Why This Matters Now
As Nigeria increases its non-oil export volume, the trade landscape is shifting dramatically. Government-backed initiatives like NEPC (Nigerian Export Promotion Council) and NEXIM Bank are empowering businesses to enter global export markets with tremendous results. Yet, while Nigerian exports rise, imports into Nigeria from the USA are becoming increasingly difficult due to high tariffs and regulatory barriers.
This imbalance disrupts the flow of international trade. At BoxNPick Global, our goal is to restore that balance. We are an African logistics company and international trade facilitator, helping U.S. businesses export to Nigeria and Nigerian brands reach U.S. markets with full compliance and logistics support.
What is a U.S. Trade House and Why it’s a Game Changer?
A U.S. Trade House is not just a warehouse; it’s a complete export logistics hub. It ensures that Nigerian exporters have local infrastructure to:
- Store Made-in-Nigeria products in the U.S.
- Package and label products for Amazon FBA and Shopify fulfillment
- Comply with FDA, USDA, and CBP regulations
- Access retail-ready solutions for U.S. grocery chains and Afrocentric stores
This means Nigerian brands can now confidently export to the USA without fear of compliance errors, while U.S. companies exporting to Nigeria benefit from structured fulfillment and verified buyer access.
Why U.S. Manufacturers feel Marginalized by Nigeria’s Import Barriers?
Many U.S. manufacturers are frustrated by the Nigerian market due to:
- Exorbitant import duties (up to 70%)
- Changing and unclear customs policies
- Dollar scarcity and FX restrictions
- Corruption and shipping delays
This has led many companies to avoid exporting to Nigeria, despite high market demand. The result? Nigeria misses out on critical technology, raw materials, and packaging components needed to grow exports.
BoxNPick Global’s trade solutions offer an alternative. Our licensed Nigerian operations and U.S. trade house remove risk by offering end-to-end visibility, legal clarity, and trusted buyer relationships.
Why Nigerian Export Growth requires a Strong Import Strategy?
Nigerian exporters depend on imports for key materials:
- Shea butter exporters use U.S.-grade packaging
- Textile businesses require imported dyes and design software
- Agro-exporters need temperature-controlled containers and processing tools
With import bottlenecks, the cost of Nigerian exports rises, timelines are extended, and buyers in the U.S. lose confidence. Supporting structured import trade from the U.S. is essential to sustaining export growth.

The Story that Inspired BoxNPick Global
Our mission was born from watching countless African brands lose global deals due to technical compliance issues. One brand missed a massive Amazon launch over FDA labeling. A U.S. medical supplier lost $50,000 due to clearing delays at Apapa Port.
These experiences revealed one truth: African trade lacks scalable infrastructure. BoxNPick Global exists to be that missing bridge—from compliance to credibility, from ambition to global distribution.
