A practical guide for preparing, packaging, and shipping food items from Nigeria to customers and family abroad.
Start With Product Eligibility
Before exporting food, confirm the product is accepted in the destination country and not restricted by customs rules.
Dry goods and packaged items are usually easier to process than fresh or perishable products.
Prepare Your Packaging
Use sealed inner packaging, strong outer cartons, and clear labels with product description and net weight.
Add moisture protection and extra padding for fragile containers.
