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 the FCEL Turkey exchange rate — not the Nigerian black-market rate. As a result, importers can accurately budget their landed cost before sending a single Turkish lira.
FCEL Air Freight: Turkey to Lagos
Last updated: 20 January 2026Air freight is the fastest mode for cargo from Turkey to Lagos. Rates are quoted per kg with separate customs clearing fees in Nigerian Naira. The minimum chargeable weight for the standard rate is 20KG.
Chargeable Weight: Kindly note that FCEL pricing is based on the higher of either actual weight or volumetric weight (dimensions), in line with standard air freight charging practices. Bulky but lightweight items like pillows or packed clothing may be charged by volume.
Air Freight — 20KG and Above
For cargo of 20KG or more, FCEL offers two pricing tiers based on final delivery location.
| Destination | Rate (per kg) | Customs Clearing (per kg) | Minimum Weight | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇳🇬 Lagos Standard air delivery to Lagos |
USD 7.50 | ₦1,650 | 20 KG | 5–7 working days |
| 🇳🇬 Other States Inland delivery outside Lagos |
USD 8.50 | — | 20 KG | 5–7 working days |
20KG+ example to Other States: 30 KG shipment = (30 × $8.50) = USD 255.
Air Freight — Below 20KG
For smaller parcels under 20KG, FCEL offers two rate brackets with higher per-kg pricing.
| Destination | Rate (per kg) | Customs Clearing (per kg) | Transit Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇳🇬 Lagos Below 20KG to Lagos |
USD 11.89 | ₦2,500 | 5–7 working days |
| 🇳🇬 Other States Below 20KG to Other States |
USD 13.50 | — | 5–7 working days |
Below 20KG example to Other States: 10 KG parcel = (10 × $13.50) = USD 135.
⏱️ Delivery Time
All air freight from Turkey to Nigeria takes 5 to 7 working days door-to-door. This includes Turkey export clearance, flight transit, Nigerian customs clearance, and final delivery to your specified city.
Choosing the right weight bracket is one of the most common mistakes importers make. Specifically, a 19KG parcel at the Below 20KG rate ($11.89/kg to Lagos) costs USD 225.91, while a 20KG parcel at the 20KG+ rate ($7.50/kg) costs USD 150 — a saving of USD 75.91. The moment your parcel hits 20KG, switch to the 20KG+ bracket for instant savings.

FCEL Sea Shipping: Turkey to Lagos 🇹🇷➡️🇳🇬
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 clearing included. Transit time is 60 to 70 days door-to-door.
| Component | Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 🚢 Sea Freight | USD 250 | per CBM |
| 🛃 Customs Clearing | ₦380,000 | per CBM |
| ⏱ Transit Time | 60–70 Days | Door-to-door |
2 CBM shipment = (2 × $250) + (2 × ₦380,000) = USD 500 + ₦760,000 clearing
4 CBM shipment = (4 × $250) + (4 × ₦380,000) = USD 1,000 + ₦1,520,000 clearing
10 CBM shipment = (10 × $250) + (10 × ₦380,000) = USD 2,500 + ₦3,800,000 clearing
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, 5 cartons measuring 0.6m × 0.4m × 0.3m = 5 × 0.072 = 0.36 CBM. Send Foon Chaser Express your dimensions and we will calculate the total CBM for you.
Note: Items such as furniture, clothing, and similar goods may attract additional charges from Customs during clearing. These surcharges are assessed by Nigeria Customs Service and depend on the HS code, declared value, and current duty rates.
Sea shipping is consistently 70-85% cheaper than air cargo per kg. For commercial imports above 150 kg or bulky items from Turkey, sea shipping is the standard mode of choice. The FCEL sea rate includes customs clearing — no separate Nigerian clearing fee applies, although government duties and VAT remain the customer’s responsibility.

