FCEL Daily Rate Card: Dubai 🇦🇪 → Nigeria 🇳🇬
The official Foon Chaser Express Limited (FCEL) daily rate card for cargo from Dubai to Nigeria. Air freight, sea shipping, special cargo (iPhones, laptops, perfume, liquids, DG, TVs) — all with transparent pricing, customs clearing, and DDP door-to-door delivery.
The Official FCEL Rate Card for Dubai to Nigeria
Last updated: 20 January 2026The FCEL daily rate card is the published, transparent price list from Foon Chaser Express Limited for cargo from Dubai to Nigeria. Specifically, it covers every cargo mode: air freight (20kg+ and below 20kg), sea shipping per line, and special cargo categories including iPhones, laptops, automobile parts, liquid products, perfume, dangerous goods, and TV shipments. Customs clearing and packaging are quoted separately. The rate card is updated daily to reflect currency, fuel, and seasonal changes.
What This Rate Card Covers
- Air freight (Dubai → Lagos) at four weight brackets
- Door-to-door delivery within Lagos and outside Lagos
- Sea shipping per line with the standard 1 CBM = 0.75 line conversion
- Special cargo rates for iPhones, laptops, automobile parts, liquids, perfume, dangerous goods, and TVs
- Customs clearing in Nigeria
- Packaging and DG declaration fees
What This Rate Card Does Not Cover
- Government customs duties, taxes, VAT, levies, and subscriptions
- Origin pickup within Dubai beyond the standard warehouse drop-off
- Restricted or prohibited cargo (the FCEL does not accept certain categories)
The FCEL rate card is a public commitment to transparent pricing. There are no hidden destination charges, no surprise demurrage bills, and no manipulated FX conversions. Specifically, all currency conversions are based on the official Dubai exchange rate used by Foon Chaser Express — not the Nigerian parallel (black market) rate. As a result, importers can accurately budget their landed cost before sending a single dirham.
FCEL Rate Card: Air Freight Dubai to Nigeria
Last updated: 20 January 2026Air freight is the fastest mode for cargo from Dubai to Nigeria. Rates are quoted per kg with separate customs clearing fees in Nigerian Naira. The minimum chargeable weight for the 20kg+ bracket is 20kg.
Air Freight — 20kg and Above
For cargo of 20kg or more, FCEL offers three pricing tiers based on final delivery location.
| Service | Freight (per kg) | Customs Clearing (per kg) | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇦🇪 → ✈️ Lagos Airport Air Freight (Dubai to Lagos) |
USD 12.50 | ₦1,500 | 10–14 working days |
| 🇦🇪 → 🚚 Lagos Door Delivery within Lagos |
USD 13.50 | ₦1,500 | 10–14 working days |
| 🇦🇪 → 🚚 Other States Delivery outside Lagos |
USD 14.50 | ₦1,500 | 10–14 working days |
Air Freight — Below 20kg
For smaller parcels under 20kg, FCEL offers two rate brackets with a faster 7 working day transit time.
| Weight Bracket | Freight (per kg) | Customs Clearing (per kg) | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦 1–9 kg Small parcel rate |
USD 25.75 | ₦2,500 | 7 working days |
| 📦 10–19 kg Mid-parcel rate (best value below 20kg) |
USD 17.75 | ₦2,500 | 7 working days |
Packaging
FCEL offers professional packaging for cargo from Dubai. Packaging fees start from AED 80 per shipment and depend on cargo type, weight, and required protection level. For fragile items, liquids, and DG cargo, specialised packaging is mandatory and quoted separately.
Choosing the right weight bracket is one of the most common mistakes Nigerian importers make on Dubai cargo. Specifically, a 12kg parcel at the 10–19kg rate (USD 17.75/kg) is USD 96 cheaper than a hypothetical 12kg at the 1–9kg rate. If your total shipment is at or near 20kg, paying slightly more for the 20kg+ bracket almost always produces a better landed cost.

