Export Toyota 4Runner to Ghana
The Toyota 4Runner ships from Jebel Ali Free Zone as a brand-new, factory-built SUV. FOB pricing at Jafza ranges from approximately $48,000 USD for base petrol trims to $62,000 USD for fully equipped models. This reflects the global lineup available for export—entry-level configurations through premium variants with enhanced comfort and safety features.
Once your 4Runner reaches the Port of Tema in Accra, landed cost (FOB plus freight and insurance) typically runs $54,000–$71,000 USD. This estimate assumes RoRo (roll-on/roll-off) shipping, the standard method for sub-Saharan African ports, which adds approximately 10–14% to the FOB price. Coastal West African ports like Tema handle significant vehicle traffic, so transit is predictable and costs remain stable.
Ghana's import duty on used and new vehicles varies by tariff classification and engine size, but customs brokers routinely assess additional charges of 20–35% of CIF value on top of these landed costs. We recommend confirming duty with a local clearing agent before purchase, as final total depends on your specific trim and engine displacement.
Trim selection is the primary driver: base models cost less to ship and clear than range-topping variants with leather, navigation, and all-wheel-drive systems. Engine size matters for duty purposes—larger displacement petrol engines may incur higher tariff rates under Ghana's HS codes.
Freight method and timing also play a role. RoRo is standard and cost-effective for Tema; containerization is costlier but occasionally chosen for high-value inventory. Seasonal port congestion in Ghana's rainy season can delay clearance and incur storage fees.
Final price also reflects fuel-market preferences in Ghana. Petrol demand is strong, so petrol 4Runners clear faster and command steadier resale value than diesel variants. Work with your clearing agent early to budget accurately for duty and local taxes.
