In 2025, Nduka Udeh, a seasoned Nigerian entrepreneur and export consultant, boldly invested over $200,000 of his own funds to establish a world-class warehouse in Delaware, USA, not for profit, but to bridge African exporters with the U.S. market. https://www.africanies.com
Why Delaware?
- It’s a tax-free state—no sales tax—helping buyers and exporters save up to 10% on purchases.
- It’s strategically located near major East Coast population hubs like New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, D.C., and Virginia, enabling 1–3 day deliveries across high-traffic markets.
What the Warehouse Offers:
- 90 days of warehousing for $1—nearly free storage that helps African exporters manage inventory and respond quickly to U.S. demand.
- Shipping cost reductions of over 60%—by aggregating shipments and handling local delivery.
- Full insurance and guaranteed customs clearance, plus user-friendly inventory management systems.
- Support with regulatory compliance—FDA, NAFDAC, and customs—so products make it through smoothly.
Why It Matters:
For years, Nigerian and African exporters have struggled with customs seizures, high shipping costs, long delivery timelines, and ship-to-store logistics. This warehouse addresses those pain points directly—making global exports more accessible, cost-effective, and faster than ever.
