You own the customer relationship. Valuehandlers provides the International freight Infrastructure.
Do you have a customer in Nigeria who needs to import cargo from the Asia, Europe, USA / North America, the Middle East or another global market, but your company does not have the international forwarding network required to execute the shipment?
You may already have the customer relationship.
You may have the customs clearance capability.
You may have trucks, warehouses and destination-side operations.
But when the customer asks:
“Can you move my cargo from China to Nigeria?”
or:
“Can you arrange the shipment from the USA to Lagos?”
your ability to deliver depends on the strength of your international freight forwarding network.
This is where Valuehandlers International can become your international freight forwarding partner.
We provide port-to-port and airport-to-airport freight forwarding services to Nigeria for freight forwarders, customs clearing agents, logistics companies and other B2B logistics professionals who need dependable international shipping capacity.
You manage the customer and destination. We manage the international freight.
The Challenge Facing Many Freight Forwarders in Nigeria and Africa
A freight forwarding company does not necessarily need to own warehouses, offices, trucks and agents in every country where its customers purchase goods.
However, it does need access to reliable international logistics partners.
This is particularly important for Nigerian and African freight forwarders serving customers who source from:
- North America & United States
- Asia & China
- United Kingdom
- Africa & SA
- Europe
- United Arab Emirates
- Other international markets, including from Nigeria to international ports
Your customer may expect you to handle the entire shipment.
But you may not have:
- An overseas office
- Reliable origin agents
- Direct carrier relationships
- Consolidation facilities
- Supplier pickup capability
- Competitive international freight rates
- Operational personnel at the origin
- Experience with a particular trade lane
Building all of this independently is expensive and time-consuming.
A strong international freight forwarding partnership can close that capability gap.
What Is Port-to-Port Freight Forwarding?
Port-to-port freight forwarding is a transportation arrangement focused on moving cargo from an agreed origin port or airport to a designated Nigerian or African port or airport.
The international freight forwarder manages the transportation component while the destination-side partner can take responsibility for the agreed Nigerian / African services.
For example:
Supplier → Origin Handling → Origin Port/Airport → International Freight → Nigerian Port/Airport
At the agreed destination point, your organisation can take over:
- Customs clearance
- Customs documentation
- Port operations
- Local haulage
- Warehousing
- Final delivery
This model is particularly suitable for freight forwarders and customs agents who already have strong Nigerian destination capabilities but require an international partner to execute the overseas freight leg.
You Don’t Need to Build a Global Network to Serve Global Customers
One of the biggest advantages of partnering with an established international freight forwarder is the ability to extend your service coverage without building infrastructure in every country.
Instead of establishing separate forwarding relationships every time your customer purchases from a new country, you can work with a structured international partner.
This can allow your company to respond to enquiries such as:
“My supplier is in Shanghai.”
“The equipment is coming from Houston.”
“My machinery is ready in Rotterdam.”
“The spare parts are in Birmingham.”
“The manufacturer is in Dubai.”
Your answer can remain:
“We can arrange the international shipment to Nigeria.”
Because your international forwarding partner is behind the shipment.
Who Should Use This Service?
1. Customs Clearing Agents
If your core strength is Nigerian customs clearance, port operations and delivery, Valuehandlers can provide the international freight component.
You retain your destination-side role while we coordinate the movement of the cargo from the international origin.
2. Freight Forwarders Without Global Coverage
You may already be an established freight forwarder in Nigeria but lack reliable partners in specific countries.
Rather than reject the shipment, you can extend your service capability through Valuehandlers. We don’t keep or add your customer’s details with our marketing desk.
3. African Freight Forwarders
Freight forwarders across Africa can use international forwarding partnerships to serve customers sourcing goods from markets outside their immediate network. A reliable international partner can become an extension of your operations.
4. Logistics Companies
Companies specialising in customs, haulage, warehousing, distribution or domestic logistics can add international freight forwarding capability without immediately building their own overseas infrastructure.
5. Procurement & Trading Companies
Businesses managing procurement for clients can also benefit from an international freight partner capable of coordinating cargo from suppliers to Nigeria.
5. Businesses & Manufacturing Companies
Businesses with dedicated customs service manager / department can also benefit from an international freight partner capable of coordinating cargo from suppliers to Nigeria. Your cargo arrives Nigeria / Africa, and your customs department take it up for clearance.

Your Customer Relationship Remains Yours
This is one of the most important aspects of our B2B forwarding proposition.
When you introduce a shipment to an international partner like Valuehandlers, you need confidence that the relationship will be handled professionally.
Valuehandlers understands that your customer relationship is an important commercial asset.
Our objective is to complement your operation—not unnecessarily compete with it.
The partnership can therefore be structured around clearly defined responsibilities.
Your organization can manage:
- Customer relationship
- Destination customs clearance
- Nigerian port operations
- Local transportation
- Warehousing
- Final delivery
Valuehandlers can manage:
- International origin coordination
- Freight booking
- Overseas forwarding
- Air or ocean transportation
- International shipment documentation
- Agreed port/airport delivery
The exact scope depends on the commercial arrangement and shipment requirements.
Example: How the Partnership Works
Imagine a customs clearing company e.g “Trans Delivery Enterprises” in Lagos has a client importing industrial machinery from Germany.
The clearing company has:
- The customer
- Customs expertise
- Port operations capability
- Local trucking
But it does not have a reliable German forwarding partner.
The clearing company sends the shipment requirement to Valuehandlers.
Valuehandlers coordinates:
Germany
Supplier → Cargo Pickup → Origin Handling → Export → Ocean Freight
Nigeria
Cargo → Nigerian Port → Handover
The Nigerian Partner continues:
Customs Clearance → Port Operations → Haulage → Customer Delivery
The result is a complete logistics solution without either company having to duplicate the other’s capabilities.
Air Freight Port-to-Port
Not every international shipment requires ocean transportation.
Some customers need urgent delivery of:
- Production-line spare parts
- Medical equipment
- Electronics
- Industrial components
- Samples
- Replacement parts
- Time-sensitive commercial goods
For these shipments, Valuehandlers can coordinate international air freight to the agreed Nigerian airport.
The destination-side partner can then take over the agreed customs and delivery processes.
Ocean Freight Port-to-Port
For larger commercial and industrial shipments, ocean freight is often the more appropriate transportation option.
We can coordinate:
FCL
for customers with sufficient cargo volume for a dedicated container.
LCL / Groupage
for customers whose cargo does not require an entire container.
Special Cargo
for certain oversized, heavy or project shipments subject to technical assessment and carrier acceptance.
The appropriate solution depends on cargo dimensions, weight, commodity, origin, destination, urgency and available service.
Cargo Types We Can Support
Our international forwarding capability covers a broad range of cargo, subject to applicable carrier and regulatory requirements.
Examples include:
- General merchandise
- Industrial machinery
- Manufacturing equipment
- Raw materials
- Spare parts
- Construction equipment
- Mining equipment
- Oil & Gas equipment
- Automotive parts
- Vehicles
- Agricultural equipment
- Electrical equipment
- Medical equipment
- Commercial goods
- Project cargo
- Dangerous goods and regulated cargo, subject to prior assessment
For specialized cargo, accurate specifications and documentation should be provided before booking.
Why International Freight Partnerships Matter
The global logistics industry is increasingly interconnected.
A freight forwarder in Lagos may serve a customer purchasing from Shanghai.
A customs agent in Abuja may have a client importing machinery from Germany.
A logistics company in Ghana may support a customer buying equipment from Houston.
The customer sees one supply chain.
Behind that supply chain may be several specialised logistics companies.
The strength of the overall service depends on how effectively those companies work together.
That is why strategic freight-forwarding partnerships are becoming increasingly important.
What Makes a Good International Freight Partner?
Before partnering with an international freight forwarder, assess:

Carrier Access

Responsiveness
How quickly can they respond when something goes wrong?
