kenraj: @Lizu....

I asked earlier what the requirements are for UPS to send my stuff to Russia if it's gonna be 100kg upwards and I don't mind if it's gonna be splited. And things I send range from cosmetics, hair extensions, foodstuff like ogbono,plantain,yam,egusi,garri,palm oil etc, beverages and the likes. I'll really appreciate to know how I can go about it!

Thanks in antticipation!

infact people that lives in lagos come as far as enugu to get and abuja to get their stuffs at times and still come back to lagos to transport it, am very sure if its something that was easy for them to do they wont venture to come back to lagos for the remaining transaction to be completed...but if something comes up o that later i will gladly put it up..thanks

are you still following so maybe you can find tips that wll answer your questions....thanks

Tweetie: Hi Lizu, I am interested in exporting palm kernel shells to European countries. I heard its lucrative. Kindly give the step by step procedure of how to go about it. Thanks

my brother..the certification agencies i know and trust are the already mentioned ones, and if you source for any product outside lagos, i see no reason why you should go through such rigirous stress of just certifying lagos and taking it back to your state for air freighting, you know that will cost you alot..i dont know if have been able to answer your questions sir

9free: @OP,
Are these certification agencies available in every state of the federation or just in Lagos alone?
Secondly, can I export from any of the five international airports in Nigeria?
What happens if I can easily source ''exportable'' products but live in a state that has no local airport/int'l airport?
Lastly, can you clarify this offer letter thing?

Following bumper to bumper!

Good work ops..Following big time

@lizu, I feel this business idea and welcome your contributions so far, my main issue here is how one can get the foreign contacts who need products which I'm able to package and export. I don't have anyone abroad who cud help me find customers and my sister who's a banker says that its next to impossible to get those contacts from the bank these days.
So what other ways or means can one use to get customers....the walking around is no issue here.

Gud mornn house!I tink we're getting somewhere.Sombdy sometime mentioned using DHL, NIPOST & airlines 2 send ur guds.I want 2 know whc is safer & less costly depending on d quantity u're sending?
Secondly,i'm considering registering with AMEN.Will dis help in solving some of these problems or i shld 4get registering with dem 4 now?Tanx!

@chidozy15.. asides using your bank account officer, you can visit the chamber of commerce and industry, registered forwarding agents, commercial desk of any embassy, shipping companies...its all about making your smart and get information from anyone there...but dont forget that we are still in naija...scratch my back i scratch your back...nothing goes for nothing, you dont have to make this official when doing it. i beleive we are all working with matured minds here...thanks

@kamkamdd...have been using the airway freight for sometime now and i feel much safer using them because of time of delivery considering the fact that we are exporting food items that might be affected with time if it stays too long somewhere...though airways are quit expensive but if your calculation is done correctly, you must have gotten your profit even before sending your stuffs out. Thanks

Hi all,
Following. Does anyone in the house have a link to local/international buyers of the following items-cassava flour (fufu) packaged in 2kg, 5kg & 10kg bags? Same with garri. Ȋ̝̊̅̄ can also source palm oil in varied containers as well palm kernel shells and lead (Pb) for export. Please drop ♍ε̲̣̣̣̥ a mail @ pjmexpert@gmail.com. Thanks

@Lizu: can you give me rough estimate of transporting my garri via airline? you can inbox me: nectar.edibles@gmail.com

Thanks.

Lizu,plz can u put up ur number or jst page(flash) me & amma cal bac asaply on 08161341235

Considering the cheapest means of conveying your exports, nipost is the cheapest. EMS services also works faster than Nipost but cargo (via-airlines) is the costliest and the most expensive (though the fastest-bare 48-72 hour depending on destination). The hiccups in all means depends on the recipient's country,as in the maximum weight which can be received @ a go and also their charges also. But I feel they are cheap compared to some countries like Russia which is quiet strenuous and expensive. Just be positive on your business and you sure will smile you gave it a trial.

bro i can see u ve been doing a good job but when will this ur write up on exportation business be release

Goog info bro...tnx

Pls House get this straight....

Types of Export Business

There are two types of Export business namely;
Direct Export Business and Indirect Export Business..

1.DIRECT EXPORT BUSINESS: This is a type of export business that is done between two companies from different countries i.e a company in nigeria and a company oversea. This can be done on a small scale or large scale. A pre inspection is done in this type of export business and NXP is also compulsory here.

2.INDIRECT EXPORT BUSINESS: This type of export business is done between individual in nigeria and individual oversea, this can be done in small scale and can also be done in a large scale, pre inspection is not needed in this type and NXP form is not also needed, the two important documents needed here are just the 1.certification 2. airway bill if by airline or bill of laden if by sea.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR EXPORTING FOOD ITEMS IN A DIRECT SCALE EXPORT(COMPANY TO COMPANY)

1. Copy of certification result being issued by relevant government approved certification agency.

2. A copy of euro customs document ( this is issued in the bank)

3. A copy of proformal invoice as in the case of letter of credit type of payment.

4. A copy of pre inspection result being issued by the buyer's nominated pre inspection agent.

NB..Pre Inspectors;They monitor and inspects the goods belonging to the buyer on his or her behalf.

