How much does it take to import a laptop into Nigeria using a fast delivery courier provider like DHL? Well, it depends on the shipping weight and size of the laptop.
The cost of importing a 5 lbs laptop into Nigeria from the USA through DHL can cost about $83.
Based on my experience when I last imported a laptop using DHL, it costs me almost $90 to bring it to Nigeria and it weighed about 6 lbs(i.e. 2.72kg). It was a Toshiba Satellite laptop that I purchased from Amazon and had it sent to Nigeria with the help of a
US package forwarding company. The cost in Naira was about N14,500 as at 2013 but you can always inquire at a DHL office or from your shipping agent to know what the current rates are.
If you want to save money on importing laptops, you can buy it in bulk and ship them through shipping vessels in containers but those ones take more days before reaching Nigeria and that's why shipping with DHL is a bit better.
Importing laptops with DHL may be a bit expensive but it saves time and they deliver straight to your address.
After I placed and order for the laptop on Amazon and paid with my debit card, I had it sent to my US agent who them forwarded it to me within 5 working days through DHL and they charged me an extra fee for it.
