Frequently Asked Questions
What is the MOQ for African market orders?
MOQ starts at 500 units for perfume oil roll-on, 1,000 units for skincare serums, and 3,000 units for lipstick. We offer lower MOQ for first-time test orders to help you validate the market before committing to larger volumes.
How long does shipping to Nigeria take?
Sea freight from Guangzhou to Lagos: 25-30 days, cost approximately $1,500-3,000 per container. Air freight: 5-7 days, cost approximately $3-5/kg. We recommend sea freight for orders above 5,000 units.
Do you help with NAFDAC registration?
Yes. We provide all documentation required for NAFDAC product registration: COA, MSDS, INCI list, stability reports, microbiological reports, ISO 22716 certificate, and Free Sale Certificate. The registration process in Nigeria typically takes 2-4 months.
Can I order just 50-100 perfume bottles to test the market?
For initial market testing, we offer sample orders of 50-100 units at a slightly higher per-unit price. This allows you to test demand before investing in a full production run. Once you confirm market interest, we transition to standard MOQ pricing.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept T/T (bank transfer: 30% deposit, 70% before shipment), L/C (letter of credit for larger orders), and PayPal for sample orders. Western Union is available for small initial orders under $1,000.
Why choose a Chinese OEM factory for African market?
Guangzhou is the world's cosmetics manufacturing capital. You get: (1) 5-10x lower production cost vs local manufacturing, (2) world-class quality with ISO certification, (3) unlimited formulation options, (4) professional packaging at low cost, (5) direct shipping to African ports. Many successful African beauty brands (like House of Tara, Zaron) manufacture in China.
