Shipping Cost from Rome 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.

Budget: The shorter the distance, the more cost-effective it is to drive instead of ship your car. Regardless of the total distance, look at your total moving budget and how much you can afford to spend on car shipping services compared to a cross-country drive.

Step 1: Understand Ghana Vehicle Import Eligibility Before shipping, confirm that your intended vehicle meets Ghana's import regulations: Age Limitations: Ghana restricts used car imports to vehicles 10 years old or newer. Left-Hand Drive Requirement: Only left-hand drive vehicles may be imported.
