The Houston freight forwarder Nigeria shippers have trusted for 18 years.
From Houston, Dallas, or anywhere in the USA to Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Abuja — SGK Global has moved everything from oil rigs and BOPs to family barrels and household goods. Time-critical by air. Big and bulky by ocean. One team, start to finish.
Big or small, urgent or unhurried — we've shipped it to Nigeria.
SGK Global built its reputation on the shipments other forwarders turn away. Since 2008, our Houston team has handled the full spectrum of USA-to-Nigeria cargo — commercial, industrial, and personal — for clients who needed it done right the first time.
Oilfield & Rig Equipment
Barges, oil rigs, BOPs, wellheads, valves, and pipe — moved from Houston's energy corridor to Nigeria's oil and gas hubs.
Heavy & Earth-Moving Machinery
Cranes, excavators, earth movers, and industrial equipment, engineered and documented for safe ocean transit.
Trucks, Trailers & Automobiles
Commercial trucks and trailers alongside personal cars — RoRo or containerized, our call based on the vehicle.
Household Goods & Personal Effects
Relocations, barrels, and family shipments handled with the same discipline as our industrial freight.
Air Freight — Time-Critical
When the shipment can't wait, we fly it. The go-to choice for urgent parts, documents, and high-value cargo.
Ocean Freight — Bulk & Oversized
FCL, LCL, RoRo, and breakbulk for cargo that's big, heavy, or simply not in a hurry.
What we've actually shipped to Nigeria
Not a marketing list — this is the range of cargo that has moved through our Houston warehouse and onto vessels and aircraft bound for Nigeria.
Four gateway cities, one accountable team.
Whether your cargo is landing at a port or an airport, SGK Global's in-house Lagos team and established Nigerian carrier relationships carry it the rest of the way — door to door.
Our in-house hub — the center of our Nigerian operations.
Houston-to-Port Harcourt is a lane we've run for oilfield clients for years.
Regional delivery into the Delta for project and personal cargo alike.
Inland delivery coordinated from our Lagos hub and air gateway network.
We control both ends of the move.
Most forwarders hand your cargo off to a partner the moment it leaves their sight. SGK Global built its own networks on both sides of the Atlantic so one team stays accountable the whole way.

Shipping to Nigeria, answered.
What is the best way to ship from Houston or the USA to Nigeria?
It depends on your cargo and timeline. Air freight is the go-to choice for time-sensitive shipments — documents, parts, high-value goods. Ocean freight (FCL, LCL, RoRo, or breakbulk) is the better fit for large, heavy, or less urgent cargo. SGK Global runs both from Houston and can advise which mode fits your shipment. Contact us for a quote tailored to your cargo.
Can SGK Global ship oil rigs, BOPs, wellheads, or other oilfield equipment to Nigeria?
Yes. This is one of our core specialties. Since 2008 we've shipped barges, oil rigs, BOPs, wellheads, valves, pipe, and other oilfield equipment from Houston to Nigeria's oil and gas hubs, including Port Harcourt. Contact us for a quote specific to your equipment.
Does SGK Global ship personal items and household goods to Nigeria?
Yes. Alongside our commercial and project cargo work, we regularly ship household goods, personal effects, and family barrels from anywhere in the USA to Lagos, Port Harcourt, Warri, and Abuja, with the same door-delivery network we use for larger shipments.
Can I ship a car or truck from the USA to Nigeria with SGK Global?
Yes. We ship automobiles, trucks, and trailers to Nigeria by RoRo or container, depending on the vehicle and your preference. Contact us for a quote and we'll walk you through the best option for your vehicle.
Does SGK Global have people on the ground in Nigeria?
Yes. We operate an in-house hub in Lagos that handles our Nigerian operations directly, backed by established courier and carrier relationships built over years for reliable last-mile door delivery — not a third party we hand your cargo to and hope for the best.
What Nigerian customs documents do I need to import goods?
Depending on your cargo, this typically includes Form M, a SONCAP certificate for regulated products, PAAR, and correct tariff classification. SGK Global handles this documentation and clearance process in-house, on both the US export and Nigerian import side.
Is SGK Global licensed to handle ocean and air freight to Nigeria?
Yes. SGK Global is a Federal Maritime Commission (FMC)-licensed NVOCC and an IATA-accredited cargo agent, meaning we're regulated and credentialed to handle both ocean and air freight from the USA to Nigeria.
Do you ship from Dallas or other parts of Texas, not just Houston?
Yes. Our Houston warehouse is the hub, but we coordinate pickup from Dallas, anywhere else in Texas, and anywhere in the USA through our own trucking assets and carrier network. Contact us and we'll arrange pickup from your location.
