We inspect and quote

Freight is the number that kills your margin
One 40HQ from Guangzhou to Lagos costs roughly the same whether you put two cars in it or four. Fill it, and the freight per car drops by half. This is why we quote per container, not per car.
Cheapest way to move a single car without waiting for a consolidation. One SUV or pickup also fits, with less room to spare.
The standard dealer load. Four sedans, or three SUVs and pickups, or a mixed load of two plus two with the right packing order.
Buying one car? We consolidate it with other buyers' units. Freight per car is higher, but you do not need a full container's worth of capital.
Indicative Guangzhou → Lagos: 40HQ ≈ USD 2,600–3,400 · 20FT ≈ USD 2,100–2,700 · rates move weekly and are confirmed at booking.

Before you send a deposit
Do I pay before I see the car?
No. You get the photo set, the walkaround video, the VIN photo and the odometer reading first. Only when you approve the unit do we ask for a 30% deposit to take it off the market. The balance is due once the container is loaded and we send the loading photos and the draft bill of lading.
What exactly does "CIF" include?
CIF means cost, insurance and freight — the car delivered to your named port, with marine insurance covered. It does not include import duty, VAT, levies, terminal handling or clearing at destination. Those are paid by you or your agent on arrival.
Can I buy one car, or do I need a full container?
Both work. A single unit ships on a shared container (consolidation) — freight per car is higher but you do not need to fill 40HQ. Dealers usually start with one unit to test us, then move to full containers once they trust the process.
Are the cars left-hand drive?
Yes. Stock sourced in China is left-hand drive, which matches Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Togo, Cameroon and Côte d'Ivoire. For Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda we supply right-hand-drive units from partner stock — tell us the destination and we will only show you cars that can legally enter.
How do I know the mileage is real?
Every unit is cross-checked against its service record and the interior wear on the steering wheel, pedal rubbers and driver's seat. If the numbers do not agree, we drop the car. Odometer fraud is the fastest way to lose a repeat dealer, and repeat dealers are the whole business.
Do you handle clearing at my port?
We work with vetted clearing agents in Lagos, Tema, Cotonou, Lomé and Mombasa and will introduce you directly. You contract and pay them yourself — we take no commission on clearing, so the agent works for you and not for us.
What if the car arrives damaged?
Every load is photographed inside the container before the doors close, with the seal number visible. Marine insurance is included in the CIF price. If damage happens in transit, we file the claim with the carrier and the insurer and follow it until it settles — you do not have to chase a shipping line in another time zone.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer to our company account in China (USD or CNY), or to our Hong Kong entity if that is easier for your bank. We do not accept cash, personal accounts or crypto. Full banking details are on the proforma invoice only — never trust account details sent over WhatsApp without calling to verify.
Tell us the car and the port. We will do the rest.
Send a photo of the model you want, or just the budget and the use case. You will have a CIF price and three real units to choose from within one business day.
