Information gathered on shipping to and from Ghana and New York

Last Updated August 2026.

Shipping supplies and personal items to Ghana is common. But the process is somehow still confusing. Shipping time, packing, pick-up and more. Below is information the Agogoman Mma Kuo of NY could gather to help clear up shipping confusion.

Packing Supplies

How you ship your items in is just as important as the items themselves. Drums or "barrels" are most frequently used to ship internationally because of their large size, durability, stack-ability in shipment. You may have seen the blue shipping barrels at the market or back home [See Image Below]. Depending on the company, items can be shipped in boxes, totes, barrels, or whole shipping containers. But what you choose is important.

Imagine dropping your package down on the ground, BAM! Will your items survive? Think of this when preparing your shipment. For fragile items, wrapping and padding may be helpful. A container with more durability may be more suitable, packing fragile items well, may mean a successful delivery. For heavy items, ensure the container will not break.

What Can Be Shipped

Some items cannot be shipped to Ghana. Ensure you fill out the paperwork needed and check what is allowed.

Addresses in Ghana

Before sending your items off, make sure to write important information on the container. This includes:
