How shipping from Canada to Nigeria works
Shipping from Canada to Nigeria with Foon Chaser Express follows a clear, guided process from quote to delivery. The exact warehouse drop-off point, pickup availability in your Canadian city, and applicable documentation requirements should be confirmed directly with Foon Chaser for your specific shipment.
How it works, at a glance: Request a quote → prepare your shipment → provide required documents → drop off or arrange collection in Canada → Foon Chaser consolidates and processes → air or ocean transport to Nigeria → destination processing → final delivery or collection in Nigeria. See the full 8-step shipping process, or read on for rates, charges, and FAQs.
Customs responsibilities: Customs duties, import taxes, and government levies on the Nigerian side are set by the Nigeria Customs Service and are not Foon Chaser charges. Foon Chaser can guide you through the company's warehouse and documentation requirements, but Foon Chaser does not determine or collect customs duties. Always confirm current rules with NCS and Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) before shipping.

Ocean freight from Canada to Nigeria
Ocean freight is generally the better option for larger or heavier shipments where speed is less important. Common use cases include household goods, full or partial container loads, and commercial cargo.
For current ocean-freight rates, supported ports, container options, and indicative transit times, contact Foon Chaser Express directly. Final pricing depends on volume, commodity, origin and destination port, and the selected service.
Air freight vs ocean freight from Canada to Nigeria
Choosing between air and ocean depends on the size of your shipment, the urgency of the delivery, and the nature of the cargo. Specific transit times, costs, and service availability depend on the commodity, route, season, and the selected service — confirm details with Foon Chaser Express for your shipment.
✈ Choose Air Freight if:
- Shipment is small to medium in size or weight
- You need delivery within days, not weeks
- Goods are high value (electronics, gadgets, fashion)
- Time-sensitive items (urgent restock, gifts, samples)
- Smaller consolidated packs
🌊 Choose Ocean Freight if:
- Shipment is heavy, bulky, or in full containers
- Time is less important than cost
- Commercial cargo or household goods
- Items are not airline-restricted
- Cost-per-kg efficiency matters most
| Factor | Air Freight | Ocean Freight |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Generally faster | Generally slower |
| Best suited for | Smaller, lighter, or time-sensitive shipments | Larger volumes, household goods, commercial cargo |
| Typical consideration | Speed | Volume and cost efficiency |
| Pricing | Based on Foon Chaser's published per-kg rate | Based on volume, container type, and route — request a quote |
| Restrictions | Some items (e.g., liquids, batteries) restricted by airlines | Subject to port, customs, and commodity regulations |

Shipping from Canada to Nigeria: Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Shipping from Canada to Nigeria
Detailed answers to the most common questions about our shipping services, rates, and process. Need more? Chat with us on WhatsApp.
How much does it cost to ship from Canada to Nigeria?
Foon Chaser Express's published air-freight rates are 12.79 CAD/kg to Lagos and 14.98 CAD/kg to Abuja and other Nigerian states, with a 20 kg minimum. Shipments below 20 kg are billed at 44.95 CAD/kg. A flat 50 CAD handling fee applies to every shipment.
The final cost depends on the weight of your shipment, the destination city in Nigeria, any extra item charges (e.g., phones, iPhones, laptops, AirPods, perfume, alcohol), the consolidation pack you choose, and customs duties and destination taxes set by the Nigeria Customs Service. For a binding quote, use the quote form on this page or message Foon Chaser on WhatsApp with your destination, total weight, dimensions, and a description of the items.
What is the air-freight rate from Canada to Lagos?
12.79 CAD/kg with a 20 kg minimum. A 50 CAD handling fee applies per shipment. For example, a 25 kg shipment to Lagos would be 25 × 12.79 = 319.75 CAD in weight charges, plus 50 CAD handling = 369.75 CAD before any extra item charges, customs duties, or destination taxes.
What is the minimum weight for air freight to Nigeria?
The stated minimum for air freight from Canada to Nigeria with Foon Chaser is 20 kg. Shipments below 20 kg are still accepted, but they are charged at the higher per-kg rate of 44.95 CAD/kg. The 50 CAD handling fee still applies on top of that rate. Most customers sending small loads use one of the three consolidation pack sizes to keep the overall cost predictable.
What is the rate for shipments going to Abuja?
