Appliances Shipping Cost from Athens to Accra

Shipping a 40ft container to Ghana typically costs between $2,500 and $6,000 for ocean freight, but prices fluctuate widely based on origin (US, China, Dubai), fuel costs, port fees, and carrier, with potential extra charges for customs, VAT (15%), and local delivery in Ghana. For instance, from the US, it might average around $5,900, while from China, you might see rates from $2,800-$3,500, and from Dubai, closer to $2,800-$4,500.

USPS Priority Mail International offers some of the cheapest services to ship your orders from the US to Ghana.

The cheapest shipping company depends on your package, but USPS is usually cheapest for small, light items (under 1lb) with services like Ground Advantage or Flat Rate, while UPS & FedEx often beat USPS for heavier packages (over 5lbs), especially with commercial discounts, though they add surcharges. For best rates, use platforms like ShipStation or Pirate Ship to compare real-time prices across carriers, as they offer commercial discounts that beat retail rates.
