How does a compliant vehicle move from a seller abroad to Ghana? The process can be understood as a 7-step chain:

Select the vehicle: Choose an eligible vehicle under Ghana's requirements.
Verify the vehicle: Check identity, age, condition, and history.
Book inspection: Arrange conformity verification through authorized channels.
Inspection: Physical assessment against standards.
Certification: Issuance of Certificate of Conformity.
Shipment: Proceed with export after certification.
Arrival & Clearance: Clear customs seamlessly at Tema or Takoradi.

Compliance begins before the ship sails.
