Are you a machinery dealer in Ghana?

No. We're the exporter: you choose the machine, we source it in the USA and ship it to Tema; you are the importer, and your licensed broker clears it with the GRA. We keep no stock and sell nothing.

Who confirms Ghana import duty and used-age admissibility?

The GRA sets the duty by classification, and agricultural machinery can qualify for a zero rate — verified per machine, never assumed. VAT and levies may still apply, and the GSA can require import inspection of used machinery. Your broker confirms the figures for your unit.

What equipment is commonly imported into Ghana?

Tractors, excavators, loaders, combines and bulldozers are the regulars. Each unit is sourced across the US dealer and auction network and inspected at origin before shipment.

Equipment We Ship to Ghana

What You Need to Know

Ghana at a glance: cargo lands at Tema and moves inland from there; current carrier rates show 30-64 days from US ports and 30-40 days by 40HC from the Chicago rail ramp; tractors and construction machines travel in containers, on flat racks or on open tops. Compliance in brief: the GRA handles duty and the GSA can require import inspection of used machinery — per-machine detail, including the zero-rate question for agricultural units, is on our Ghana farm-tractor and heavy-equipment import pages.
