Six things that shape a Ghana order.
Facts from the Ghana Revenue Authority’s import procedure; your clearing agent confirms the assessment for the actual shipment.
Original bill of lading, attested invoice, packing list, an Import Declaration Form from the Ministry of Trade, a TIN or GhanaCard PIN, and any permits the goods require.
GRA import procedures, checked 21 October 2026Your clearing agent submits the declaration in the Integrated Customs Management System. It runs through classification, valuation and approval, and duties are paid at a participating bank on the tax bill.
GRA import procedures, checked 21 October 2026ICUMS assigns a risk channel: red means mandatory physical examination, yellow a scan, green release at the gate. Matching descriptions and values keep the file simple whichever channel applies.
GRA import procedures, checked 21 October 2026Sea freight normally arrives at Tema; GRA describes released goods leaving through the exit gate with the waybill. Transport to the Accra address, unloading and assembly are quoted separately.
GRA import procedures, checked 21 October 2026; inland scope confirmed per quotationEvery approved piece carries a room and item code that stays on the invoice, the packing list and the receiving check, whichever factory made it.

Importer readiness
Prepare the ICUMS information with your agent.
GRA lists the transport document, invoice, packing list, Import Declaration Form and importer identification, plus permits where applicable. The clearing agent submits the declaration through ICUMS.
Prepare these five things
- Named Ghana importer and appointed clearing agent
- Transport document, invoice and packing-list details
- Import Declaration Form and TIN or GhanaCard PIN, as applicable
- Product descriptions and supporting permits confirmed by the agent
- Destination address, receiving contact and delivery scope
Checked 21 October 2026. Duties, approvals and the examination channel are determined for the actual declaration; nothing here is a shipment-specific assessment.

FoshanGhana questions
Before you send the brief.
Short answers with the next document to read. Tax and clearance specifics are confirmed by your clearing professional.
Can I combine sofas, dining furniture and cabinetry in the brief?
Yes. Group each category by room and identify fitted items separately. Cabinetry needs approved measurements and drawings, while each supplier’s packing information must match the consolidated item schedule.
Can you give a fixed customs figure before the goods are specified?
No. The agent needs the goods, values and classification details to prepare a useful estimate. Confirm the assessment for the actual order, and keep customs charges separate from the furniture prices.
Who submits the ICUMS declaration?
Your appointed clearing agent, using the documents listed on this page. We prepare the invoice, packing list and item references so the declaration starts from consistent information.
How do I keep a repeated furniture package consistent?
Approve a shared specification and finish references before ordering the batch. State the quantity per unit and agree how substitutions and production differences will be reviewed.
Can I buy remotely?
Yes. Supplier comparisons, photo and video reviews, samples and written approvals all work from a clear brief. A Foshan visit can be planned around the same room schedule if you travel.
What should I send for a Ghana project?
Your furniture list or floor plan, the delivery city, product budget and required date. For multiple units, state the quantity of each room package. Add the clearing-agent contact if one is already appointed.
