Step-by-Step Guide: How to Import a Car from the UK to Nigeria

Importing a car from the UK to Nigeria might sound complicated, but with the right guidance, the process is very straightforward. UK cars are highly valued in Nigeria for their durability, fair pricing, and the availability of spare parts. At Xtreme Cars & Motors (based in the UK), we’ve helped many African buyers successfully ship cars to Lagos and other ports. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown to make the process easy to understand.

  1. Mercedes-Benz, and Ford models.
  2. Verify the Dealer/Exporter – Always deal with a registered UK car exporter like Xtreme Cars & Motors to avoid scams.
  3. Get a Quotation – Include the car price, shipping cost, and any other charges (clearing, documentation, etc.).
  4. Payment & Documentation – Once payment is made, the exporter arranges the Bill of Lading, export certificate, and other essential documents.
  5. Shipping & Tracking – Cars are usually shipped via Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) or container. Transit time to Lagos is about 4–6 weeks.
  6. Clearing at Nigerian Port – Import duties, clearing charges, and registration fees apply. Ensure you work with a trusted clearing agent.
  7. Final Delivery – After clearing, you can register your car with FRSC and get your Nigerian plates.
