Wigmore's bonded logistics hub inside the Lekki Free Zone puts your stock beside West Africa's deepest port — stored, processed and ready to sell, with customs duties deferred until the moment goods enter the Nigerian market.
Outside a free zone, duties and taxes fall due when your container lands — before you've sold a single unit. Inside the zone, the clock only starts when you say so.
Your cargo berths at the Lekki Deep Sea Port — West Africa's deepest — and moves minutes, not days, into our bonded Grade-A facility in Alaro City. No Apapa congestion, no demurrage anxiety.
Duty status NOT YET DUEHold stock racked or in bulk, repackage, label, kit and quality-check — all inside the zone, all before a single naira of duty is owed. Goods can sit sales-ready for as long as your strategy needs.
Duty status DEFERREDDraw stock into Nigeria in tranches and pay duty only on what leaves, when it leaves. Selling to Ghana or Côte d'Ivoire instead? Re-export directly from the zone with no Nigerian duties at all.
Duty status PAY ONLY ON RELEASEEvery benefit below compounds into the same result: your capital stays in your business instead of sitting at customs.
Pay customs duty when goods are released to market — not when they land. Import a year of stock; fund the duty from each month's sales.
Draw down inventory to match demand. If the market slows, your stock waits duty-free instead of tying up capital you've already paid.
Serve Ghana, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire and the wider ECOWAS market from one Lagos hub — goods re-exported from the zone never incur Nigerian duty.
Direct proximity to the Lekki Deep Sea Port means faster vessel calls, faster clearance and a shorter, safer first mile than any mainland route.
Zone rules permit full foreign ownership with no expatriate quotas, full repatriation of capital and profits, and no currency restrictions.
Repackage, relabel, kit and assemble inside the zone — localise products for each market before duty is ever assessed on them.
Position a full season of stock at the edge of a 200-million-person market — and only pay duty as your distributor draws it down. Test, localise and scale on evidence, not on a sunk customs bill.
Bulk purchasing power without the bulk duty hit. Consolidate larger orders at better unit prices, hold them bonded, and release against confirmed demand — with FEFO, batch tracking and shelf-life control protecting every pallet.
Give your customers a bonded consolidation point beside the region's deepest port: stuff, destuff, cross-dock and transship without pushing cargo through congested mainland corridors.
This isn't a bonded shed. It's 29,000 m² of EDGE-certified, systems-driven warehousing run to international contract-logistics standards — with your inventory visible to you in real time, from anywhere.
