Nigeria is Africa's largest steel importer: construction in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt runs on imported sections, plates and roofing coil. We ship H beams, plates, angles and GI/PPGI coil to Apapa, Tin Can and Onne on FOB terms — trial orders from 5 tons, mixed sizes in one container, EN 10204 3.1 MTC with every order, and the full document set your bank and agent need for Form M. Sea freight runs about 28–40 days. Send your size list for a FOB quote in 24 hours.
Nigerian importers care about three things: landed cost in USD per ton that beats local distributors, a document set their bank accepts for Form M without queries, and a loading plan that survives a 30+ day ocean leg. Here is exactly how a Nikasteel order to Nigeria works.
Popular Products & Grades for Nigerian Buyers
| Application | Typical products | Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Construction & fabrication (Lagos, Abuja) | H beams 200–400, angles, channels | A36, SS400, Q235B |
| Machinery bases & marine work | Plates 8–60 mm, cut-to-size | A36, A572 Gr.50, Q355B |
| Roofing & cladding | GI coil, PPGI corrugated sheets | SGCC, DX51D+Z, AZ galvalume |
| Oil & gas support structures | Plates, pipes, sections | A572 Gr.50, Q355B |
Drawings in Nigeria usually carry ASTM or JIS designations; both map cleanly across standards (A36 ≈ SS400 ≈ Q235B; A572 Gr.50 ≈ SM490 ≈ Q355B). The full cross-reference is in our grade equivalents guide, and the supplied grade is certified on the EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate. See also the wider Africa supply page.
Shipping: Lagos (Apapa / Tin Can) & Onne
- Sea freight (via your forwarder): about 28–40 days from South China to Lagos, often transshipping Singapore or Durban; Onne serves eastern Nigeria with similar transit — schedules confirmed per sailing
- Customs: Form M raised by your bank before shipment; PAAR rating and SONCAP conformity handled by your agent — send us your HS code and we match the document set before you order
- Documents: B/L, commercial invoice, packing list, EN 10204 3.1 MTC, certificate of origin — export set couriered as originals
Order Process for Nigerian Buyers
- Send your size list or drawing by WhatsApp or email
- FOB quote within 24 hours — price locked 7 days
- 50% T/T deposit → production (stocked sizes ship in 7–15 days)
- Loading with photos/videos + SGS/BV inspection on request — recommended on first orders
- Balance before shipment → originals by courier for your Form M file
Trial order, low risk
Start with 5 tons mixed in one container — several sizes, even several categories (beam + plate + GI coil), so you can verify quality, packing and documents before scaling up.
Why Nigerian buyers choose Nikasteel
Mill-direct USD pricing from Tangshan & Maanshan groups, EN 10204 3.1 certificates that clear Form M queries, marine-standard packing for long ocean legs, and one English-speaking contact from quote to B/L.
