Buyer questions
Which frozen beef and beef offals sell best in Ghana?
Market demand in Ghana commonly includes Beef Kidneys, Beef Liver, Beef Heart and Beef Lips (babines); the exact mix is agreed with each buyer.
Do you sell less than a full container?
No. This corridor is quoted in full container loads (FCL) of about 26 t net (25–27.5 t depending on product and packing), which keeps the landed cost per kilo competitive. Mixed loads combining several items in one container are possible.
Which Incoterm applies?
Quotes default to CIF Tema: the seller pays freight and insurance. Under CFR, the seller pays freight and the buyer insures the goods. Under FOB, the buyer books and pays the freight. CPT is also available on request.
Who handles frozen-food import clearance in Ghana?
Ghana's Veterinary Services Directorate and Food and Drugs Authority are involved in permits and clearance. Importers should confirm the current procedure with both authorities.
What is generally required for clearance at Tema?
An import permit and a health certificate from the competent authority at origin are generally required, alongside the standard commercial and customs documents.
