Hi Shuaibu, I think that you will find Item 11 on the Import Prohibition list very useful. See : http://www.customs.gov.ng/ProhibitionList/import.php Also, as with every business, you have to establish that there is demand for the drugs you are importing which fall outside the list. The medicines you are thinking of importing might already be in the country - and even cost cheaper. If they are not already in the country, why is this? Is there demand for them, or are there better, local alternatives? You don't want to end up with goods you *though* will move, but in reality are useless. Also, not need to think about getting NAFDAC certification before you do anything because any drug you attempt to sell without NAFDAC certification is deemed illegal, even before you open your mouth. It might be worth looking at NAFDAC's list of blacklisted companies also as many of them are Indian pharmaceutical companies : http://www.nafdacnigeria.org/blacklisted.html Here are instructions on how to get NAFDAC certification for your drugs : http://www.nafdacnigeria.org/drugs.html All the best 1 Like |

naijacutee: That's an amazing insight ! Thanks alot. Am gonna drop that Medics for now. I've another idea though: importing gadgets & tablet computers from Chinese dropshippers. Any suggestion on this? On how i can get my goods delivered to my buddy who is in a sokoto? Can he safely get the goods or must he come to Murtala Muhammad Airport to claim the goods? Thanks |

You're very welcome, Suhaibu. That's also a good idea as well, but you have to remember that there is a lot of competition in this area (as there are less restrictions). It's likely, and probably easier for whatever you're selling to be sent to Lagos first, so it would be a good idea to get someone in Lagos or a company that can handle your logistics properly. Where are you located? I think that the most important thing to do before you import anything is to make sure that you have customers waiting on the ground first. Many make the mistake of importing what they think will sell first, and then they are tied down with the goods. Find out what people are hungry to get and what people need. For example, you can go to supermarkets, shops and see what their customers always ask for and which they don't stock. Look through the "Wanted Ads" on Nairaland and see what people want. Speak to businesses, as they are likely to return your money in bulk if yu don't have the resources to sell your goods individually for more profit. |

Thank you naijacutee: Agreed wholeheartedly, I'm in India right now. It's just that my people are in the North & I really dnt have a trusted hand in Lagos. Can a courier ship my goods from lag air port to the north? I appreciate your time and effort NC. |
