Nigeria customs — Form M & SONCAP, handled
Nigerian imports can require Form M (registered through a Nigerian bank) and, for regulated goods, a SONCAP certificate. As an HMRC Customs Authorised, EORI-registered forwarder we prepare the UK export paperwork and coordinate Form M, SONCAP and PAAR at the Nigerian end — so your cargo from Oxford clears cleanly and isn't held.
Door-to-door from Oxford to Nigeria
We collect in Oxford, consolidate at Dagenham, ship, and deliver to the recipient's door anywhere in Nigeria — not just to the port. Everything is quoted all-in in GBP, with no surprise charges billed to your family in Lagos, Abuja or wherever they are.
