How do I buy used car parts from the UK and ship them to Ghana?
Send your parts list and destination to a UK supplier who inspects stock, agree the items and codes, then consolidate everything into one shipment rather than posting items separately. A commercial invoice and packing list clear customs, and duty is handled at the Ghana end.
- Main entry point: Tema
- Consolidating into one container is far cheaper per item
- Confirm engine and gearbox codes before anything ships
- Commercial invoice and packing list travel with the load
- Duty and clearance are set in Ghana, not the UK
Ghana is one of the most straightforward African destinations to ship UK parts to. The route is well worn, the paperwork expectations are consistent, and demand is stable rather than spiky.
What sells in Ghana
Buying what the market actually wants is the whole game. In Ghana, demand concentrates on:
- Toyota and Nissan across the range
- Hyundai and Kia, increasingly
- Suspension and steering — road conditions drive replacement
- Body panels in common colours
- Engines and gearboxes with codes confirmed
Ports and routing
Tema is the main container port, with Takoradi serving the west of the country.
Tema handles most container traffic and serves Accra and the wider region. Kumasi is the second major distribution point inland.
Buyers here reward consistency. A supplier who ships the same quality month after month will hold the relationship over one who is occasionally cheaper.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about buying, selling and shipping car parts with LJ Auto.
How much does it cost to ship car parts to Ghana?
It depends on volume far more than item count, because freight is priced by space. A shared container suits smaller orders and a full container is much cheaper per item once you can fill one. Send your parts list and destination city for a quote.
Which port do shipments to Ghana arrive at?
Tema is the main container port, with Takoradi serving the west of the country.
Can you ship a whole salvage vehicle to Ghana?
Yes. We export whole salvage vehicles and vans as well as loose parts, and both can travel in the same container — usually the cheapest configuration per item.
What paperwork comes with the shipment?
A commercial invoice and a packing list, which is what your clearing agent presents at the Ghana end. Import duty and clearance procedures are set locally, so confirm them with your agent before the container sails.
