The Export Readiness Checklist

Border Readiness for Nigerian Businesses

Can you legally and profitably move goods across the border?

A free readiness check for Nigerian businesses going global. Earning in dollars is the clearest hedge against a weak naira — but the ports reward paperwork, not enthusiasm. Score yours before you commit to a shipment.

How to use it

Tick every item that is genuinely true for your business today — be honest, a flattering score helps no one. Your score and gaps update live in the panel beside you.

Tick what's true now Must-have — counts double · Everything else — good to have

Where to focus next

Sequence it: lock down CAC → NEPC → bank and dom account, then product certification and the correct HS code, then the per-shipment documents once you have a confirmed buyer.

Tuned to Nigeria’s formal export process (NEPC, CBN/NXP, SON, NAFDAC, Customs). Requirements vary by product and destination and can change — treat this as a readiness map, not legal or trade advice, and confirm current rules with the relevant agency.
