The Al Waleed Order Process — Step by Step
01
Send Your Product List via WhatsApp
WhatsApp Al Waleed’s export desk at +971 566 952 848 with your required products — compressor model numbers, refrigerant grades and cylinder sizes, copper coil sizes and quantities, spare parts list, and any tools needed. Photographs of existing product nameplates are the fastest way to confirm the correct replacement specifications. No minimum order requirement — all enquiries are handled.
02
Receive Proforma Invoice Within 24 Hours
Al Waleed’s export team confirms product availability and current pricing and issues a proforma invoice by email within 24 hours of receiving a complete product enquiry. The proforma invoice shows itemised pricing in USD, sea freight cost estimate to your Nigerian port, and total estimated FOB value. Review the proforma invoice and confirm any amendments before proceeding to payment.
03
Confirm Order and Transfer Payment
Payment is by telegraphic transfer (T/T bank wire) in USD to Al Waleed’s UAE bank account. Bank details are provided on the proforma invoice. For new customers, full payment before dispatch is the standard arrangement. For established regular customers, Al Waleed can discuss flexible payment terms based on trading history. Confirm payment transfer and send the bank transfer receipt to Al Waleed via WhatsApp or email to initiate packing.
04
Goods Packed and Dispatched Within 2–3 Days
After payment confirmation, Al Waleed packs and prepares the shipment within 2–3 working days. Sea freight shipments are booked on the next available Jebel Ali to Apapa or Onne Port sailing. Air freight shipments are booked on the next available Dubai to Lagos or Abuja flight. Refrigerant gas is declared as IMDG dangerous goods on sea freight manifests and IATA DGR on air freight — all handled correctly by Al Waleed as standard practice.
05
Export Documents Sent After Shipment Sails
After the sea freight vessel sails from Jebel Ali (or air freight departs Dubai), Al Waleed emails the complete export document set: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin (Dubai Chamber of Commerce stamped), and sea freight bill of lading (or air waybill for air freight). These documents are required by your Nigerian customs agent for clearance at Apapa, Onne Port, or Lagos/Abuja airport. Original documents can be couriered to Nigeria if required by your customs agent.
06
Customs Clearance at Nigerian Port
Your licensed Nigerian customs agent (freight forwarder) handles customs clearance at Apapa or Onne Port using the document set provided by Al Waleed. The customs process typically takes 3–7 working days after the vessel arrives at the Nigerian port, depending on the customs agent’s efficiency, the completeness of the documentation, and current Apapa/Onne Port processing conditions. Al Waleed is available to provide supplementary documentation or correspondence to support your customs agent if any query arises.
Sea Freight vs Air Freight — Which to Choose for Nigeria
| Factor | Sea Freight | Air Freight |
|---|---|---|
| Transit time to Lagos | 10–16 days Jebel Ali to Apapa | 3–5 days Dubai to Lagos or Abuja |
| Cost | Low cost per kg — best for bulk | High cost per kg — viable for small urgent orders |
| Refrigerant gas | IMDG declared — Al Waleed handles documentation | Limited quantities — IATA DGR rules apply per airline |
| Best for | Routine restocking orders · bulk refrigerant · copper coils | Urgent compressor replacement · single critical part |
| Nigerian port of arrival | Apapa (Lagos) or Onne (Port Harcourt) | Murtala Muhammed (LOS) or Nnamdi Azikiwe (ABV) |
Al Waleed recommendation: Use sea freight from Jebel Ali to Apapa or Onne Port for all routine restocking orders — it is significantly more cost-effective per kilogram and allows full consolidation of refrigerant gas, compressors, copper coils, and spare parts in one shipment. Use air freight only for urgent single-compressor or small-parts orders where a cold room or commercial system failure has immediate commercial or clinical consequences and waiting 10–16 days for sea freight is not acceptable. Al Waleed books both sea and air freight and provides the appropriate dangerous goods documentation for each mode.
Export Documentation — What Al Waleed Provides on Every Shipment
Commercial Invoice
Itemised invoice in USD showing product description, brand, model number, quantity, unit price, and total value. Prepared to Nigerian customs declaration requirements with correct HS tariff code references. Al Waleed company stamp and authorised signature.
Packing List
Itemised packing list showing number of cartons/pallets, dimensions, gross weight, and net weight per line item. Correctly matches the commercial invoice. Essential for Nigerian customs physical examination of the shipment against declared contents.
Certificate of Origin
Dubai Chamber of Commerce stamped certificate confirming UAE as the country of export. Required for Nigerian customs duty calculation and may support duty preference claims under applicable trade arrangements.
Bill of Lading / Air Waybill
Sea freight bill of lading or air freight air waybill issued by the shipping line or airline. Serves as the title document for the cargo — the Nigerian importer’s customs agent requires the original or telex-released bill of lading to take delivery at the Nigerian port.
IMDG Dangerous Goods Declaration
For all shipments containing refrigerant gas — the IMDG dangerous goods declaration showing UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, and quantity per cylinder type. Prepared correctly by Al Waleed on every shipment. Missing or incorrect DG documentation is the most common cause of refrigerant shipment delays at Nigerian ports.
Product Data Sheets (on request)
For pharmaceutical, hospital, hotel, and project clients who require brand documentation for their maintenance records or M&E material submittals — Al Waleed provides refrigerant brand data sheets (Forane® Arkema), compressor T3 confirmation letters, and copper specification compliance statements on request at time of order.
Frequently Asked Questions — Ordering and Shipping to Nigeria
Do I need a Nigerian import licence to import HVAC spare parts from Dubai?
HVAC spare parts including compressors, copper coils, and electrical components can generally be imported into Nigeria under a standard importer of record arrangement without a specific product licence — but this is subject to current Nigerian customs and Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) requirements which may change. Refrigerant gas — particularly HCFC R22 — is subject to Montreal Protocol import quota controls in Nigeria and Nigerian importers should confirm current R22 import requirements with their customs agent before placing large R22 orders. Al Waleed provides correct documentation on all products but is not a Nigerian legal or customs authority — always consult your licensed Nigerian customs agent before your first import order for their current guidance on any licence or regulatory requirement that may apply.
Can Al Waleed arrange delivery to my warehouse in Nigeria directly?
Al Waleed ships to the Nigerian port of your choice — Apapa (Lagos), Onne (Port Harcourt), or by air freight to Lagos or Abuja airports. Customs clearance at the Nigerian port and inland delivery from the port to your Nigerian warehouse are handled by your licensed Nigerian customs agent and local inland delivery provider. Al Waleed is the UAE-side exporter and provides all export documentation — the Nigeria-side clearance and delivery is arranged by the Nigerian importer through their local agents. If you do not currently have a customs agent in Nigeria, Al Waleed can recommend established Nigerian freight forwarders who regularly handle our shipments.
What is the fastest way to get an urgent compressor to Nigeria?
For a single urgent compressor order — a cold room failure, hospital blood bank fault, or pharmaceutical cold store emergency — air freight from Dubai to Lagos (Murtala Muhammed) or Abuja (Nnamdi Azikiwe) takes 3–5 days from dispatch. WhatsApp Al Waleed immediately with the compressor model number and we confirm stock availability and air freight pricing the same day. For air freight, compressors do not contain refrigerant and are not classified as dangerous goods — they ship on standard cargo rates without dangerous goods documentation requirements. Payment confirmation triggers same-day or next-day packing and dispatch. This is Al Waleed’s standard urgent replacement service for Nigerian cold chain operators.
