Shipping Vehicles to Nigeria

One of my customers asked me recently to assist him with shipping vehicles to Nigeria. This is actually quite complicated because the cost of airfreighting vehicles is incredibly expensive, so most go by conventional sea freight (since very few vehicles can fit into a container). All sea freight shipments to Nigeria presently require a Form M. In addition, the registration documents need to be submitted with the shipping documents to ensure that the vehicles do not break Nigerian law regarding limitations on age. Vehicles are deemed to be hazardous, so Hazardous Certificates are also required. Pilfering is a huge problem, so the rule is that anything which could be taken, such as ash trays and gear lever knobs are removed and packed in wooden cases. This is not an impossible exercise, but it is an expensive one.
