How it reaches you

Your shipment clears at Takoradi Port and Tema Port. We handle the port-side process and coordinate delivery or pickup back to Kotokuraba — 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.

Does Kotokuraba get its goods through a specific port?

Mostly Takoradi, sometimes Tema — either way, delivery into Cape Coast follows clearance.
