Where Nigeria’s importers of everyday goods find each other
A trade association for people who import and sell.
Maxta Connect brings together businesses that import consumer goods and sell them across Nigeria: wholesale to shops and resellers, retail to homes and offices, or both.
Importing is easier when you know who to trust. Our members share what they have learned about suppliers, freight and clearing, and pass buyer leads to each other, so every shipment is a little less of a gamble.
What our members import
Five core categories, with room for more.
Wall art and frames, lighting, rugs and curtains, vases, artificial flowers and other finishing touches for the home.
Gift sets and packaging, stationery, desk organisers, corporate gifts and everyday office essentials.
Cosmetics, skincare tools and fragrances, plus gym equipment, sportswear and fitness accessories.
Personal care and wellness items, home health devices, baby clothing, feeding and care products, and toys.
Phones and accessories, small appliances, audio equipment, LED lighting and smart devices.

Grow together
How we work with each other
Members deal openly with each other and with their customers.
Straight dealing
What one importer learns the hard way, the rest of us hear about first.
Shared know-how
A group of importers carries more weight with suppliers and carriers than one business alone.
Stronger together
Membership is open to importers of consumer goods. Read what it involves, then send your application when you are ready.
