On May 2, 2025, BoxnPick proudly participated as a key speaker in the high-impact webinar hosted by the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), themed “E-commerce as a Catalyst for Trade Facilitation.”
The event brought together top stakeholders, export professionals, and business owners across Nigeria to explore how e-commerce is reshaping international trade.
Representing BoxnPick, the CEO, Gabriella Umeh delivered a powerful presentation on “Export Readiness Through Logistics,” sharing actionable insights on what it takes for Nigerian businesses to succeed in the global marketplace, especially through e-commerce.
The session emphasized the pivotal role logistics plays in accelerating exportation and empowering entrepreneurs to go beyond borders with confidence. BoxnPick’s vision to redefine global trade from Africa stood out, inspiring attendees to think beyond limitations.
BoxnPick’s Strategic Highlights at the NEPC Webinar
Here are key takeaways from the CEO’s session that resonated with many attendees and are vital for any business looking to export through e-commerce:
- Understanding and Leveraging Trade Policy
Many Nigerian exporters overlook the relevance of international trade policies, posing a costly mistake. Trade regulations directly impact what you can sell, where you can sell it, and how to comply with destination country rules. The NEPC offers rich resources and guidance, and BoxnPick encourages all exporters to consult them before going global. BoxnPick’s approach is rooted in proactive compliance, ensuring our clients are always export-ready.
- The Power of Diversification
Exporters should avoid overreliance on a single market. The CEO highlighted the importance of diversifying to countries with lower tariffs and friendlier import policies. With the right logistics partner, exploring new territories becomes less risky and more rewarding. BoxnPick helps exporters tap into non-traditional markets by demystifying customs, trade agreements, and logistics solutions.
- Packaging as a Competitive Advantage
Product packaging isn’t just aesthetics, it is a value addition. Export-ready businesses must consider how well their products are packaged, especially for longevity, shelf-life, and appeal in foreign markets. BoxnPick helps optimize packaging strategies to meet international standards. We treat packaging as a brand storyteller, helping African products compete on global shelves with excellence.
- The Role of Fulfillment Centers
Fulfillment centers are game-changers in e-commerce logistics. BoxnPick’s fulfillment centers in the USA and Abuja, Nigeria, provide seamless shipping, inventory management, and last-mile delivery, ensuring that exporters can deliver on time, even when faced with unforeseen delays. These centers serve as launchpads for African products into global markets.
- Product Standard Compliance is Non-Negotiable
Exporters must adhere to global compliance requirements, including:
- FDA Certification
- Labelling and Packaging regulations like barcodes, Weight, and Quantity Specifications
- High-quality product photography & videography
- Clear and accurate product descriptions
- Additionally, building a strong social media presence is essential for e-commerce visibility and trust, especially in competitive international markets.
BoxnPick’s compliance support is future-focused and designed to help exporters build brands that are respected, not just accepted, globally.
