Export Toyota Hiace to Ghana
Toyota Hiace diesel vans at Jafza start around USD 28,000 for the standard panel van configuration and reach approximately USD 38,000 for higher-spec commuter or crew variants. These are factory-fresh prices before any freight, insurance, or import duties. The entry-level panels suit businesses moving cargo; mid-range crew vans accommodate 12–14 passengers and command a premium for passenger transport operators.
Shipping a Hiace from Dubai to Accra or Tema typically costs USD 2,500 to USD 3,500 by RoRo vessel, a standard method for light commercial vehicles in West African trade. Insurance adds roughly 2–3% of the FOB value. Your landed cost—that is, FOB plus freight and insurance but before Ghana's import duty—ranges between USD 31,500 and USD 42,500 depending on trim. Ghana applies a 35% tariff on imported motor vehicles, plus VAT on the duty-inclusive value, so budget for an additional USD 11,000–USD 15,000 in total duties and taxes on top of the landed price.
Trim level drives the biggest variance: a basic panel van costs less than a crew cab with air conditioning and power steering. Diesel engines are standard across the Hiace lineup and offer strong running costs in Ghana's climate and road conditions. Your final landed cost also depends on the chosen shipping vessel schedule and port of discharge—Tema port near Accra is the main entry, though fees and handling times can vary seasonally. Work with a customs broker in-country to clarify real-time duty rates and any applicable tax holidays or sectoral incentives for commercial transport operators. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, so lock in your USD price early once you select a specific trim and shipping date.
