How DutyCalc GH works
A clear, end-to-end flow built for Ghanaian importers and clearing agents.
1. Tell us what you're importing
Pick vehicle or goods. For vehicles, enter make, model, year, engine and CIF. For goods, upload your Bill of Lading, invoice, and packing list — our AI reads them.
2. We do the math
DutyCalc GH applies the latest 2026 ECOWAS CET, GRA tariffs, and levies — including the 2026 removal of the COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy. Per-item HS classification is automated for goods.
3. Get a branded estimate
Itemised tax stack on screen, plus a clean PDF. Save your history, share estimates, and budget your shipment with confidence.

A note on accuracy
For vehicles, customs uses an internal Home Delivery Value (HDV) database — not the price you paid abroad — to determine the assessable CIF. To remove the guesswork, we built a free Car Value lookup: paste your VIN and we'll pre-fill your CIF, so your estimate matches the value customs will actually use.
For goods, our AI reads your Bill of Lading, invoice and packing list and suggests an HS code per item. For sensitive shipments, confirm with a licensed customs house agent.
