Ship Car To Tema

Published by Joe Webster.

Ghana (GHA)

Ship Car To Tema

Car Shipping Tema

The capital of the Tema metro region, the city of Tema in Ghana, is situated about 16 miles from the national capital city of Accra. After the construction of the harbor in 1961, Tema has become one of the busiest port cities and is home to industries and oil refineries over the years.

There may be many reasons for moving to the Ghanaian city of Tema, but the fact remains that having your own vehicle helps.

To begin with the process, it is essential to know the significant hauling ports in the USA, and you might want to discuss the closest port to the departure city from where the vehicle will be transported. You can drive the car to the nearest port or ask A1 Auto Transport service for the ‘door to port service’ that they offer. Though this is more convenient, but the trucking costs are added to the shipping bill.

The cost of relocating your vehicle to Ghana depends significantly on the method you select. You can choose from RORO and container shifting as air shipping is prohibitively expensive. The cheapest way to move is Roll-on/Roll-Off, where the vehicle is driven on the move at the U.S. port and driven off at the port at Tema in Ghana. The charges are based on parking bay use, and thus, it turns out to be the most affordable option. Though you cannot ship any personal belongings within the vehicle, the vehicle is exposed to the weather.

On the contrary, container relocation is expensive, but the vehicle and other goods that you intend to haul with the vehicle are protected as all of it is sealed inside the 20-foot or 40-foot containers. The whole container is lifted on and off the ship using cranes. You will need to decide and let A1 Auto Transport know your preferred choice so they can offer you a free quote on the shipping procedure.

About vehicle tax and specifications for import

It is essential to be aware of the fact that any vehicle older than 10 years is not allowed within Ghana as per the Ghana Revenue Authority. That is why it is essential to submit all details about the vehicle's age, make, and model during the documentation process. Additionally, these details on the weight and size of the car are also needed if you are shipping by RORO, and the parking bay is accordingly allocated.

If your vehicle is vintage or luxury, you might want additional insurance coverage. When you are costing for the vehicle import, consider the specific taxes which will be applicable. The cost of the vehicle, shifting and freight charges, and insurance on the car (CIF) are considered before the import duty is applicable. The Import duty varies from 5% to 20%, while the VAT is 12.5%. Other specific taxes in Ghana are:

  • 5% of import duty as NHIL levy.
  • 1% inspection fee.
  • EDIF tax of 0.5%.
  • ECOWAS development tax of 5%

Documentation for Vehicle Import

The Ghana Revenue Authority and the U.S Customs also need a host of documentation to ensure that vehicle export/import is legal and within the purview of current laws. You are required to submit these documents including:

  • Bill of sale of vehicle.
  • Insurance.
  • Lien-free title deed.
  • Owner’s driving license/passport.
  • Import permits.

If you need additional information about any aspect of shipping your vehicle from the USA to Tema in Ghana, it is best to contact the Embassy of Ghana today.
