Frequently Asked Questions

We work with SON-approved Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) agents. Kymon coordinates the CISS inspection before shipment and ensures your Combined Certificate of Value and Origin (CCVO) is correctly issued.
What Incoterms are most suitable for Nigeria imports?
FOB or CIF are most commonly used for Nigeria. We recommend CIF Lagos (Apapa Port) for full-service clients โ€” we handle freight, insurance, and provide all documents needed for Nigerian customs clearance.
How long does sea freight from China to Lagos take?
Transit time to Apapa Port is typically 28โ€“35 days from Chinese export ports. We recommend allowing 45 days total from PO confirmation to port arrival to account for production and vessel scheduling.
