Shipping cargo to Ghana from Dalston (E8)? Rolats offers free collection from Ridley Road Market, Kingsland High Street and Dalston Junction straight to our depot at 494 Gale Street, Dagenham. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus a £20 handling fee into Kotoka, Accra within days; sea freight starts at £70 per bag to the Port of Tema in roughly 4-6 weeks. We raise your CTN before sailing and deliver door-to-door across Ghana, all-in GBP with nothing to pay on arrival.
Sending barrels from Dalston's African heart
Dalston is one of East London's true African crossroads, and Ridley Road Market has sold plantain, yam, gari and dried fish to Ghanaian families for decades. When you fill a barrel with shito, palm oil and provisions from the stalls off Kingsland High Street, Rolats collects it free and ships it to your people in Accra or Kumasi. No dragging drums to the Overground at Dalston Kingsland - we come to your door.
Air freight to Accra at £5.90 per kg
For urgent loads - documents, laptops, medicines, a suitcase of clothes for a funeral - air freight is the fastest route. It costs £5.90 per kilo plus a single £20 handling charge, and your cargo lands at Kotoka International Airport in a matter of days. We weigh everything transparently at the Dagenham depot so there are no surprises.
Sea freight from £70 a bag to Tema
Most Dalston families ship by sea because it is the cheapest way to move volume. A 'Ghana Must Go' bag or barrel starts at just £70 and sails into the Port of Tema in around four to six weeks. It is ideal for building materials, furniture, bulk foodstuffs and everything you cannot justify sending by air.
Cars and containers, quoted for you
Shipping a car from Hackney to Ghana, or filling a shared or full container? We handle vehicles and consolidated loads out of Dagenham and quote each one individually. As an HMRC Customs Authorised forwarder with a full EORI, we handle the UK export paperwork properly the first time.
Door-to-door, all-in GBP
You pay one clear price in pounds here in London. We raise the CTN (also called the ASHI or UCR) before your goods sail, clear customs through ICUMS, and deliver to the recipient's door - whether that is Osu, Kaneshie, Suame in Kumasi or a village in the Volta Region. Nothing to pay in Ghana.
