Vehicle Shipping Considerations

Ghana applies its own vehicle import duty structure based partly on vehicle age, which affects landed cost. Confirm current duty bands for your vehicle's model year before finalizing a shipment.

Machinery Shipping Considerations

Machinery destined for Ghana or onward inland transport typically ships FCL; equipment intended for re-export inland should have documentation clearly noting final destination.

Documentation

  • Bill of lading
  • Commercial invoice
  • Certificate of origin
  • Vehicle proof of ownership (for vehicle shipments)
  • Ghana customs import declaration (confirm current requirements)

Customs Notes

Ghanaian import duty on vehicles is influenced by age and engine size; these bands are set by Ghanaian customs authorities and subject to change.
