Sending cargo to Ghana from Dartford (DA1)? Rolats collects free from Dartford High Street, Lowfield Street, The Orchards and Temple Hill. You are practically on our doorstep — our Dagenham depot at 494 Gale Street is just over the Dartford Crossing. Air freight is £5.90/kg plus a £20 handling fee into Accra in days; sea freight starts at £70 per bag via the Port of Tema in around 4-6 weeks. The CTN is raised before sailing, we handle door-to-door delivery all across Ghana, priced all-in in GBP with nothing to pay on arrival.
Right by the crossing — closest town to our depot
Dartford is arguably the easiest town of all to ship from, because you are one bridge away from us. Cross the QEII or dip through the Dartford Crossing tunnel and you are minutes from 494 Gale Street in Dagenham. That closeness means quick free collections from anywhere in DA1 — Temple Hill, Stone, the town centre around Lowfield Street, or the estates behind The Orchards shopping centre. Whether it is two Ghana Must Go bags or a full pallet, we come to your door.
Air freight to Accra — £5.90/kg
For clothes, documents, laptops, medicine and anything urgent, air freight is the answer. We charge £5.90 per kilo plus a one-off £20 handling fee, and your goods fly into Kotoka International Airport in Accra within days. It is the route Dartford families use when a birthday, funeral or school term back home will not wait.
Sea freight and barrels from £70 a bag
For the bigger, heavier loads — barrels of gari, shito, dried fish and palm oil, furniture, building materials — sea is the affordable choice. Bags start at £70 and sail into the Port of Tema, clearing through ICUMS in roughly 4-6 weeks. Load your barrel at home in Dartford and we handle the rest, right to the recipient's door.
Cars and containers to Ghana
Shipping a car or a shared container from Dartford? We quote both. Vehicles go RoRo or in a container to Tema, and we arrange the paperwork, the CTN and onward delivery to Accra, Kumasi or your home region. Send us the details and we will price it clearly.
One price in pounds — nothing to pay in Ghana
Every Rolats quote is all-in and in GBP. We raise the CTN (also called the ASHI or UCR) before your cargo sails, clear it through Ghana customs, and deliver door-to-door. Your family in Ghana pays nothing on arrival — a big relief when relatives are already stretched. We have done this since 2007, we are HMRC Customs Authorised, and we hold a 4.7/5 rating.
