A Toyota Corolla import budget starts with the car price and sea freight to Tema, then adds insurance, Ghana customs charges, port clearance and delivery. This worked example uses a 2018 Corolla from our catalogue and separates the costs we can estimate from those that need a vehicle-specific quote.
| Item | Qty | Unit price | Line total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toyota Corolla 1.8L, 2018 | 1 | On quote | On quote |
| Sea-freight allowance to Tema | 1 | $2,700 | $2,700 |
| Cargo insurance | — | On quote | On quote |
| Ghana customs charges | — | On quote | On quote |
| Port handling, clearance and agent fees | — | On quote | On quote |
| Registration and delivery in Ghana | — | On quote | On quote |
Indicative prices come from the current catalogue. Totals use prices before display rounding. An unavailable item or a quantity below its current minimum needs a fresh quote. Freight reference: 2026-09. The freight allowance assumes two cars sharing a 40 ft container and includes loading and lashing in China. A confirmed three-car loading plan may lower the rate.
This example selects a 2018 Corolla with a 1.8-litre engine. Check its year, mileage and powertrain on the product page and the inspection report for the actual car. A cheaper Corolla of a different year or mileage is a different comparison.
The catalogue price is an indication for the vehicle in China. The written offer should itemise inspection, inland transport, export paperwork and loading so that an included service is not charged twice.
Add confirmed insurance, import charges, destination handling, agent fees, registration and inland delivery to the subtotal. Until these are known, there is no complete drive-away price.
Obtain a customs assessment for the exact vehicle before buying. Use the Ghana Revenue Authority guidance and the calculator linked by the authority when checking the assessment.
The route reference gives 32–42 days at sea to Tema. Inspection, document preparation, waiting for a sailing and clearance after arrival are additional.
No. The subtotal covers the listed vehicle and the indicative sea-freight allowance to Tema only. Insurance, customs charges, destination handling, clearance, registration and onward delivery still need to be confirmed.
A useful assessment needs the exact vehicle details and the applicable customs valuation. Obtain a vehicle-specific assessment before committing to the purchase; applying one percentage to the advertised price can misstate the budget.
The example stays available as a buying checklist. Its car price is replaced with a request for a fresh quote, and a replacement vehicle must be agreed before the budget can be completed.
No. The site takes no payment and holds no deposit. A request for quote creates no obligation, and nothing is charged until terms are agreed directly with a sourcing manager.