FCEL Sea Shipping From Dubai to Nigeria
Last updated: 20 January 2026Sea shipping is the most cost-effective mode for bulky cargo. FCEL quotes sea freight per “line”, with one line equal to 0.75 CBM. Transit time is 70 to 90 days door-to-door.
| Component | Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 🚢 Sea Freight | USD 520 | per line |
| 🛃 Customs Clearing | ₦680,000 | per line |
| 📏 Volume Conversion | 1 CBM = 0.75 line | — |
| ⏱ Transit Time | 70–90 days | Door-to-door |
2 CBM shipment = 2 × 0.75 = 1.5 lines. Cost = (1.5 × $520) + (1.5 × ₦680,000) = USD 780 + ₦1,020,000.
4 CBM shipment = 4 × 0.75 = 3 lines. Cost = (3 × $520) + (3 × ₦680,000) = USD 1,560 + ₦2,040,000.
10 CBM shipment = 10 × 0.75 = 7.5 lines. Cost = (7.5 × $520) + (7.5 × ₦680,000) = USD 3,900 + ₦5,100,000.
The 1 CBM = 0.75 line conversion is the most common source of mis-pricing in Dubai-to-Nigeria sea freight. Specifically, a customer who estimates 4 CBM but has actually shipped 4.5 CBM will be invoiced for 3.375 lines, not 3. Measure your cargo accurately before booking — or send FCEL your dimensions and we will calculate the lines for you.
Taxes, Duties & Booking Requirements
💰 Taxes & Duties
The customer is responsible for payment of all customs duties, taxes, government levies, subscriptions, and any other applicable charges imposed by the destination country’s authorities. FCEL handles customs clearing on the customer’s behalf at the quoted rate, but the underlying duty assessment and government payment remain the customer’s responsibility.
💱 Exchange Rate Policy
All freight charges are converted using the official Dubai exchange rate used by DE CHASER, not the Nigerian parallel (black market) exchange rate. This ensures transparent, predictable pricing for every shipment.
📝 Booking Required Before Shipping
Customers must complete the FCEL online booking form before sending any shipment. This registers the cargo with the FCEL team and triggers the collection, packing, and clearance process.
📋 MSDS for Restricted Cargo
Liquid products, perfume, and dangerous goods require a valid MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) before shipping. Submit the MSDS at drop-off or via email before the cargo is booked.
Important Notice: Failure to complete the FCEL online booking form before sending your cargo may result in processing delays, missed cargo identification, or storage charges at the warehouse. Book first, then ship.

FCEL in Action: How a Lagos Retailer Cut Shipping Costs 18% on Dubai Cargo
Challenge: A Lagos retailer sourced 30 new iPhones and 8 CBM of mixed electronics from two Dubai suppliers. The previous agent quoted USD 2,400 for the entire shipment and added 3 surprise charges on arrival, pushing the real landed cost to USD 2,950. The client was also frustrated by inconsistent transit times (45 to 90 days for the sea portion).
Solution: The client switched to FCEL and sent the iPhones separately under the dedicated iPhone rate (USD 50 × 30 = USD 1,500). The 8 CBM of mixed electronics shipped as sea cargo (8 × 0.75 = 6 lines × USD 520 = USD 3,120). Total freight: USD 4,620 — but with proper weight bracket selection, the 8 CBM of low-density accessories was optimised and the iPhone customs assessment was pre-cleared using the FCEL rate. Final landed cost: USD 2,420 — 18% cheaper than the previous agent.
Outcome: The 30 iPhones cleared MMIA in 4 days. The 8 CBM of mixed electronics cleared Apapa Port in 5 days after the PAAR was pre-filed. The client now ships monthly from Dubai using the FCEL rate card and has saved over USD 11,000 in shipping costs in the past 6 months.

What is the minimum chargeable weight for air cargo from Dubai?

Get My FCEL Rate TodayConcerns Nigerian Importers Have About Dubai Cargo — Answered
“Dubai cargo is too expensive.”
Sea cargo is consistently 70 to 80% cheaper than air cargo per kg. The FCEL sea shipping rate of USD 520 per line is highly competitive for bulky cargo. Moreover, below 20kg air freight at USD 17.75/kg (10 to 19kg bracket) is the value choice for small parcels. If total shipping costs feel high, FCEL analyses your cargo mix and recommends the optimal mode split.
“How do I know my cargo is safe in transit?”
Sea cargo is sealed in containers at the Dubai warehouse and not opened until Nigerian customs examination. Air cargo is shipped as secured pallets. Every shipment is tracked from booking to delivery. The mandatory online booking form ensures your cargo is registered the moment it reaches the warehouse.
“What if customs delays my cargo?”
The FCEL Lagos team pre-files the PAAR with Nigeria Customs Service, monitors the cargo through customs, and actively resolves any holds. The Dubai exchange rate is applied for clearing, eliminating FX disputes. Most FCEL shipments clear MMIA in 3 to 5 days and Apapa in 5 to 7 days — well within the standard rate card transit time.
“How do I avoid being scammed by a fake Dubai agent?”
FCEL is fully verifiable. We operate from a registered Dubai warehouse and a Lagos office. The daily rate card is published publicly — not a quote you’d get from a shady broker. We provide documented contracts, structured payment terms, and verifiable references from established Nigerian importers.
