Everything you need to ship to Ghana in one place. We collect from your door anywhere in the UK, handle the customs paperwork, and deliver to Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and beyond. Air freight in 4–7 working days, or economical sea freight in roughly 3–6 weeks, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. These sea transit times are approximate — the actual time depends on when your LCL container finishes loading and consolidating, the vessel’s sailing date and route, any transhipment hub before the final destination, and customs clearance, so please allow a week or two either side. Shipping to Ghana since 1998.
Ghana is a steady diaspora route, and its returning-resident relief is generous — but it hinges on a declaration made within 48 hours of arrival. This guide brings together everything that actually matters for a UK–Ghana shipment, drawn from our Heathrow-side operation and 25+ years on this lane.

Air freight suits a few boxes or anything urgent — 4–7 working days, priced on weight and size. Sea freight suits volume — a room, a family’s contents or a whole home — at a fraction of the per-kilo cost, over roughly 3–6 weeks door-to-door.
