Steering Orientation & LHD Options for Ghana

Ghana regulations mandate Left-Hand Drive (LHD) vehicles for road registration. We provide three reliable pathways to ensure your JDM import complies with DVLA standards.

Zero Risk

1. Factory-Original LHD Sourcing

We actively bid on factory-original Left-Hand Drive units available directly at Japanese auctions (USS, TAA, CAA). These include European/US specs and diplomatic vehicles registered in Tokyo—requiring no mechanical modifications whatsoever.

Pre-Arrival Solution

2. Transshipment Hub Conversion

Vehicles can be routed via free-zone hubs (such as Dubai JAFZA) prior to arriving in Ghana. Professional conversion engineering yards install complete LHD steering racks, dashboards, and re-routed wiring looms to factory quality standards.

Local Sourcing

3. In-Country Local Conversion

If you prefer shipping your RHD unit directly to Tema Port, conversions can be handled locally in Accra or Tema. We advise using accredited engineering yards that install genuine OEM LHD donor kits to pass mandatory DVLA roadworthiness checks.

Ghana Customs Duty & Tax Structure (Tema Port)

Official tax components calculated by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) for clearing imported vehicles.

Tax Component Rate / Basis of Calculation Notes
Import Customs Duty 5% – 20% Calculated on total CIF Value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Rate depends on vehicle type and engine capacity.
Value Added Tax (VAT) 15% Applied to combined total of (CIF Value + Import Duty + Excise Duty).
Excise Duty 5% – 10% Determined by engine capacity (cc) and vehicle category.
NHIL + GETFund Levy 2.5% + 2.5% Applied directly to (CIF Value + Import Duty).
Graduated Over-Age Penalty Variable Penalty Applies strictly to vehicles 10 years old or older (pre-2016) under the Ghana Customs Act.
📌 Import Advisory: To optimize your CIF investment and avoid high over-age penalty taxes at Tema Port, we strongly recommend purchasing vehicles manufactured between 2016 and 2022.

⚠️ Global Shipping Realities & Schedule Dynamics

Understanding Ro/Ro space allocations and ocean carrier routing to Tema Port.

1. Maritime Diversions & Extended Voyages: Global vessel rerouting away from Red Sea corridors forces West African ocean carriers around the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in fluid departure dates and extended transit times.
2. Asian Loading Queues & Deck Rollovers: Because Ro/Ro vessel space across Asian ports (Japan, Korea, China) is tightly rationed, vehicles booked during peak seasons may experience 2- to 4-week deck rollovers in Yokohama waiting for space.
💡 The Faster Alternative — Direct 40ft Container Vanning:
Importing multiple units or combining vehicles with spare parts? 40ft High-Cube Container shipping bypasses Ro/Ro queue delays completely. Container lines run on fixed weekly schedules out of Yokohama, guarantee your booking slot, and keep cargo protected from ocean elements.

Customs & Duties

Ghana Import Regulations & Age Penalties

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) calculates import duties based on vehicle age, engine displacement (CC), and CIF value. Under the Ghana Customs Act, vehicles over 10 years old incur heavy over-age penalty surcharges at Tema Port.

Recommended Tier (2016–2022 Models): Optimal balance of low CIF valuation, standard excise rates (5–7%), and zero over-age penalties.
Over 10 Years Old (Pre-2016 Models): Subject to progressive over-age penalty taxes upon arrival at Tema Port.
Mandatory Pre-Shipment

Roadworthiness & PVoC Certification

Before leaving Japan, all vehicles bound for Ghana must undergo mandatory pre-shipment technical inspections (PVoC / EAA / ATJ) to verify roadworthiness, structural integrity, and safety systems.

✓ Certified Inspection Handled in Japan:
Nexuss International books and manages all mandatory pre-export physical inspections prior to vessel loading, delivering a verified Certificate of Conformance so your vehicle clears Tema Port without fines.
