The commercial gateway to northern Ghana, with the region's trade flowing through the city before reaching the south.
Tamale is the commercial gateway to northern Ghana, with agricultural produce and general trade from the Northern, North East, Upper East, and Upper West regions flowing through the city before reaching Kumasi or the coast. It's a long haul from the ports, which makes clear documentation and a reliable agent even more important.
Based on Tamale's trade patterns, these categories move through us most often.
Your shipment clears at Tema Port and Kotoka International Airport. We handle the port-side process and coordinate delivery or pickup back to Tamale — you don't need to travel there yourself.
No. Your assigned agent handles the port-side process — valuation, declaration, duty payment, and release — and coordinates delivery or pickup back to you.
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.
Not the clearance itself, which happens at Tema or Kotoka. It just means the delivery leg north takes longer than for coastal cities.
Send the destination and cargo details so nothing sits at the port longer than it needs to.
