Electronics, documents, and time-sensitive packages — air freight is the fastest route from Atlanta to Kotoka International Airport, Accra.
$9/lb by actual weight for packages up to 50 in. on the longest side; larger packages are dimensionally priced by quote.
Volumetric weight = (L × W × H in cm) ÷ 5000. We charge whichever is greater.
Flat per-item air rates for the electronics, tech, and everyday packages we ship most. Prices match our online estimate tool.
* Flat air rates cover the item and standard air handling. Unlisted packages ship at $9/lb by actual weight; any package over 50 inches on its longest side is dimensionally priced. Custom or high-value items — bulk / overweight packages and perfume and other regulated goods — are quoted on request. Customs clearance and Ghana import duty on personal effects are included; duty on new or high-value electronics, US pickup, and Ghana delivery are billed separately.
Most air services to Ghana advertise a per-pound rate that covers the flight only — customs clearance at Kotoka is billed separately, and the full Ghana import duty is passed to your recipient at the airport. Our $9/lb is all-in for everyday personal effects: clearance and Ghana duty on clothing, shoes, food, documents, personal-care and baby items are already in the price.
The one exception is new or high-value electronics — phones, laptops, TVs, consoles — where Ghana assesses duty by declared value, so we clear them for you but the duty is billed at destination. And with no steep weight minimum, small shipments win big: a 5 lb box is $9/lb ($45) with us, versus the ~$200 first-20-lb minimum many consolidators charge before clearance and duty are even added.
Loose lithium batteries, flammable liquids, pressurized cans, and certain chemicals are restricted on air freight. Devices with built-in batteries (phones, laptops) are generally permitted when powered off. See the Prohibited Items guide for the full list.
Packages up to 50 inches on their longest side are priced at $9 per pound by actual weight. Packages over 50 inches on the longest side are dimensionally priced — contact us for a custom quote.
