Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to Ghana?
Current rates for shipping from China to Ghana start at USD 2.61/KG via Air DDP Cleared. For 300 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 783, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common applied by the national customs service.
What duties and taxes apply when importing into Ghana?
Imports into Ghana are assessed by the national customs service. The applicable regime is: Import VAT plus duty 5–35%; pre-shipment inspection common. The duty-free / de-minimis position is No practical de-minimis on most routes. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
In what currency are rates to Ghana quoted and paid?
Freight to Ghana is quoted and invoiced in USD; the local currency on the destination side is USD (freight priced in USD). Payment is typically due before departure (T/T or PayPal), and because it's DDP you settle the full landed cost once — no destination collect charges.
Which ports and airports handle China shipments to Ghana?
Sea freight to Ghana typically routes through the main commercial seaport, while air freight clears via the primary international airport. We pick the gateway with the best onward delivery time to your final address and price it into the DDP rate.
Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Ghana?
For 300 KG to Ghana, LCL through the main commercial seaport is usually right unless cargo exceeds ~5–6 CBM or ships regularly. FCL becomes economical above roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by the national customs service.
When is the busy season for shipping to Ghana?
Capacity to Ghana tightens around Oct–Dec, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
How long does shipping from China to Ghana take?
Door-to-door transit to Ghana: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 7–21 days (congestion common) of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
What documents are required for customs clearance in Ghana?
the national customs service typically requires: (1) commercial invoice with HS codes and declared value; (2) packing list with weights and dimensions; (3) bill of lading or air waybill; (4) certificate of origin (may lower duty); and (5) any product-specific certification (Pre-shipment conformity certificate often mandatory). Under DDP we prepare and file these for you.
