Ghana and UAE have growing bilateral trade. Ghana is one of West Africa's most stable and open economies. Key UAE exports to Ghana include food products, machinery, electronics, vehicles and consumer goods. Accra is a growing hub for international business in West Africa.
Ghana's relatively stable currency (Cedi) and improved economic governance make it an attractive market for UAE exporters. Tema Free Zone Authority offers incentives for companies using Ghana as a West Africa distribution hub.
Ghana Customs Authority uses the GCNET (Ghana Community Network Services) system for electronic customs processing. Pre-arrival documentation must be submitted before goods arrive. Ghana applies risk-based channel assignment — green channel for low-risk, yellow for document check, red for physical examination.
Import duties range from 0% to 20% with an additional ECOWAS Community Levy of 2.5%. Ghana VAT of 15% applies to most goods. A Customs Infrastructure Levy of 1% and an Export Development and Investment Fund Levy of 0.5% also apply. Total effective import tax rates can be significant.
Tema Port (officially Meridian Port Services) is Ghana's main commercial port, located 25km east of Accra. It handles the majority of Ghana's container imports and is the main transit port for ECOWAS landlocked countries. Takoradi Port in the Western Region handles bulk and offshore cargo.
Kotoka International Airport (ACC) in Accra is the main air cargo gateway for Ghana. It handles cargo for all of Ghana and serves as a connecting hub for other West African destinations. Multiple airlines operate cargo services between Dubai DXB and Accra ACC.
Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) regulates product standards and conducts destination inspection for many import categories. Regulated categories include food products, electronics, building materials, cosmetics and consumer goods. GSA certification may be required before customs release.
NAFDAC Ghana (Food and Drugs Authority — FDA Ghana) regulates food, drugs, cosmetics and medical devices. Products in these categories require FDA Ghana registration before commercial import. Dazro advises on Ghana product compliance requirements at quoting stage.
