Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to ship a car from the UK to Nigeria?

Vessels sail from Tilbury on a regular rotation; door-to-port transit is typically 21–28 days. Add 5–10 working days each end for UK collection and destination clearance.

Is RORO available to Nigeria?

Yes — RORO is the most cost-effective option for standard vehicles. We use Höegh Autoliners, Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Grimaldi for the Nigeria rotation.

What duties will I pay in Nigeria?

20% duty, 15% NAC, 7.5% VAT, 2% ETLS — total around 45–50% of CIF. Duties are paid by the importer at the destination port.

Is insurance included?

All quotes include UK port handling and the Bill of Lading. Marine transit insurance at 1.5–2% of vehicle value is offered separately on every quote.
