When you’re importing goods to Nigeria, it’s important to take into consideration the tariffs that are in place. You may be able to get around these tariffs by using a forwarding company. Forwarding companies will help you bring your goods into Nigeria without paying the tariffs. However, it’s important to check with your customs office to make sure that the forwarding company is legitimate and that the goods will actually be imported into Nigeria.

How to Import Goods from Germany to Nigeria
When you’re importing goods to Nigeria, it’s important to take into consideration the tariffs that are in place. You may be able to get around these tariffs by using a forwarding company. Forwarding companies will help you bring your goods into Nigeria without paying the tariffs. However, it’s important to check with your customs office to make sure that the forwarding company is legitimate and that the goods will actually be imported into Nigeria.

Forwarding companies typically do this by having an agent in Germany who receives your goods and then sends them on their way to Nigeria. This can be a bureaucratic process, but it does work, and good for those looking for a method of import without breaking the bank!

Another option is if you have friends or family members who live in Nigeria—or even just a business contact—who can act as an intermediary between you and customs when they receive your goods. This would ensure that all taxes are paid in advance too!

In most cases, however, there are many logistical challenges involved with importing goods from Germany to Nigeria which can make this process more complicated than simply doing it yourself.

What tariffs do Nigeria have on imports?
Nigeria has 10 tariffs on imports that can be avoided by using a forwarding company. The tariffs include the following:

1) 5% tariff on all goods

2) 7.5% tariff on all goods for companies with less than 50 employees

3) 10% tariff on all goods for companies with less than 100 employees

4) 20% tariff on all goods for companies with less than 250 employees

5) 30% tariff on all goods for companies with less as 100 employees

6) 40% tariff on all goods for companies with less than 250 employees

7) 60% tariff on all goods for companies with less than 500 employees

8) 80% or 100% tariff depending on the commodity item being imported into Nigeria

How do forwarding companies help you avoid tariffs?
Most forwarders will take care of the tariffs for you. You don’t have to worry about paying extra or making sure that your goods are actually going to be imported into Nigeria.

Forwarding companies will typically collect the fees, as well as any taxes and duties you might be required to pay. They often do this by collecting these fees from their clients at a later date, after the goods have been delivered and accepted in Nigeria.

If you choose a forwarding company, make sure that they can help you import your goods without paying tariffs. If they cannot do this, this may not be a good option for you.

Verify the company you’re using is legitimate.
If you don’t want to use a forwarding company, you can avoid paying tariffs by using an import agent.

An import agent will help you get around tariffs and import your goods into Nigeria without paying the taxes. However, it’s important to verify that the person is legitimate and that they are registered with the customs office. Before using an import agent or a forwarding company, check with your customs office.
