Sending Goods to Accra

Accra is the primary arrival point for goods shipped to Ghana. Air freight lands directly at Kotoka International Airport inside the city, while ocean freight arrives at Tema Port about 25 km to the east and clears customs there before reaching recipients in the capital. Whichever mode you choose, VoltaHaul manages the US-side export paperwork, the ocean or air leg, and clearance in Ghana.

Clearance & Delivery in Accra

For ocean shipments, goods clear customs at Tema Port and can then be collected or delivered onward into Accra neighborhoods such as Osu, East Legon, Madina, Tema, Achimota, and Dansoman. Air shipments clear at Kotoka and are typically available faster. We coordinate customs clearance for you; your consignee simply needs valid ID and the shipment reference to collect, or you can arrange door delivery.
