Form M explained: importing from China to Nigeria

What Form M is, when you need it, and how to avoid delays at Apapa.

← All resources

Form M is a mandatory Central Bank of Nigeria document for all imports. It must be opened through an authorised dealer bank before goods ship. Delays in opening Form M are one of the most common reasons cargo sits at port. Work with your bank early, have your proforma invoice ready, and share the Form M number with us so we can align the bill of lading.