14.98 CAD/kg to Abuja and other Nigerian states outside the Lagos delivery area, with a 20 kg minimum. The 50 CAD handling fee also applies per shipment. For example, a 30 kg shipment to Abuja would be 30 × 14.98 = 449.40 CAD in weight charges, plus 50 CAD handling = 499.40 CAD before any extra item charges, customs duties, or destination taxes.
What happens if my package weighs less than 20 kg?
Below the 20 kg minimum, the per-kg rate increases to 44.95 CAD/kg. The 50 CAD handling fee still applies on top of the weight charge. A 10 kg shipment, for example, would be billed at 10 × 44.95 = 449.50 CAD in weight charges, plus 50 CAD handling. This is why many small-shipment customers choose a 24×24×36 or 24×24×48 consolidation pack to bring the per-kg effective cost down.
Is there a handling fee?
Yes. Foon Chaser charges a 50 CAD handling fee per shipment, in addition to the per-kg air-freight rate and any applicable extra item charges. The handling fee covers warehouse receipt, consolidation, labelling, export processing, and handover to the carrier. It is charged once per shipment, not per item or per kilogram.
Can I ship a phone from Canada to Nigeria?
Yes. Phones are accepted by Foon Chaser and charged at 70 CAD each as an extra charge, in addition to the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. For a phone bought online, Foon Chaser treats the purchase as e-commerce and requires both:
- A copy of the invoice or receipt showing the purchase price and seller details.
- A copy of the international passport data page of the consignee (the person receiving the phone in Nigeria).
Both documents must be submitted through Foon Chaser's approved secure process before the warehouse can receive the item. Do not send identity documents through unsecured channels.
Can I ship an iPhone?
Yes. iPhones are accepted by Foon Chaser and charged at 120 CAD each as an extra charge, on top of the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. Because iPhones are sold through e-commerce channels, Foon Chaser also requires the standard e-commerce documentation before warehouse receipt:
- A copy of the invoice or receipt for the iPhone.
- A copy of the international passport data page of the consignee.
Submit documents only through Foon Chaser's approved secure process.
Can I ship a laptop?
Yes. Laptops are accepted by Foon Chaser and charged at 80 CAD each as an extra charge, on top of the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. Laptops purchased online are treated as e-commerce, so the standard e-commerce documentation is also required before warehouse receipt: a copy of the invoice/receipt and a copy of the international passport data page. If the laptop contains a lithium battery, additional airline carrier restrictions may apply — confirm with Foon Chaser before sending.
Can I ship AirPods?
Yes. AirPods are accepted by Foon Chaser and charged at 50 CAD each as an extra charge, in addition to the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. AirPods contain lithium batteries, so airline carrier restrictions can apply depending on the quantity and packaging. For e-commerce purchases, the standard invoice/receipt and passport data page documentation is also required before the warehouse can receive the item.
Can I ship perfume?
Yes. Perfume is accepted by Foon Chaser at 40 CAD each as an extra charge, on top of the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. Perfume is classified as a flammable liquid and is restricted by many airlines and by some destination rules. Confirm eligibility and any required dangerous-goods documentation with Foon Chaser before sending, and make sure the bottle is sealed and packed to airline standards.
Can I ship vitamins or supplements?
Yes. Vitamins and supplements are accepted by Foon Chaser at 14 CAD/kg as an extra charge, on top of the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. Some vitamins and supplements are regulated as pharmaceuticals or controlled substances by Health Canada and the Nigerian destination authority. Confirm the exact product, quantity, and intended use with Foon Chaser (and, if relevant, with the destination authority) before shipping to avoid customs delays or seizure.
Can I ship alcohol?
Foon Chaser lists alcohol at 40 CAD each as an extra charge, on top of the per-kg air-freight rate and the 50 CAD handling fee. Alcohol is heavily regulated — by provincial and federal Canadian rules on the way out, by the airline carrier, and by Nigerian import controls on the way in. Import duties on alcohol in Nigeria are particularly high. Confirm carrier, airline, and destination rules with Foon Chaser before sending any alcohol shipment.
Can I ship car parts?
Yes. Car parts are accepted by Foon Chaser and are listed as "separate charges" — the cost depends on the specific part, its size, weight, and commodity classification. Request a quote with details of the parts (item description, dimensions, weight, quantity, and vehicle make/model if relevant) for an accurate cost. Some car parts contain restricted materials (lithium batteries, airbags, fluids) that may require additional documentation or be prohibited entirely.
Can I ship e-commerce purchases?
