Vehicle Import Rules

Name: Ghana Vehicle Import Rules
Creator: Ghana Revenue Authority, Customs Division

How Ghana's customs values and taxes an imported vehicle: the duty rate by type and engine size, the share of the first purchase price used as the value by age (Customs Act, 2015, s.60), and the overage penalty by age for cars, buses and trucks (the Schedule to s.57). A Customs Act, 2026 was signed in August 2026 and may change these once it commences. 29 records.
