Ship Car To Accra

Car Shipping Accra

Accra is the largest city in Ghana, and it is situated along the present Ghanaian Atlantic coast. The city is extended along the northern regions of Ghana and was built as a port city.

There are plenty of reasons to move to Accra, starting with a job, as a returning citizen, or even for further studies, but it is vital to import your vehicle while planning to move here.

You might have to select the correct shipping procedure while importing your car to Ghana. The Roll On/Roll-Off service is the most cost-effective option, or RORO. You are charged for space, which your automobile will use while shipping. Though the vehicle is exposed to varying climatic conditions, it is definitely cheaper to use this method. Besides spare keys, extra tires, and floor mats, don’t leave anything in your motorcar when you ship using RORO; only leave ¼ tank fuel.

If you ship the vehicle using a container, your automobile will be in a spacious 20-foot or 40-foot container. The container is uploaded on the ship using cranes and unloaded similarly. To ensure that the import is legal, you need to provide some valid information about your automobile before shipping, including the model, make, and year of the motorcar. These statistics help determine the dimensions, as they are essential for measuring the space on the ship, especially if you plan on shipping by RORO. If you have an expensive vehicle, you can always opt for some additional insurance. Let A1 Auto Transport service assist you with the nuances of car insurance.

Specific motor vehicle regulations in Ghana

While shipping the vehicle to Accra, ensure that your automobile isn’t very old, as Ghana Customs officials will not allow any automobile over ten years of age.

• The current S. Customs and Border Protection Agency needs documentation before exporting. For that, an original sale bill is required.
• You need a clear title deed to show that your vehicle is free from lien. If there is a lien, you might have to get a notarized letter from the lienholder as authorization to ship it abroad.
• Registration, driver's license, passport, and insurance proof are some extra documents you should provide before hauling your motorcar to Ghana. These documents are mostly required for inspection and validation of the legality of imports by Ghana Customs officials.
• The vehicle needs to be operational, so that, whenever the need arises, it can be driven off and on the ship. It must adhere to the standard emission levels and must be without any malfunction, as roadworthiness is tested.
• After your automobile reaches the Ghana port in Accra, here is a port tax. This tax needs to be cleared before the motorcar gets the chance to clear customs.
