Trade Edge Logistics runs three trading divisions on the same Northern Ireland to Nigeria route — built on the idea that good sourcing data makes good trade decisions, whatever the product.
Different products, same approach: source what's actually in demand, check it before it ships, and work out landed cost up front. All three share the same sourcing base, checks and consolidated freight to Nigeria.
Sources used car parts from Northern Ireland's vehicle salvage network, matched to the brands and models that dominate Nigeria's Tokunbo market. Browse Motor Parts →
Sources ambient grocery products from Northern Ireland wholesale and clearance stock, checked against Nigeria's current import rules before export. Browse Groceries →
Sources genuine used Massey Ferguson and classic tractor parts from tractor dismantlers across Northern Ireland and Ireland, matched by part number. Browse Tractor Parts →
Nigeria's used-vehicle market runs on a narrow set of brands and models — Toyota, Honda, Lexus and a handful of others make up the overwhelming majority of cars on the road. Northern Ireland, meanwhile, has a dense, well-established network of salvage yards processing exactly these models every week.
We sit between the two: sourcing parts matched specifically to what Nigerian buyers actually need, checking condition before anything is listed, and working out landed cost — freight, duty, VAT and clearance — up front rather than leaving it as a surprise at the port.
We prioritise the categories that move fastest on Nigerian roads: suspension components worn down by road conditions, engine and drivetrain parts, brakes, and the body and electrical parts needed for accident-repair work.
Nigeria's current import rules restrict a number of food categories from non-ECOWAS origin — including frozen poultry, beef, pork, retail-pack sugar and vegetable oil, cocoa butter/powder, and tomato paste. We focus on ambient, shelf-stable categories confirmed exportable under current rules.
Stock comes from a mix of mainstream Northern Ireland wholesale and short-dated/surplus clearance brokers — the latter often runs well below standard wholesale pricing while remaining comfortably within date for export timelines.
Every line is checked against Nigeria's current import prohibition list and HS classification before it's sourced, so what's offered is what can actually clear customs.
Nigeria needs far more working tractors than it has, and much of the fleet is older, foreign-used Massey Ferguson machinery. When a tractor breaks down, a missing part can keep it off the field for weeks, right when farmers need it most.
Northern Ireland and Ireland have a dense network of tractor dismantlers breaking exactly these models for parts. We match what Nigerian service providers, dealers and farms need by part number, then check, photograph and tag every part before it ships.
We focus on the heavy-duty parts that are hardest to replace and where genuine parts outlast cheap copies: engines, hydraulics, fuel injection pumps, gearboxes, axles and electrical parts.
Whether it's a motor part, a tractor part or a grocery order, send us the details — we'll check it against current Northern Ireland stock.
