Can I import a right-hand drive car from China to Nigeria?
Nigeria drives on the right, so left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles from China are suitable. Most Chinese manufacturers produce LHD vehicles as standard. For special cases, some brands offer RHD variants for markets like South Africa and the UK.
What is the age limit for importing cars to Nigeria?
Nigeria restricts imports of used vehicles to those under 10–12 years old (exact limit varies by policy). Always verify the current age restriction before purchasing. DriveSino primarily exports relatively new vehicles (2018 or newer), so age restrictions rarely apply.
How do I pay for a car imported from China to Nigeria?
DriveSino accepts payment via international bank transfer (T/T). A formal sales contract is provided before any payment. Credit cards and PayPal are not accepted for vehicle purchases due to transaction values. For B2B bulk orders, alternative payment terms can be discussed.
Can I import Chinese cars to Nigeria?
Yes. Nigerian buyers most commonly import Haval H6 and Jolion SUVs, Geely Monjaro and Coolray, Changan CS35 and CS75, GWM Poer pickups, and the BYD Atto 3 EV. DriveSino sources, inspects, and exports all of these directly from China's domestic market, for both individual buyers and dealers importing multiple vehicles.
How do I import Chinese cars to Nigeria?
Importing a Chinese car to Nigeria takes five steps: (1) choose your vehicle — DriveSino sources and inspects Chinese brands like BYD, Chery, Geely, Haval, and MG; (2) we prepare export documentation (Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice); (3) the vehicle ships by RoRo or container to Lagos (Apapa), Tin Can Island, or Onne (Port Harcourt); (4) you or your customs agent clear the vehicle through the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS); (5) local registration and compliance requirements are completed.
