What sells in Nigeria
The small-displacement Toyota petrol family is the volume driver: Corolla and Probox platforms dominate commercial and private use, and the replacement market for them is constant. Korean engines have grown fast behind them as Hyundai and Kia took share in the parc.
Higher up the range, 2TR and diesel Isuzu units serve the pickup and light-truck trade, where a workshop will pay considerably more for a Grade A engine with a warranty behind it.
How buyers here usually start
A first container is normally a 20-ft mixed load: mostly Grade A and B in the volume families, with a small number of high-margin units to test what the counter will bear. Once the sell-through is known, the second container is built around what actually moved.
We quote the grade split in writing before payment and each engine carries a serial that ties back to the photos you were quoted from, so what arrives can be checked against what was sold.
Documentation for the lane
We ship with commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, under HS headings 8407 and 8408. Nigerian imports commonly require SONCAP conformity documentation, and requirements change — confirm the current position with your clearing agent before the container sails, and we will prepare the paperwork to match.
