Dear all,
I'm planning few months in Nigeria, and of course i'll travelling by plane. I've seen at Nigeria Customs website a import prohibition list, that include a lot of items such as soap, paracetamol, and mosquito coil. Does it mean that if I travel by plane I will encounter problems at the airport customs if in my bag they 'll find body soap, shampoo and mosquito spray? and what about medecine?
any suggestion?
thank you
andrea

No man. You are safe with these stuffs. That prohibition list you saw is for bulk cargo... Not for personal effects

Doesn't apply to you, it's for bulk imports/retailers.
