How it reaches you

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

With Kumasi inland, which port actually handles the shipment?

Either Tema or Takoradi, depending on which one your carrier routes through — we confirm this once we see the shipping reference.
