21% IVA. Chile has a simplified regime for small parcels and 19% IVA. Colombia charges 19% IVA plus tariff. Peru charges 18% IGV. We advise you upfront on the likely charges for your destination and can arrange for the recipient or the shipper to cover them.

Mercosur is the Southern Common Market — a customs union between Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay (Venezuela is currently suspended). Goods that originate within Mercosur move duty-free between member states. Since shipments from Nigeria don't originate in Mercosur, they don't benefit from intra-Mercosur preferential tariffs — standard import duty applies in each country. However, Mercosur has an external common tariff, meaning the duty rate applied to Nigerian goods is the same whether you ship to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay or Paraguay.

The Andean Community (CAN) is a customs union between Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Like Mercosur, its preferential tariffs only apply to goods originating within member states. Nigerian goods are subject to each country's external tariff. Peru and Colombia tend to be the most efficient for Nigerian imports, with clear customs procedures and moderate tariffs. Ecuador has stricter import controls.

Restrictions vary by country but common prohibitions include narcotics, firearms and ammunition, explosives, counterfeit goods, certain agricultural products, meat and dairy products, fresh produce, some medicines, endangered wildlife products, and hazardous materials. Brazil and Argentina have some of the strictest import controls in the region. Chile, Colombia and Peru are more moderate. Message us before shipping anything unusual and we will advise you.

Yes, with country-specific 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 South American countries. Brazil and Argentina have stricter rules on food imports, and some countries require specific health certificates. Fresh meat, dairy and fresh produce are restricted almost everywhere. 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 30 to 50 days to South America depending on the destination port. Import regulations vary significantly by country — Brazil requires an import license and has strict age limits on used vehicles, Chile allows used vehicle imports with restrictions, Peru has specific rules for used cars and Colombia requires registration with the DIAN. Contact us for a vehicle shipping quote and guidance for your specific destination.

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. Brazil is by far Nigeria's largest trading partner in South America, followed by Colombia, Chile and Peru. We work with importers, distributors and e-commerce sellers who ship regularly to South America. 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 South American destinations. For valuable items, declare the correct value when booking so you are fully covered against loss or damage in transit.

Yes.
