SHIPPING FROM NIGERIA TO THE UNITED STATES

The USA is the world’s top economy and largest market, and she does a lot of business with the rest of the world.

In 2018 alone, the US spent more than $2.6 trillion on imports from over 200 countries. America buys everything big and small – from machines and mineral oils to food products and pharmaceuticals.

Despite this huge and lucrative trade opportunity and a large African diaspora community in the States, Africa’s sales to the US only made up 1.4% of America’s total imports in 2018.

Besides raw goods and minerals, Africa and Nigeria, in particular, has a significant potential to boost its trade through export from Nigeria to the USA particularly in promising categories like food and fabrics.

In recent times, unique export products from Nigeria such as local foodstuffs, fabrics and spices have become promising business opportunities on the international market and these types of products present unique opportunities for entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

COMMONLY EXPORTED PRODUCTS FROM NIGERIA TO THE U.S

• Ginger
  Ginger is one of the most traded spices in the world which Nigeria happens to be among the largest producers. Why we are not exporting ginger in large quantity is beyond me. You can start a business with this product and be making dollars on regular basis. Garlic is also on top of the list of items you can export from Nigeria to the US at cheap price
• Textiles and Garments
  This industry alone generates close to $32bn as revenue from export from Nigeria. It is also a fact that unlike other products that battles with high strict rules of tests, Nigeria’s textiles enjoy duty free passage into United States where it has the largest market in the world because of its unique designs, ethnic African designs and quality.
• Cocoa Butter
  This is the real sources of chocolates of all types. The fruits of Cocoa is used for the production of various skin care products, health products, and pharmaceutical products. The demand for Cocoa is very high in both America and UK and that is why cocoa farming is very essential in Nigeria. Export of this product from Nigeria to the USA would fetch you good money
• Gallstone
  This is a clay-like solid substance gotten from the gallbladder of matured cow and oxen. The size could be as big as chicken egg. Gallstone is a hotcake for foreign pharmaceuticals because they use it for medical purposes. If you could lay your hand a good quantity of well dried gallstone about 100g that is well packaged, ready buyers are waiting for it in America.
• Rubber
  Nigeria has put in place proper Central Testing Laboratories to ensure that only certified export products leave Nigeria to America. Nigeria happens to be a significant producer of Rubber in Africa. A cubit meter of fine quality rubber goes for between $400 and $600 presently because of the instability of dollar rate in the market.
• Sesame Seed
  This may sound a bit strange if you are not from the area where it is produced in the country. Sesame seed can be found in quantity in places like Benue and Jigawa states in Nigeria. This product ranks second to cocoa in terms of export volume and foreign exchange earnings. Nigeria is the 5th largest producer of this commodity and shipping it into foreign countries like the US brings dollars to exchange.

• Yam Flour
  Nigeria is presently the highest producers of yam. In 2009 alone, yam export accounted for about US$450 million exchange. But due to low quality, it is saddening to know that the country is not maximizing its export potentials of this products. So there is need for prospective exporters of yam to foreign countries to adhere to quality regulations that is guarding the process. Yam farmers must take this into consideration and tap from this opportunity.
• Charcoal
  This is at the fore front in the international market. This product which is produced in good quantity in Nigeria with now perfected technology, has about 50% ROI. Even an individual can own a charcoal production outfit and have exporters shipping it for him. A large market for charcoal exists in USA. A tone of this product goes for about $1000.
