Every shipment is different, but the same problems come up again and again. Here is how we handle the ones importers ask about most.
An importer brings in a consignment of cosmetics. The supplier’s paperwork is complete, the goods arrive at Accra International Airport, and only then does the question of FDA approval come up. The cargo sits while the permit is chased, and storage charges begin accruing.
We review documents before the goods land, not after. When a consignment needs approval from the Food and Drugs Authority, the Ghana Standards Authority or another agency, we flag it at the quotation stage so the importer can start the process early. Where goods have already arrived, we work the permit and the declaration in parallel rather than in sequence.
Most delays at the airport aren’t caused by Customs. They’re caused by a document nobody knew was needed. Requirements depend on the goods and are confirmed per shipment.
A declaration goes through ICUMS and is assigned to the red channel — mandatory physical examination. The importer isn’t present, doesn’t know what’s happening, and hears nothing for a day.
The channel is assigned by Customs, not by us, and no agent can promise green. What we can do is attend the examination on the importer’s behalf, answer queries on the spot, and keep them informed while it happens rather than after. Our offices at Avianca Cargo Village and Tema Main Harbour mean someone is already there.
You can’t control the channel. You can control how quickly someone responds when it goes red.
Someone returning to Ghana ships household goods. They’ve never cleared anything before, don’t have a TIN, and aren’t sure what an Import Declaration Form is. The shipment arrives and they don’t know where to start.
We take first-time importers through it step by step — what documents are needed, how the TIN or GhanaCard PIN works, what happens at each stage of the ICUMS process, and what they need to do versus what we handle. Our WhatsApp assistant answers the common questions instantly, at any hour, and our team takes over for the shipment itself.
Clearing goods shouldn’t require knowing the system in advance.
Typically the waybill or Bill of Lading, an attested invoice, a packing list, an Import Declaration Form (IDF), and your TIN or GhanaCard PIN. Depending on the goods you may also need a permit, for example from the FDA or the Ghana Standards Authority. This is not a complete list for every shipment — we confirm the exact requirements for your cargo.
For straightforward air cargo with complete documents, clearance is usually within about 3 days once duties are paid. The exact time depends on the examination channel Customs assigns to the declaration.
It depends on the type of goods. Food, drugs and cosmetics generally need FDA approval, and goods subject to standards need Ghana Standards Authority certification. Other agencies apply to other goods. We advise you per shipment.
