Clearly labelled illustrative calculation. Additional item-specific or shipment-specific charges may apply.
50 CAD Handling Fee

Shipping E-Commerce Purchases from Canada to Nigeria
Foon Chaser Express warehouse requirement. When customers purchase gadgets and other items online, the customer should obtain the invoice or receipt for payment because the transaction is considered E-commerce.
Before Foon Chaser can receive such item(s) at its warehouse, the customer must provide:
- A copy of the invoice or receipt for the item
- A copy of the ID data page of an International Passport
Do not upload identity documents through unsecured channels. Submit documents only through Foon Chaser’s approved secure process.
This is a Foon Chaser company/warehouse requirement, not a representation of any specific Canadian or Nigerian government rule. Importers remain responsible for any duties, taxes, and customs requirements that apply to their shipment on arrival in Nigeria.
Gadget Extra Charges (Foon Chaser Express)
The following Foon Chaser extra charges apply to gadgets, in addition to the standard air freight rate and 50 CAD handling fee.
Foon Chaser Consolidation Packs
Package consolidation combines multiple items or purchases into a single shipment. Customers with multiple packages can ask Foon Chaser whether their goods are suitable for consolidation.
Consolidation can offer fewer separate packages, easier shipment management, and potential packaging and shipping-cost efficiency. Consolidation does not always reduce cost — the per-KG air freight rate, the 50 CAD handling fee, and any applicable item-specific charges still apply on top of the pack price.
Is Air Freight or Ocean Freight Cheaper?
Ocean freight can be more economical for larger or heavier shipments, while air freight generally provides faster transportation but can cost more per unit of weight. The better option depends on cargo size, urgency, destination, routing and the complete shipment quotation.
| Factor | Air Freight | Ocean Freight |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Generally faster | Generally slower |
| Smaller shipments | Often suitable | May be less practical |
| Large shipments | May be less economical | Often suitable |
| Bulky cargo | Depends on cargo | Often suitable |
| Urgent cargo | Strong option | Less suitable |
| Pricing | Published Foon Chaser air rates available | Shipment-specific quote |
Choose Air Freight When:
- Speed matters
- Shipment is relatively small
- Cargo is time-sensitive
- E-commerce delivery is important
- You want faster transportation
Consider Ocean Freight When:
- Cargo is large
- Cargo is bulky
- Cargo is heavy
- Speed is less important
- Container/LCL shipping is appropriate
