Choose a commodity and enter your values. You'll see the NESS levy, your zero-duty and zero-VAT confirmation, and the exact document checklist for that product.

Cheap to export. Easy to get wrong.

The levy is tiny — rejected consignments, failed inspections and unpaid buyers are where exporters lose money. Send this estimate to our export desk and we'll handle documentation, quality pre-checks, freight and buyer-side payment security.

Estimates reflect Nigeria's published export framework as at 2026: zero export duty on non-oil goods, the 0.5% NESS administrative charge on FOB value for non-oil exports, and zero-rated VAT. Inspection (CCI), phytosanitary, fumigation, NAFDAC and certificate-of-origin fees are charged at cost per shipment and included in our full quote. EEG incentive shown as an indicative 5–15% range for qualifying registered exporters and is subject to government approval. Official requirements are set by NEPC, NCS, NAQS and the CBN; Wigmore Trading is an independent company and not a government agency.

Why exporters ship with Wigmore

We don't just clear your export. We sell Nigeria to the world.

MARKET ACCESSBuyers on three continents

With teams in Lagos, Accra, London and New York, we don't stop at the port — we connect Nigerian commodities to vetted international buyers and negotiate on your side.

COMPLIANCE FLUENCYNEPC to NXP, handled

Exporter registration, NXP processing through the bank, inspection and CCI, phytosanitary and fumigation, certificates of origin — we run the full document chain daily.

QUALITY ASSURANCEPre-checked before it sails

Moisture, purity and grading checks before loading — because a consignment rejected in Hamburg or Ho Chi Minh costs a hundred times the inspection fee.

GET PAIDPayment security built in

Letters of credit, escrow and vetted-buyer terms so your goods never sail against a promise. Repatriation handled correctly through your NXP, keeping you compliant and creditable.

The pain points we exist to remove

Why first exports fail — and how yours won't.

Rejected on arrival

Aflatoxin in groundnuts, moisture in ginger, impurities in sesame — destination rejection is the most expensive way to learn quality standards. We pre-test and grade before loading, to the buyer's specification.

The documentation ping-pong

NXP at the bank, inspection booking, CCI, phytosanitary, fumigation, origin certificates — each office with its own queue. We run the whole chain in parallel so paperwork is ready when the cargo is.

Buyers who vanish at payment

Goods shipped against a WhatsApp promise become goods donated. We structure LCs, escrow and part-payment terms with buyers we've vetted — you ship against security, not hope.

Too small to fill a container

Great product, half a container of it. Our consolidation lines group compatible cargo so smaller exporters access the same freight rates as the big houses.

Prohibited-list surprises

Ship maize or rough timber and it's seized at the port. This calculator flags prohibited commodities instantly — and where a processed version is legal (finished leather, processed rubber), we'll show you that route.

Leaving incentives unclaimed

Many exporters never collect the Export Expansion Grant they qualify for. We structure your exports to capture every legitimate incentive — processed goods earn more than raw.

From farm gate to foreign buyer

Your commodity. Our machinery.

Tell us what you're exporting, the volume and where it's going — we'll confirm the compliance chain, pre-check quality, secure the buyer side and quote the full journey.
