Rolats ships cargo to Ghana from Tottenham — one of the largest Ghanaian communities in Europe. We collect free from Bruce Grove, Tottenham High Road, West Green Road or anywhere across N17, bring it to our Dagenham depot, then send it by air into Accra (Kotoka) (£5.90/kg + £20 handling) or by sea via the Port of Tema (from £70 per bag). Door-to-door to Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and every region, with the CTN raised and nothing to pay when it reaches your family in Ghana.
Shipping to Ghana from the heart of the diaspora
Tottenham is home to one of the biggest Ghanaian communities anywhere in Europe. Along Tottenham High Road, around Bruce Grove and up West Green Road you'll find Ghanaian churches, food shops, hair salons and restaurants serving banku, kenkey, waakye and jollof — and families who send home to Accra, Kumasi and the regions all year round. We collect across all of N17:
- Tottenham High Road & Bruce Grove — barrels, provisions and 'Ghana Must Go' bags
- Seven Sisters & West Green Road — boxes, clothing and household goods
- Tottenham Hale & White Hart Lane — flats, removals and larger loads
One call books a free pickup — nothing to carry to Dagenham.
The Tottenham barrel run to Ghana
The everyday Tottenham shipment is a barrel of provisions — gari, shito, dried fish, tinned tomatoes and palm oil — a few 'Ghana Must Go' bags of clothes, and boxes for family in Accra, Kumasi or the Ashanti and Volta regions. We handle it all: collect from your N17 home, weigh and consolidate at Dagenham, and pick the cheaper route. Sending foodstuffs by sea? We'll advise how to pack so it travels safely on the four-to-six-week route to Tema.

Ghana customs — the CTN, handled
Ghanaian imports need a CTN (Cargo Tracking Note, also called 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 paperwork so your Tottenham cargo clears cleanly at Tema and isn't held.
