Questions answered

Shipping to Kano Airport (KAN) — FAQs

How long does shipping from the UK to Kano (KAN) take? −
By air freight: 5-10 working days from UK door collection to Kano Malam Aminu Kano International Airport cargo warehouse. Sea freight via Lagos (LOS) then road — no direct Kano sea route. Transit times run from the date of UK collection and exclude UK and Nigeria public holidays.
Does the sender and receiver have to be the same person? +
Yes — for personal effects classification, the sender in the UK and the receiver at Kano must be the same person. This is a Nigeria customs requirement. A different receiver will cause customs to reclassify the shipment, potentially attracting full commercial import duties.
Are destination charges included in my UK quote? +
No. Your UK quote covers collection from your door, export documentation and air freight to Kano KAN. Destination charges — airport handling, government inspection fees, storage fees and any import duties — are levied by Nigeria authorities and payable by the receiver at the Kano cargo warehouse. We advise on known destination charges for KAN at the time of booking.
What is the booking deposit? +
All bookings require a £75.00 non-refundable deposit to secure your UK collection date. This is offset against your total shipping charge at invoice — it is not an additional fee.
Can I ship electronics to Kano? +
Most personal electronics are accepted on standard air freight to Kano. Lithium batteries are not accepted on any service worldwide. Declare all devices with make, model and accurate declared value. Destination customs at KAN may levy duties on electronics — declare accurately and do not understate values.