Yes. Foon Chaser treats all online purchases as e-commerce shipments, whether they are bought locally in Canada or shipped from international retailers. Before the warehouse can receive any e-commerce item, the customer must provide:
- A copy of the invoice or receipt showing the purchase price, the seller, and a description of the item.
- A copy of the international passport data page of the consignee in Nigeria.
Submit documents only through Foon Chaser's approved secure process — never share identity documents over unsecured channels. Once the documents are approved, the item is processed under the standard air-freight rate plus the item-specific extra charge (e.g., 70 CAD for a phone, 120 CAD for an iPhone, 80 CAD for a laptop).
What documents are required for gadgets?
For any gadget shipped through Foon Chaser, two documents are required before the warehouse can accept the item:
- Invoice or receipt — a copy showing what was bought, from whom, and at what price.
- International passport data page — a clear copy of the bio page of the consignee's international passport.
Both documents must be submitted only through Foon Chaser's approved secure process (in person, via the official contact channels, or through the verified process the company provides). Sending identity documents over unsecured channels (random social media DMs, unverified email addresses) creates identity-theft risk and is not accepted.
What is package consolidation?
Consolidation combines multiple items or multiple online purchases into a single shipment, which simplifies warehouse handling, customs processing, and final-mile delivery in Nigeria. Instead of paying the per-shipment handling fee and per-kg air-freight rate on each small package separately, you pay those once on the consolidated shipment. Foon Chaser offers three set consolidation pack sizes at fixed prices so customers can choose the right size for the items they are sending.
How much are the consolidation packs?
Foon Chaser Express's stated consolidation pack prices are:
- 24 × 24 × 18 inches — 25 CAD (small pack, good for a few clothing items or small gadgets)
- 24 × 24 × 36 inches — 40 CAD (the most popular size, good for a mix of clothing, shoes, and several gadgets)
- 24 × 24 × 48 inches — 60 CAD (large pack, good for bulkier household items or larger commercial orders)
The pack price covers the consolidation itself. The standard per-kg air-freight rate, 50 CAD handling fee, and any item-specific extra charges still apply on top of the pack price.
Should I choose air freight or ocean freight?
Use this rule of thumb:
- Choose air freight if your shipment is small to medium in size or weight (under a few hundred kilograms), if you need delivery within days rather than weeks, if the goods are high value (electronics, gadgets, fashion), or if the items are time-sensitive (urgent restock, gifts, business samples).
- Choose ocean freight if your shipment is heavy, bulky, or shipped in full or partial containers, if time is less important than cost, if you are sending commercial cargo, household goods, or non-perishable items, or if cost-per-kg efficiency matters more than speed.
Ocean freight rates, supported ports, container options, and indicative transit times depend on the commodity, the origin port, and the destination port. Foon Chaser can recommend the right option once your shipment details are known — use the quote form or contact Foon Chaser directly.
How do I get a shipping quote?

Common concerns about shipping from Canada to Nigeria — answered
It depends on what you are comparing. For smaller, time-sensitive, or high-value consignments, air freight is usually the right answer. For larger, non-urgent cargo, ocean freight may be more cost-effective per kg. Foon Chaser can quote both for the same shipment so you can compare. The published per-kg rates give you a transparent starting point — the final total depends on commodity, dimensions, extra item charges, and customs duties and taxes.
Foon Chaser Express is a registered company operating between Canada and Nigeria. Your shipment is handled under a written agreement with documented steps. The Foon Chaser warehouse requirement for gadgets (invoice/receipt + passport data page) is part of how Foon Chaser verifies shipments on receipt. For tracking and milestone updates, contact Foon Chaser directly about the available tracking process for your service.
Customs duties, import taxes, and government levies on the Nigerian side are set by the Nigeria Customs Service — they are not Foon Chaser charges. The amount depends on the cargo's HS code, declared value, and current tariff schedule. Foon Chaser can guide you on documentation, but the duty amount is determined by the authorities. Confirm current rules with Nigeria Customs Service before shipping.
It is a Foon Chaser Express warehouse and company requirement for e-commerce and gadget shipments — not a representation of any Canadian or Nigerian government rule. The requirement exists because Foon Chaser treats online purchases as e-commerce transactions and asks for the invoice/receipt and passport data page to verify shipments on receipt. Submit these documents only through Foon Chaser's approved secure process — never through an unsecured website form.
