It took missing this opportunity to understand this lesson when it comes to Importation.
I assumed since they ship, they can ship anything naw🥲 only to learn the hard way.
One major thing to find out while choosing your shipping agent is to ask what they can and cannot ship to your country.
Some shipping agents don't ship battery goods, skincare products, cream etc so ask even before you start negotiating with suppliers.
I shared this and many more in my free book, Beginner's Guide to China, Bangladesh and Turkey Importation. You can get it for free via link in bio
I hope this helps you.

This has been the major concerns of many who want to go into importation asking ma 'Why is the cost for shipping more than the cost for buying products itself?🤧😭
And here is my answer👇
Shipping fee is calculated in dollars, and especially you're in Nigeria, you'd know that the price depends on our exchange rate (not official rate o👀, we have addressed that severally).
The higher the exchange rate, the higher you pay as shipping but this is what you can do:
1. Be calculative and select your shipping method wisely. Use sea shipping if you can wait, you pay way less than if its air shipping you use. Emphasis on if you can wait tho.
2. If you're into preorder, make sure to do your calculations veryyyy well.
3. If you do your calculations and see it is higher than usual, probably get a wholesaler who import in containers in your country for a start.
All these are very important and is why you need the right knowledge and guide if you're starting importation.
