Ghana customs — the CTN, handled
Ghanaian imports require a CTN (Cargo Tracking Note, also known as ASHI/UCR) raised before the vessel sails, and clear through the ICUMS system on arrival. As an HMRC Customs Authorised, EORI-registered forwarder we raise the CTN and prepare the documentation so your cargo from Nottingham clears cleanly and isn't held.
Door-to-door from Nottingham to Ghana
We collect in Nottingham, consolidate at Dagenham, ship, and deliver to the recipient's door anywhere in Ghana — not just to the port. Everything is quoted all-in in GBP, with no surprise charges billed to your family in Accra, Kumasi or wherever they are.
