HS CodeProductDutyTax
4015.12Surgical and examination glovesMinistry of Health and teaching-hospital supply may qualify for exemption≈ 5–10% (ECOWAS CET)15% VAT plus statutory levies

Pre-Shipment Conformity Inspection

Ghana Standards Authority conformity assessment applies to regulated goods. It is a lighter regime than Nigeria's SONCAP, and importers moving between the two markets often over- or under-prepare by assuming they are equivalent.

Entry Ports & In-Land Clearance

Tema handles most medical cargo and is markedly better run than Lagos; Takoradi serves the west. Ghana operates a paperless clearance system (ICUMS), and clearance is comparatively quick where the classification and valuation are clean.

Public Healthcare Procurement

Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service tender centrally; teaching hospitals also buy directly. FDA registration is a precondition for bidding.

OEM & private label for Ghana

We manufacture private-label medical devices and surgical consumables in our own factory and at vetted partner factories for brand owners, distributors and pharmacy chains in Ghana.
