How it reaches you

Your shipment clears at Kotoka International Airport and Tema Port. We handle the port-side process and coordinate delivery or pickup back to East Legon — you don't need to travel there yourself.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be at the port myself?

No. Your assigned agent handles the port-side process — valuation, declaration, duty payment, and release — and coordinates delivery or pickup back to you.

How long does clearance take?

It depends on the port, cargo type, and whether your documents are complete. Air freight often clears within a day or two; sea freight can take longer if the container is selected for examination.

Given East Legon's proximity to the airport, is air freight the default?

It's common for personal and high-value items, but sea freight through Tema still applies for larger shipments.
