MINI IMPORTATION AGENTS IN NIGERIA
MINI IMPORTATION AGENTS IN NIGERIA
As the name implies, Mini importation is a form of online business where you buy a product from outside your country at a low price and resell it at a higher price for profit. It’s quite funny that you might even be familiar with this kind of business but do not know how to go about it. I’m sure you have many friends who will upload items such as bags, clothes, shoes, kitchen utensils, etc., on their WhatsApp status for sale and tell you they will be coming in from either Turkey or China.
What they are doing is what is known as mini importation. However, they may be into mini importation, but may not be an agent. Here is what I mean. Your friends can sell imported goods, but they are not directly importing them. They have to attach themselves to an agency or a registered body. Thus, the body your friends are associated with is a mini importation agent. They are also called Shipping and Logistics Company, which helps people ship products from other countries to Nigeria.
It is important that you first understand the difference between mini importation websites and mini importation agents. Mini importation websites are the online platforms where the agents buy from, and they include 1688.com, B & H, AliExpress, Wish, Walmart, taobao.com, Alibaba, Amazon, eBay, among others, while Mini importation agents in Nigeria include:
