Chemical compliance in Nigeria

Seaports	Apapa (Lagos), Tin Can Island (Lagos), Lekki Deep Sea Port
Airports	Lagos Murtala Muhammed (LOS), Abuja (ABV)
Dangerous goods	IMDG by sea, IATA DGR by air

Imports start with Form M, opened through an authorised dealer bank, which ties the transaction to foreign-exchange and customs processing. Most chemicals and all APIs need a NAFDAC import permit obtained by the importer before shipment, so share the permit details with us before we load. Some regulated products also require a SONCAP certificate from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria. Keep the Form M number, NAFDAC permit and our invoice consistent. Dangerous goods must meet IMDG or IATA packing and declaration requirements.

Questions

Biochemicals for Nigeria

Can Zemixal deliver biochemicals to Nigeria?

Yes. We ship by sea to Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos), by air cargo or by express courier depending on quantity and urgency. Every lot carries a COA and a 16-section GHS SDS.

Which documents come with a biochemicals shipment to Nigeria?

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of analysis and SDS as standard, plus the bill of lading or air waybill and a certificate of origin. Anything specific to NAFDAC (chemicals) / NESREA is agreed with you at quote stage.

How long does delivery to Nigeria take?

Allow 25–35 days for ocean transit or 3–6 days by air, plus packing, export clearance and import clearance. The timeline on this page shows each stage.

How are cold-chain biochemicals packed for international transit?

Products that need refrigeration travel in insulated shippers with frozen gel packs, and frozen items go on dry ice with the matching UN 1845 declaration. We pick express or air routes with short transit times and book shipments early in the week so that parcels do not sit in a warehouse over a weekend.

Are your buffers checked for heavy metals and UV absorbance?

Many biological buffers are listed with heavy metal limits and UV absorbance at 260 and 280 nm, because these affect protein and nucleic acid assays. The exact parameters vary by product and grade. Check the specification on the product page or request a sample COA through the quote panel before ordering.
