1. Decide what to import
Start with products you understand and can sell quickly in Ghana — clothing, phone accessories, beauty products, kitchenware, tools and auto spare parts are popular choices. Check local prices so you know your profit margin before you buy.
2. Find a reliable supplier
Online marketplaces list thousands of sellers, but quality varies. Look for suppliers with a long trading history and good reviews, and always ask for clear photos and specifications. A sourcing agent in Ghana like TRADVIA can verify suppliers and negotiate for you.
3. Get a full landed cost
The product price is only part of the cost. Add local delivery in China, international shipping, customs duties and service fees to know your true cost per item.
4. Choose air or sea freight
Air freight takes 7–14 days and suits small, light or urgent goods. Sea freight takes 60–80 days and is cheaper for heavy or bulk orders. Read more about shipping from China to Ghana.
5. Inspect before shipping
Have goods checked in China before they leave. It is far easier to fix wrong colours, sizes or quantities before shipment than after arrival.
6. Clear customs and receive delivery
Customs clearance in Ghana needs the right paperwork. Working with an agent who handles clearance and door-to-door delivery saves time and avoids surprise charges.
