Send family parcels from the UK to Nigeria
For Nigerian relatives in the UK, a family parcel might bring a new baby's clothes, a book chosen for a sibling or an outfit for a celebration. These examples illustrate personal parcels, not measured demand or shipment history.
A UK purchase receipt can help explain what an item is and its value when preparing for Nigeria. Keep an itemized description alongside photos, and discuss any fragile packaging with the traveler before arranging collection.
Customs and prohibited items for Nigeria
Duties or limits may apply to UK parcels on arrival in Nigeria. The sender must declare contents. Consult the Nigeria Customs Service for current requirements; weapons, drugs, hazardous goods, cash and anything banned by the airline or destination customs are prohibited.
