How Cargo Shipping Cost Is Determined
International cargo pricing depends on several factors. Understanding them helps you plan and request an accurate quote.

Foon Chaser’s published air freight rates differ between Lagos and Abuja/other Nigerian states.
Origin Location
Pickup availability and logistics arrangements depend on the Canadian origin city.

Air freight is generally faster and weight-sensitive. Ocean freight can be more economical for larger volumes.
Handling & Additional Services
Handling fees, consolidation packs, special packaging and delivery arrangements can affect the final cost.
Customs-Related Costs
Customs duties, taxes and government levies on the Nigerian side are set by the Nigeria Customs Service and are not Foon Chaser charges.
Delivery Arrangement
Final-mile delivery, collection or door-to-door service can influence the total quotation.
