Inside the guide
Eight chapters, six tools
Every chapter answers a question you actually have to decide on, and hands you something you can use. No theory, no filler.
- 01
Before you buy: is this product worth importing?
Choose products on real Nigerian demand rather than a cheap China price, test before you commit serious money, and work out the profit before you order, not after.

- 02
Find and verify the right supplier
Where to search and when each platform makes sense, how to read a listing properly, how to tell a manufacturer from a trading company, and what online verification can and cannot prove.
- 03
Talk and negotiate with suppliers
The questions to ask before price comes up. What to confirm (specs, MOQ, samples, production time, packaging, dimensions), and how to push without sounding unserious.
Copy-and-paste supplier messages
- 04
Buy from China safely
Find → confirm → buy → China delivery → inspect → ship. How the platforms work when you are buying from Nigeria, how Chinese delivery addresses work, how the money actually moves, and how to check quantity, specification and packaging before anything is loaded.
The China buying workflow
- 05
Ship to Nigeria, and work out landed cost
Air against sea, LCL against FCL, CBM and volumetric weight, China domestic delivery, and the full sum, so you know whether the deal is profitable before you commit to it.

- 06
Avoid the most expensive mistakes
Eleven of them, short and blunt: the cheapest supplier, the unconfirmed specification, the account details that changed at the last minute, the first order that was far too big.
- 07
A real import, step by step
One Nigerian business importing 500 cartons of plastic packaging: research, shortlist, verification, negotiation, sample, order, inspection, shipping, landed cost, profit.
- 08
