Does anyone have firsthand experience with shipping a car from North America (US or Canada) to Nigeria? I’m gathering all the technical information but am interested in the experiences that others have had along with DOs and DON’Ts/Tips and Tricks/Pros and Cons.

Contact a shipping company in the US, there are a lot on the internet. Clearing in Nigeria should be your nightmare.

I can help you with all that though.. let me know if you need my WhatsApp

I don’t want the person receiving the vehicle to experience any stress or roadblocks. Any advice for clearing?

You will get detailed information from the Car Talk section.

Not advisable at this time.

It'd be best to send the recipient the cash equivalent to purchase a car in Nigeria.

Clearing charges are gone over the roof and economically senseless.

I think this might be your best option. I recently shipped an SUV to Nigeria and I regretted it. I spent about #2.6m to clear it, mostly because of the 35% VAT. Shipping it was so easy, I used Grimaldi RORO. But clearing it in Nigeria was one hell of an experience I don't want to have again.

It's really a terrible experience
Those guys at the ports will naked you

I did not experience any delay at all. I shipped it through Dundalk terminal (Baltimore port). I drove the vehicle myself into the terminal with some port security escorts. I made sure that the vehicle was processed, tagged and ready to load before I left. It got to Nigeria a week ahead of the scheduled arrival date. And that was when all hell was let loose lol.

Nigeria is one of the world’s largest car importing countries importing between 300,000 to 400,000 vehicles per annum. For a country with a population of over 200 million and the current number of cars in circulation at between 2.9 million and 3.2 million cars, the number of cars available to Nigerians is one car for every 86 persons which is grossly inadequate because South Africa has a car per capita of 1 for every 6 persons whereas Egypt has 1 for every 12 persons. They growth in car sales every year is between 6 and 15% per annum. Of all imported cars being sold in the market, second hand cars (Tokunbo) make up more than 90% (since most cars are imported and the naira is weak, brand new cars don’t come cheap) of them whereas brand new cars (tear rubber) make up the remaining 8 to

There is a huge market for car sales in Nigeria as Nigerians buy cars every year for different reasons. Nigeria is a very large country by population and it has a sizeable middle class population - more than 9 million individuals with incomes that are capable of purchasing a car with their savings within 24 months. Besides these individuals, we have a larger

The more popular brands are Toyota and Honda are preferred because they are more fuel efficient and have cheap spare parts when compared to other car

Thanks for the offer but vehicles I was wanting to ship to Nigeria haven’t been in any accidents. I sold one locally but still want to ship the other to a relative in Nigeria because I know the quality of cars sold in Nigeria can be poor.

I am so sorry about your experience. Things are not just decent in this clime.
Do you mind sharing the challenges you had during the clearing? I am expecting a shipment through grimaldi by June and I have experienced delay from grimaldi and I don't want to experience further delay or something. Its tiring
