Business Between The Uk And Nigeria

Hi,

I am living in the UK, my friend in Lagos. Recently we were discussing whether it would be a good idea to make extra cash by exporting goods from UK to Lagos, we are now doing some market research, what goods would sell?

Is anyone doing this at the moment?

We would be really interested to know, vice versa too ofcourse, Nigeria to the UK.

Thank you in advance.

Cars but u get them from germany and belgium

Ladies clothes jeans and accessorize -mainly for students

Menswatch -bankers n co

office shirts-bankers


U really need to know people that can afford these things and pay instantly

I was thinking: Small Scale , like a one person business, everything fits into ur luggage or pay more for the extra luggage

@LoverBwoy, would you get a good return on your investment with it being so small scale? I advise you to do some research. What do people want in Nija that they can not allready get? Start a thread on Nairaland. Baggage checks at the airport can be a real pain unless you have someone inside. You might find that your goods are confiscated. Good luck though.

Can someone tell me the process of importing goods into Nigeria via Ship?
What is the cost for a container of goods?
I was thinking of importing electronics such as Camcorders, Laptops, etc because they go 4 ridiculous prices in Nigeria
Some peoplle ship them to Ghana, because of the unsafenes of Nigerian Customs in LAgos and Port Harcourt

Yeah I need to ship some Laptops to Nigeria. I guess i have to buy Insurance and hope that my recipient gets it. You cannot get delivery confirmation with USPS to Nigeria. UPS,DHL and Fedex cost too much. Does anyone have any ideas?

there r some local safe courier services, affiliated wit other local courier services abroad, they can take care of shipping and stuff for you, like in london there is ifex courier which is run by ifesinachi transport group.tested and tried,  they could take care of your shipping at lil or no cost,  if u contact some local courier services in naija, they will let u know if they have a partner in your country,

Clothes and accesories will do well,

But i wud like to know how i can get some stuffs from uk to nigeria cos fedex aint coming thru (20-50kg range)

why dont try freighting it.there are some freight companies that do just that.femade is one of them.oceanic freight is another.diamond and net cargo also.
i have used net cargo and oceanic freight severally.

I know cloths are meant to be contraband in Nigeria. But you still see all the rule makers and there wife’s in Lace. Where does that come from? My dear if you want to go into the clothing business please don’t let anyone stop you. Trust me you will make so much profit from it if you sell at wholesale as you do not leave in Nigeria. Just make sure you take it to Nigeria yourself and not cargo.

Men's Clothing are the best.

Hi everyone,

For people who need to want to start up a business. Please Read on.

I have a friend who supplies designers clothes, shoes, phones, sunglasses etc at a cheap price but you MUST buy in bulk. Some of the designers includes Gucci,Prada,Polo, D&G etc. I have tried to attach some pictures with this posting, but if you cannot view please mail me at tjstoreuk@yahoo.co.uk.

In addition I have used fridges and photocopiers (coloured/black & white) (10 approx) and hundreds of printers for sale mostly HP with ink inside them. Please email for more info at tjstoreuk@yahoo.co.uk.

Thank You.

Hi everybody!
What about import trucks to Nigeria? Models what companies and people need! Is profit god?

Next clothes, shoes, bags, anthing "Next". For the best time to buy in the UK, December and August sale. Go to the "Next Clearance" shop in Lakeside, Essex. You will find massive reductions in everything.

TM Lewin shirts for men is good as well.

Primark clothes for the cheap end of the market.

Good luck.

HI,

Try Femade UK Limited

Google it and you would get results!!

naijacutee:

With regards to export agents from the UK, I would recommend Sow UK Ltd. They are based in New Cross, London. You can check out their website at : www.sowukltd.co.uk

Sow UK Ltd

They have no history at all and are not even listed on the UK company register

They have only had there internet domain for a little more than one month

naijacutee:


They are registered in the UK companies register as SASS Limited for Sow Air and Sea Services.

And what if they have only had internet access for 1 month? Many brick-and-mortar businesses do not think of going online unless someone proves to them that an online presence would make a difference in their business activities. Whether they have a website or not does not change the fact that they have been providing quality service offline for over 10 years. Not every business owner is internet savvy - some people still need a bit of time to adjust to the whole idea. . . Besides, if you have your doubts, their physical address is listed on their website. Why don't you pay them a visit and see for yourself?

Sorry, but you can not be too careful, the shipping agency is the most used scam company of the Yahoo boys

Sibli: those items you've listed are banned from import? (the link doesnt work)
where else to look for rules/laws?
Does one need to be registered importer/exporter or can he just go ahead and buy/sell as he please?
I heard that no one in Nigeria pays taxes, is that true?

S

Try Metropol on 01932754673. I got their address on this website sometimes ago. I have used them consistently ever since and there had been no problems.

Hi everyone, I have access to massive quantities of female clothes from regular High Street Shops (top shop etc) at amazing prices. I got into this with the aim of exporting to Nigeria, but on second thoughts if I can get whole sale Nigerian buyers here in London, better for me.

So if your interested, send me an email (bozga2007@yahoo.co.uk).

Note: These arent out of season clothing , they are all current and its ongoing.
