Exporting Sheep’s Hides and Skin From Nigeria: The Practical Steps You Must Take To Succeed In The Business
In our previous article on export of sheep’s skin, we introduced the business to our members, but in this article we are going to look at the nitty-gritty of the practical export procedures you will need to take in order to succeed.
The process of preparing and exporting sheep’s skin requires a good deal of time and a lot of planning. You can’t start thinking of engaging in the export of such a special product without having a top notch plan of action; a typical one is having a buyer overseas or a good local representative of the buyer in Nigeria like our company.
You have to find a buyer in the country you’re exporting to, find a freight forwarding company that will forward the hides from your port to the buyer’s destination, and find a ship to transport the hides. You must take your time to make all these preparations.
If you’re shipping from Nigeria to the US, for example, the average cost for shipping is $2,500. That is if you are taking the full 20 footer container. That doesn’t include any customs duty your buyer pays in the US when the consignment arrives.
How can you export from Nigeria?
Exporting your sheep’s skin from Nigeria is not too complicated. You need to identify the skin as an animal product in order to export it out of the country. You also need to identify the skin as textile material to export it out of the country. All these depend on the angle you are coming from. That is why you must be patient and understand all the nitty-gritty of export of this commodity before starting proper operations.
A lot of Nigerian people don’t know that they can’t just export any type of skin. For example, if you want to export tanned sheep hides from Nigeria to other countries, you need to classify it as textile material. This classification is made by checking the status of the skin according to Nigerian laws.
