Duties and import VAT
Nigeria applies import duty plus 7.5% VAT and levies on IT hardware, and shipments require a SONCAP certificate and Form M. We sell EXW Dalian; if you don't import from China yourself, we help you arrange a freight forwarder who delivers DAP/DDP and manages the duties, taxes, SONCAP and clearance process.
No import experience needed: we sell EXW and help you find a freight forwarder who handles air freight, customs, duties and door delivery (DAP/DDP).

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping servers from China to Nigeria take?
All our servers ship by air, landing at Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos (MMA / LOS). The freight forwarder we help you arrange handles customs clearance and delivers to your door in 1–2 weeks. SONCAP and Form M must be in place before the goods leave China.
Who handles customs and import duties?
We sell EXW Dalian, so we don't clear your customs ourselves. If you're new to importing, we help you find a freight forwarder who delivers DAP/DDP. They prepay Nigerian import duty, 7.5% VAT and levies and handle the SONCAP certificate and Form M so cargo clears smoothly, and you receive the servers at your door.
How do warranty returns work in Nigeria?
Every server carries a 1-year warranty. If a component fails, we use advance replacement: the replacement part ships from Dalian before we receive the faulty one, and RMA processing is completed within 24 hours. Transit time for the replacement matches the air-freight window above.

Request for quotation in Nigeria
Lagos is West Africa's connectivity gateway: MainOne and Rack Centre sit here, and most of the region's subsea cables land here. Two documents gate every shipment. SON's SONCAP conformity certificate must be issued before goods leave China, and a Form M is opened with your bank before the cargo moves. Miss either and the shipment stays in customs.
We will send you a commercial offer with specifications and price, including delivery to Lagos.
