How do I find my duty band?
Your band depends on the HS code of your goods. Send us your commercial invoice and our customs brokers will classify it correctly. Misclassification is the most common cause of surprise charges.
Is this the final amount I'll pay?
No, this is an estimate. GRA may apply a different customs value, and some goods carry extra excise duty or exemptions. Port handling, shipping line and storage charges are separate.
Which exchange rate should I use?
GRA publishes a customs exchange rate each week. Use the rate for the week your goods arrive. Our team can confirm it for you.
Do you clear goods at borders and the airport too?
Yes. We clear at Tema and Takoradi ports, Accra International Airport, and the Aflao, Akanu, Elubo, Hamile and Paga borders.
