Steel export to Nigeria — ports, documents, transit time

West African buyers source roofing (PPGI, aluzinc, trapezoidal sheet), galvanized pipe and hollow sections, checkered plate and angles. SONCAP is compulsory for steel products: we hold product certificates and arrange the shipment certificate with the inspection body before loading. Neutral packing and container seals for onward sale in Ghana, Benin and Togo.
