You see every cost before you commit.

Landed cost means the item delivered to you in Nigeria, not the price on a factory quote. It is made up of:

• The goods, paid to the supplier in China.
• Sea freight, your share of the container from China to Lagos.
• Customs duty, set by the HS code your item falls under.
• Clearing and port handling, at the Lagos port.
• Our fee, shown to you as its own line.

Nothing turns up at the port that you were not shown at the start.

A container has one freight cost from the port in China to the port in Lagos. We divide it by the usable volume and charge each order for the space it actually takes, so a knife block carries far less freight than a cookware set of the same value. You are charged for your volume, not an average.

Every item is tagged with the HS code that governs it, and the duty rate follows from that code and the current Nigeria Customs Service tariff. It is a published government rate, not something we set, and the rate that applies to your goods is shown in your quote.

Your supplier is paid in China. You pay us in naira, here. We handle the conversion and the transfer, and you get the record of it. The rate used for your order is fixed when you commit, so a move in the naira afterwards does not change your bill.

Our fee is for the work and for what we know: finding the supplier, checking they are real, holding the price, watching production and getting the goods to you. It appears as its own line, separate from freight and duty, which are passed to you at cost.

You get the full breakdown in your quote, before you pay anything and before you are committed to anything. Costs that are genuinely not fixed yet, such as freight on a sailing that has not been booked, are given as a range rather than as a figure we would have to revise later.