5. A copy of airway bill if using airline as a means of transportation

6. A copy of bill of laden if transporting by sea.

7. A copy of NXP form obtained from the bank.

8. A copy of export liscense.(if available)

9. A copy of letter of credit.


PROCEDURES FOR EXPORTING FOOD ITEMS FOR DIRECT SMALL SCALE

1. Select a product or identify the product and get buyer for it

2. Send an offer letter to the buyer and state what you can offer conveniently in term of quantity, duration of time before you can deliver e.t.c

3. Negotiate and agree on specification.

4. Negotiate and agree on price per kg.

5. Send a proformal invoice to the buyer according to the details agreed upon with the buyer in terms of price per unit, product specification, packaging and packaging methodology, duration of time to be delivered e.t.c

6. Take the proformal invoice to you account officer in your bank to help you put your bank details on it..it is compulsory the bank does this for you.
NB.. Always negotiate for an IRREVOCABLE letter of credit during the transaction because with this, the deal can never be cancelled because of anything( so with this you are getting your money)...its a form of security.

7. Scan mail the proformal invoice to your buyer for him or her to take it to his or her bank for the preparation of the IRREVOCABLE letter of credit that will be sent to you.

8. Collect the NXP form from the bank, fill it accurately with accurate informations and submit to the bank for future incentives from the nigerian government( these are things nigerians dont know that exists and they exist, but if you dont know that it happens, the people in charge will never tell you and they will always sit on it)...be wise.

9. Go to the bank and pick up the letter of credit opened for you by the buyer's bank.( with this, you are in a safe hands..as soon as your products gets to the buyer your bank is going to pull your money out for you through the letter of credit opened by his or her own bank).

10.Now go to the market for procurement according to the agreed specification

11. Package the product according to the agreed specification.

12. Take the products for certification

13. Take the product for pre inspection in the buyer's nominated pre inspection company and collect the pre inspection result

14. Collect the pre inspection and if it corresponds with the agreed specification, take it to your account officer.
NB...from here if the specification is met, your job ends here then the buyer takes up charge from there and sends his or her agent to pick up the products from the pre inspection company and sends to the buyer.

15. when payment is confirmed, go to any airline of your choice and make payment for the exact number of kg and collect your airway bill.

16. call any liscensed forwarding agent of your choice, hand over to him or her a copy of the pre inspection result and the airway bill to enable him or her to go to the pre inspection company and carry the goods to the airline for air freighting.

17. Inform the buyer of the name of the airline that is bringing the goods to him or her or probably scan mail all the documents to the buyer.

Hello Mr lizu. I must comened the good work you are doing. I've been a quiet follower of this. I would want to know if you can recommend any forwarding agent

Kudos bro!Gud wk u're doing.I've some questns based on d info u gave.
1.Wat's NXP?
2.In no.14 u said after taking d necessary steps,d exporter has placed his part and d importer sends his agent 2 pick d goods.Again in no.16,d exporter is again involved,pls clearify.Tanx!

My brother, tnx for the comendation, but as for recomendation of forwarding agent, I won't be able to do that n I belive u understnd why that can't be done, I will advice everyone to make a move on issues like that, so we can make a proper bergain personally n probably learn one or two things about them. Tnx

Hello Mr lizu. I must comened the good work you are doing. I've been a quiet follower of this. I would want to know if you can recommend any forwarding agent

Nxp if refered to nigeria export proceed form, its obtain frm d bank, its part of the documentation required in some kind of export business.. As for d other question, tnx for taking note of that its d correct thing I wrote but think I need to just be a bit explicit on that.. Normally d work of d exporter ends at no 14 but in case of airway freight or an agreement wt the buyer to help do that which attracts extra cost no 16 applies, so I believe u shld be clear on this.

Hello Lizu, I started following the thread from the start. Please in my own case I want to be sending it down to relatives who will now do the supply to African shops and other end users in their country of residence. will I need all the listed process with the bank as money or mode of payment won't be an issue. In my position let me guess what I need to do based on information I got from here are as follows:

1) Source the product at a good price (That I can do)

2) Move the product down to Lagos (I can do that)

3) Take it to NAFDAC office in Yaba for approval and certification. (I can do that)

4)Register with NEPC (am clueless if I must do that, being that I will be operating in a small scale and may not have all the money to register with them if it is too expensive?)

5) Move the product to NAHCO/SAHCOL (I can do that as well, do I need to package the product before or at NAHCO?)

6)Packaging the product, (am clueless on this, will I be able to see people packaging product at NAHCO so as to learn from them)

7) Can I negotiate the price and pay directly to the airlines or must I use the freight forwarding agents?

How will my relatives receive the product (at the airport or at the forwarding agents' recipient in the delivery destination?)
