How It Works — New York to Ghana

The New York / New Jersey area is a major East Coast shipping gateway. Barrels and household goods move by ocean out of the Port of New York and New Jersey, while urgent items fly air from JFK or Newark — we arrange pickup or drop-off across the five boroughs and northern NJ.

New York Shipping FAQ

Do you serve all five boroughs and New Jersey?

Yes. We coordinate Ghana-bound shipments across New York City — the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island — and northern New Jersey including Newark, Jersey City, East Orange, and Irvington. Pickup can be arranged, or you can drop off at our designated point.

How does New York to Ghana ocean freight work?

You pack your barrels and we consolidate tri-state shipments for ocean export out of Port Newark. Goods arrive at Tema Port near Accra in roughly 28–35 days from cutoff, fully customs-cleared in Ghana.

Which airport do air shipments leave from?

Air freight typically departs from JFK or Newark Liberty (EWR) and arrives at Kotoka International Airport in Accra within 5–7 business days.

Can my family receive the shipment outside Accra?

Yes. Ocean arrives at Tema Port and air at Kotoka Airport. Recipients can arrange onward transport to Kumasi, Tamale, Cape Coast, or any region in Ghana.
