This is an FCEL warehouse/documentation requirement, not a universal government requirement.
Air Freight Packaging
Packaging should be appropriate for international air transportation. Packing is charged separately from the base freight cost.
| Packing | Price |
|---|---|
| Small Box | ₦2,000 each |
| Medium Box | ₦2,500 each |
| Big Box | ₦3,000 each |

This documentation charge is not automatically included in the base freight cost and does not apply to every shipment. FCEL will confirm whether it is required for your cargo.
What Weight Is Used to Calculate Air Freight?
International air freight pricing can depend on the weight used by the carrier or logistics provider for billing. This is known as chargeable weight.
Three terms are useful to understand:
- Actual weight: The weight of the shipment as measured on a scale.
- Dimensional / volumetric weight: A calculated weight based on the package dimensions. Some carriers use this when a package is large but light.
- Chargeable weight: The weight that the carrier or logistics provider uses to calculate the freight cost. It may be the actual weight, the dimensional weight, or the higher of the two.
Where applicable, FCEL will confirm the chargeable weight used for your shipment. Package dimensions matter because larger or irregular packages may be billed based on dimensional/volumetric weight.
Air Freight vs Sea Freight from Nigeria to Canada
Compare the two main international shipping methods. The right choice depends on your shipment.
| Factor | Air Freight | Sea Freight |
|---|---|---|
| Transportation mode | Air | Ocean |
| Typical use | Time-sensitive or suitable cargo | Larger or less time-sensitive cargo |
| Speed | Generally faster | Generally slower |
| Pricing basis | Shipment/chargeable-weight dependent | Shipment-specific |
| Best consideration | Timing | Volume and planning |
| FCEL pricing on this page | ₦15,500/kg published export rate | Contact FCEL for current pricing |
Do not assume ₦15,500/kg applies to sea freight. Sea freight pricing depends on volume, container type, cargo type and route. Learn about FCEL sea freight.
When Should I Choose Air Freight?
Air freight can be worth considering when:
- Timing matters
- Cargo is suitable for air transportation
- The shipment is not better suited to ocean freight
- The customer values faster transportation
- The cargo requires an air-cargo solution
The right option depends on cargo type, size, timing, budget and applicable requirements. Air freight is not always the best option for every shipment.
