To ship cargo from the UK to Nigeria with County Cargo: (1) Pack your goods and drop them off at our Liverpool depot (Unit G6, Queens Dock, L1 0BG) or book a nationwide UK collection; (2) Choose between Standard Air Cargo (5–10 days), Express Air (3–5 days), or Ocean Sea Freight Barrels (4–6 weeks); (3) County Cargo handles transatlantic transit and all Nigerian customs clearance in Lagos; (4) Collect your package at our Ladipo-Oshodi Lagos hub or receive direct doorstep delivery to Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and any state across Nigeria.
Step 1: Choose Your Shipping Method (Air vs. Sea Freight)
Depending on what you are sending, our Shipping from the UK to Nigeria service offers distinct transit modes:
- Standard Air Cargo (5–10 working days): Recommended for clothing, electronics, shoes, gifts, cosmetics, and everyday packages.
- Express Air Courier (3–5 working days): For urgent contracts, business spare parts, and time-critical deliveries.

Step 4: Stress-Free Nigerian Customs Clearance
