The Official Foon Chaser Express Limited Rate Card for China to Lagos
Last updated: 20 January 2026The FCEL daily rate card is the published, transparent price list from Foon Chaser Express Limited for cargo from China to Lagos, Nigeria. We provide reliable, secure, and cost-effective shipping solutions. Specifically, it covers air freight (normal, express, battery), sea freight per CBM, special cargo (iPhones, laptops, nose masks, Hong Kong shipments, battery cargo), and a clearly defined restricted items policy. The rate card is updated daily to reflect currency, fuel, and seasonal changes.
What This Rate Card Covers
- Air freight at four weight brackets: Express (20kg+), Below 20kg (1-10kg and 16-19kg), 20kg+ Office Pickup, 20kg+ Door-to-Door Lagos, 20kg+ Other States
- Sea freight at USD 495 per CBM (normal) or USD 545 per CBM (battery) — both all-inclusive of customs clearance
- Special cargo rates for nose masks, iPhones, laptops, Hong Kong shipments, and battery cargo
- Customs clearance charges (in NGN per kg)
- Mandatory online booking form pre-shipment
- Tracking number requirement (must be shared immediately)
What This Rate Card Does Not Cover
- Government customs duties, taxes, levies, and subscriptions in Nigeria
- Restricted or prohibited items (drones, liquids, medicines, etc.)
- Origin pickup from Chinese suppliers (warehouse drop-off only)
- Storage charges for cargo held in transit or at destination
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 DECHASER’s approved China exchange rate — not the Nigerian parallel (black market) rate. As a result, importers can accurately budget their landed cost before sending a single yuan.
FCEL Air Freight: China to Lagos
Last updated: 20 January 2026Air freight is the fastest mode for cargo from China to Lagos. 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 Transit Time
| Cargo Type | Transit Time |
|---|---|
| Normal Cargo | 7–10 Working Days |
| Battery Cargo | 15–25 Working Days |
| Express Service (minimum 20kg) | 3–4 Working Days |
Express Delivery (Minimum 20kg)
The fastest air cargo option for urgent shipments from China to Lagos.
| Item | Rate |
|---|---|
| Freight | USD 18.98 / kg |
| Customs Clearance | ₦2,500 / kg |
| Transit Time | 3–4 Working Days |
Shipments 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) |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 kg (Normal Goods) | USD 20.50 | ₦1,500 |
| 16–19 kg (Normal Goods) | USD 16.98 | ₦1,500 |
Shipments of 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇨🇳 Office Pickup (from our China warehouse) | USD 12.90 | ₦1,500 | 7–10 working days |
| 🇳🇬 Door-to-Door Within Lagos | USD 14.88 | ₦1,500 | 7–10 working days |
| 🇳🇬 Delivery to Other States | USD 16.58 | ₦1,500 | 7–10 working days |
20kg+ example (Door-to-Door Lagos): 50 kg = (50 × $14.88) + (50 × ₦1,500) = USD 744 + ₦75,000.
20kg+ example (Other States): 50 kg = (50 × $16.58) + (50 × ₦1,500) = USD 829 + ₦75,000.
Choosing the right weight bracket is one of the most common mistakes importers make. Specifically, a 19kg parcel at the 16-19kg rate (USD 16.98/kg) costs 322.62 USD, while a 20kg parcel at the Office Pickup rate (USD 12.90/kg) costs 258 USD — a saving of 64.62 USD. The moment your parcel hits 20kg, switch to the 20kg+ bracket for instant savings.

FCEL Sea Shipping: China to Lagos (Including Customs Clearance)
Last updated: 20 January 2026Sea shipping is the most cost-effective mode for bulky cargo. Foon Chaser Express Limited quotes sea freight per CBM, with customs clearance included. Transit time is 60 to 70 days door-to-door.
| Cargo Type | Rate (per CBM) | Includes | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦 Normal Cargo | USD 495 / CBM | Freight + Customs Clearance | 60–70 Days |
| 🔋 Battery Cargo | USD 545 / CBM | Freight + Customs Clearance | 60–70 Days |
2 CBM shipment = 2 × $495 = USD 990 all-inclusive
4 CBM shipment = 4 × $495 = USD 1,980 all-inclusive
10 CBM shipment = 10 × $495 = USD 4,950 all-inclusive
5 CBM battery cargo = 5 × $545 = USD 2,725 all-inclusive
How to Calculate CBM: Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) = CBM per carton. Multiply by the number of cartons to get your total CBM. For example, 10 cartons measuring 0.5m × 0.4m × 0.3m = 10 × 0.06 = 0.6 CBM. Send Foon Chaser Express your dimensions and we will calculate the total CBM for you.
Sea shipping is consistently 60 to 80% cheaper than air cargo per kg. For commercial imports above 150 kg or bulky items, sea shipping is the standard mode of choice. The FCEL rate is all-inclusive of customs clearance — no separate Nigerian clearing fee applies.

FCEL in Action: How a Lagos Retailer Cut Shipping Costs 25% on China Cargo
Challenge: A Lagos retailer sourced 30 iPhones and 8 CBM of mixed electronics from two Chinese 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 30 × 30 = USD 900). The 8 CBM of mixed electronics shipped as sea cargo (8 × $495 = USD 3,960, all-inclusive of customs clearance). Total freight: USD 4,860. 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 2,210 — 25% 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 China using the FCEL rate card and has saved over USD 12,000 in shipping costs in the past 6 months.

Get My FCEL China Rate TodayConcerns Nigerian Importers Have About China Cargo — Answered
“China to Lagos shipping is too expensive.”
Sea cargo is consistently 60-80% cheaper than air cargo per kg. The FCEL sea shipping rate of USD 495 per CBM is highly competitive for bulky cargo. Moreover, below 20kg air freight at USD 16.98/kg (11-15kg 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 China 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 and tracking number requirement ensure your cargo is registered the moment it leaves your supplier.
“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 DECHASER China exchange rate is applied for clearing, eliminating FX disputes. Most FCEL shipments clear MMIA in 3-5 days and Apapa in 5-7 days — well within the standard rate card transit time.
“How do I avoid being scammed by a fake China agent?”
FCEL is fully verifiable. We operate from a registered Guangzhou office 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.
