I am a United States based Nigerian that would like to import industrial goods to bulk buyers in Nigeria. How do I go about this business and do I have to be connected to industries that will need my service in other to gain a market share? Intended products are chemicals for Pharmaceutical and Petroleum industrial needs. I don't want to face thw hassle of dealing with individuals, since I wouldn't be fully based in Naija. Any suggestions on the best practice will be awesome. I wouldn't mind acquiring licensing for distribution in companies that manufacturer consumer goods also. I have a disposable income of 60k dollars for a start and would invest more if there is a future for this biz. I will not respond to a private email request, every feedback should be posted in public. Lets work hard in given our country a good name by providing transparent
response.

I'm interested in this as well. Any answers from anybody? Bump!
Op, do you have any specific products/chemicals in mind?
I could help you make some enquiries.

Chemicals for manufacturing Pharma drugs, Soap and Petroleum refining. I am based in the states and where are you based? I would like to know what is in demand in naija since I am not based out there

^^ I'm based in Lagos.
I could help you make some enquiries about what chemicals they commonly import and use in the pharmaceutical and soap industries for starters.
Since you're in US, can you guarantee the quality of the chemicals you'll source from there?
Although, i have a feeling (quite unproven) that chemicals imported from USA might be more expensive that ones sourced from other countries, like Germany and India.

I heard United States has corporate advantage over those countries you mentioned. What about caustic soda, is it cheaper to source it from china that United States? I would like to read from those that are familiar with this area of trade. In regards quality, united states has a standard when ir comes to products. We have the best agencies that monitor substandard goods. If you can do feasibility studies we can discuss long term relationship

Ok, i'll try and help you find out more information
