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.
