This type of shipment is called 'fcl shipping'. It\u2019s typically cheaper for high-volume goods and provides safety since the container is sealed from origin to destination.<br><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>When to Use:<\/strong> <\/span>FCL is suitable when the cargo measures more than 13\/14\/15 CBM. This choice becomes more cost-effective as the 'fcl shipping quote', understandably, does not increase significantly with the volume of goods.<br><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>Example:<\/strong> <\/span>For instance, a manufacturer shipping 15 CBM of machinery parts to Nigeria from the US could opt for an 'fcl container'. They might choose a '20'ft container' or a '40'ft container' depending on their cargo size. This way, they assure the safety of their goods since no other shipments are included in the same space.<br><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>Cost Implications:<\/strong> <\/span>Cost-wise, though the initial 'fcl shipping quote' might be higher than Less than Container Load (LCL), you'll likely have lower costs per unit shipped with an FCL - especially with higher volumes. Also, the absence of extra handling associated with LCL means reduced risk of damages, potentially saving you more in the long run.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>Less Than Container Load (LCL)<\/strong><\/span> shipping is an option where your cargo shares container space with others', reducing cost since you're only paying for the portion you occupy.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> LCL is better suited for shipping goods that don't take up much space (around 13\/14\/15 CBM or less). This makes the service particularly attractive for businesses shipping smaller amounts, providing price flexibility.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> If you're shipping a variety of canned foods from a manufacturer in Ohio to a grocery store in Lagos, but your cargo only totals 12 CBM, choosing lcl shipment can save costs as your freight will share the ocean container with other shippers.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> LCL freight can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments, unlike Full Container Load (FCL) where you pay for the whole container. LCL lessens the financial burden by allowing you to pay for only the space you use. However, keep in mind that you may face additional handling charges due to consolidated shipments being unpacked at the destination port.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Streamline your shipping process with DocShipper, your go-to international freight forwarder.

Simply, it&#8217;s the total weight you&#8217;d see if you put your package on a scale. <strong>Volumetric weight<\/strong>, however, is a value derived from the total volume that your shipment occupies. This is not necessarily linked to the physical weight but instead considers the space it takes up on an aircraft.<\/p><br><p><strong>In Air cargo, you calculate the volumetric weight by multiplying the length, width, and height (in cm) of your package and dividing by 6000. Let&#8217;s illustrate this with an example. Assume you have a package measuring 40cm x 30cm x 20cm. The volumetric weight would be (403020)\/6000 = 4 Kgs or 8.82 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Now in Express Air Freight, this calculation is bit different. Here we use a standard divisor of 5000 instead of 6000. Now consider the same package dimensions, the volumetric weight would be (403020)\/5000 = 4.8 Kgs or 10.58 lbs.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The gross weight versus volumetric weight calculation is critical because it impacts your shipment cost. Freight charges are determined based on whichever is higher between the two. Therefore, incorrectly estimating either could lead to miscalculations in your shipping budget. This knowledge helps you manage your shipping costs effectively.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ba27cb1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ba27cb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4464599 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d4464599\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aff22d76 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aff22d76\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and Nigeria<\/h2><br><p><strong><a style=\"color: #920d12\" href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/door-to-door-shipping-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Door to Door shipping<\/a><\/strong> bridges the gap between the U.S. and Nigeria, promising a seamless transport of your goods right from the origin to the destined threshold.<\/p><br><p>It&#8217;s a no-fuss, efficient method that eliminates the need for multi-step freight management.<\/p><br><p>So, are you ready to unravel the pros of this all-inclusive shipping solution that&#8217;s literally tailor-made for your ease?

The price paid for the goods. This is your product cost.<br \/><br>2. The cost to physically get the goods from the US to Nigeria, which is the international shipping cost.

The cost of insurance to protect your goods during transport.<\/p><br><p><strong>The sum of these gives us the Customs Value, also identified as the CIF Value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). So, if you paid $100 for your goods, $30 on shipping, and $10 on insurance, your CIF Value would be $140. This is the value that will be used for customs calculations in Nigeria.

In this context, Nigeria operates a harmonized system of tariffs (HS).<\/p><br><p>To find the applicable tariff rate, you would typically reference <a href=\"https:\/\/customs.gov.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Nigeria&#8217;s National Customs and Excise<\/strong><\/a> Tariff, inputting the HS code related to your product and noting down the percentage applied.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s illustrate with an example. Assume you&#8217;re importing athletic shoes (HS code 640411), and your CIF (cost, insurance, freight) is valued at $10,000.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>From the tariff tool, you discover a 40% duty rate applies. The calculation for the import duty is as follows:<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>Import Duty = (CIF value x Tariff Rate) = ($10,000 x 0.4) = $4,000<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Therefore, the importer pays an import duty of $4,000 to Nigerian customs for this shipment. This exercise aims to illustrate the process \u2013 always refer to the Official Tariff tool for the actual rates.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ece86eb6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ece86eb6\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-843530e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"843530e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>In addition to the <strong>standard tariff<\/strong>, shipping goods from the US to Nigeria could incur other costs that directly depend on the country of origin and the item type. For instance, an excise duty might apply for specific goods. You might also face anti-dumping taxes, applicable when goods are priced below the normal value in their domestic market.<\/p><br><p><strong>One significant import cost is the VAT (Value Added Tax). For instance, if Nigeria&#8217;s VAT rate is hypothetically set at 7.5%, this will be applied to the customs value of your goods plus any import duties due. So, if your product costs $100 and you have import duties of $20, the VAT payable is 7.5% of ($100+$20), which comes to $9 (please note these figures are for illustrative purposes only).<\/strong><\/p><br><p>The key takeaway here is to anticipate these extra costs when budgeting for your shipment, thereby avoiding any unwelcome surprises upon arrival. Always consider doing thorough research, or better yet, consulting with a customs specialist adept with Nigerian customs laws for a more accurate estimation.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e3bf4a7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"4e3bf4a7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90c9ab2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90c9ab2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>In Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the <strong>Customs Duties<\/strong>, here&#8217;s a simple way to calculate customs duties for goods shipped from the US to Nigeria. You&#8217;ll need to consider three main factors: customs value (CV), Value Added Tax (VAT), and anti-dumping taxes.<\/p><br><p><strong>For instance, if your shipment&#8217;s CV is $10,000 with a duty rate of 20%, the customs duties will be $2,000 ($10,000 20%). This considers only customs duties without VAT.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>If VAT is also involved on the same shipment, calculate 7.5% of the customs value added to the duty. Here, VAT would be $750 ($10,000 + $2,000) 7.5% making total charges $2,750.<\/strong><\/p><br><p><strong>For the final example, assume anti-dumping taxes of 60% and an excise duty of 5%. The calculation becomes more complex. First, calculate customs duty and VAT as above ($2,750), then add anti-dumping taxes ($6,000), and finally excise duty ($10,000 + $2,000 + $6,000) 5% = $900. The total charges here would be $9,650.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Remember, each shipment is unique! That&#8217;s where DocShipper comes in.