FCEL in Action: How a Lagos Fashion Retailer Streamlined Turkey Sourcing
Challenge: A Lagos fashion retailer was sourcing fabric samples from Istanbul for client approvals plus bulk clothing orders. The previous agent quoted USD 1,800 for the combined shipment and added 2 surprise charges on arrival. Bulk sea cargo was consistently delayed by 4 to 6 weeks, causing stockouts during peak season.
Solution: The client switched to FCEL. The 50 KG samples shipped by air at the 20KG+ Lagos rate (50 × $7.50 = $375 + 50 × ₦1,650 = ₦82,500 clearing). The 6 CBM of bulk clothing shipped by sea (6 × $250 + 6 × ₦380,000 = $1,500 + ₦2,280,000 clearing). Total FCEL cost: USD 1,875 + ₦2,362,500 clearing. The bulk clothing’s weight-to-volume ratio was optimised and the additional customs charges for clothing were pre-calculated by FCEL before shipping.
Outcome: The 50 KG samples cleared MMIA in 3 days. The 6 CBM of bulk clothing cleared Apapa Port in 5 days after the PAAR was pre-filed. Total transit was 6 days for samples and 65 days for bulk — exactly as quoted. The client now uses FCEL monthly and saves approximately 28% versus their previous agent by splitting air and sea modes strategically.
What Nigerian Importers Say About FCEL Turkey Services
Real feedback from importers using the FCEL Turkey rate card.
“The 5-7 day air delivery from Turkey is a game changer for my fabric samples. Used to take 2 weeks with my previous agent. The $7.50/kg rate is the most transparent pricing I’ve found.”
“I switched from a Lagos-only broker to Foon Chaser Express 6 months ago. Same Turkish factory, same products — but my bulk clothing now arrives in 65 days consistently instead of 70-90 days. The PAAR pre-filing makes a huge difference.”
“As a first-time importer, I was worried about the restricted items policy. FCEL walked me through it and helped me restructure my shipment to comply with air freight rules. Excellent service.”

How is CBM calculated for sea cargo from Turkey?
CBM (Cubic Metre) is the volume measurement unit for sea freight. 1 CBM = a box measuring 1m × 1m × 1m. To calculate: Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m) per carton, then multiply by number of cartons. The total CBM is then multiplied by the FCEL sea rate of USD 250 per CBM.
Do I need to book before sending cargo from Turkey?
Yes. Customers must complete the online booking form at dechaser.com/book-shipment before proceeding with any shipment. This is mandatory and registers the cargo with Foon Chaser Express.

Get My FCEL Turkey Rate TodayConcerns Nigerian Importers Have About Turkey Cargo — Answered
“Turkey to Lagos shipping is too expensive.”
Sea shipping is consistently 70-85% cheaper than air cargo per kg. The FCEL sea shipping rate of USD 250 per CBM is highly competitive for bulky cargo. Moreover, the $7.50/kg air rate for 20KG+ to Lagos is the most economical for urgent shipments. If total shipping costs feel high, FCEL analyses your cargo mix and recommends the optimal mode split.
“Why are electronics and batteries restricted from air?”
Liquids, batteries, computers, and electronic devices are classified as restricted cargo for air freight due to IATA dangerous goods regulations and Nigerian customs requirements. These items pose safety risks in air transit and require special documentation. The FCEL sea shipping service handles most of these items at USD 250 per CBM.
“What if customs delays my cargo?”
The FCEL Lagos team pre-files the PAAR with Nigeria Customs Service, monitors your cargo through customs, and actively resolves any holds. Items such as furniture and clothing may attract additional charges during clearing, which FCEL will advise on in advance. Most FCEL shipments clear MMIA in 3-5 days and Apapa in 5-7 days.
“How do I avoid being scammed by a fake Turkey-to-Nigeria agent?”
FCEL is fully verifiable. We operate from a registered Turkey warehouse and a Lagos office. The rate card is published publicly in USD. We provide documented contracts, structured payment terms, and verifiable references from established Nigerian importers.
