Goldcoast Cargo Services Inc moves ocean freight to any African destination, with pickup available at your destination. Customs clearance is up to you: for consolidated shipments booked with us, we can clear your goods on arrival and hold them for pickup at destination. Shipping your own full container? You clear it at your port of destination — most clients use their own agent.
We ship it — and clearance is your choice. Most clients use their own clearing agent; for consolidated shipments booked with Goldcoast, we can clear your goods ourselves and hold them at the pickup point at your destination until you collect.
International ocean freight mainly to African destinations. Whether you are sending personal goods home, household items, or commercial cargo, we will advise the right container option for your load.
Clearance by Goldcoast is optional. We normally clear consolidated shipments — where many customers’ goods travel together in a container booked by us — so those goods arrive cleared and ready for warehouse pickup.
Prefer your own agent? That’s completely fine — clearance is entirely optional.
Pickup is not limited to Ghana: collection is available at destinations across Africa. For consolidated shipments cleared by Goldcoast, your goods are held for collection at the pickup point for your destination once cleared — in Ghana, that’s our Kasoa or Tema warehouse. Tell us your destination when you book, and collect in person once we confirm your shipment is ready.
Goldcoast Cargo Services Inc has been shipping from Montreal since 2007, serving the Ghanaian, Nigerian, Togolese, Burkinabe, Senegalese, Cameroonian and Ivorian communities — and the African community as a whole.
For nearly two decades, one principle has carried us:
“Trust is what we thrive on.”
A straightforward process. At step three you decide: Goldcoast clears your consolidated shipment, or your own agent clears your container at its destination port.
Use the quote builder below: where it’s coming from, what it is, size and weight, how clearance should be handled, and your pickup destination anywhere in Africa.
Your goods are booked and loaded for ocean freight to your African destination. Keep your shipment reference — you’ll need it at pickup.
Consolidated shipment booked with us? Goldcoast can clear it for you on arrival. Your own full container? You clear it at your port of destination, usually with your own agent.
If we cleared your goods, we let you know when they’re ready. Collect at your destination — in Ghana, from our Kasoa or Tema warehouse — with photo ID and your reference.
Pickup is available at any African destination, not only in Ghana. Consolidated shipments cleared by Goldcoast are collected from the pickup point at your destination — tell us the country and city when you request your quote. In Ghana, collect from our own warehouses in Kasoa or Tema, below.
📍 Tema — Port CityPickup point in Tema — ideal if you or your receiver are in Tema, Accra’s eastern side, or coming through the port area. Goods are held here after clearance until collection.
📍 Kasoa — Central RegionOur Ghana pickup point in Kasoa — convenient for customers in Kasoa, Accra’s western side and the Central Region. Same process for consolidated shipments: we can clear it, we hold it, you collect it. Shipping to another African destination? Pickup is arranged there instead — just name it in your quote request.
If it can go in a box, barrel or container, ask us. Tell us the items in your quote request so we can confirm the best way to ship them and flag anything that needs special handling or cannot be shipped.
Enter your shipment details — the builder works out your volume in cubic metres (CBM) and prepares a clean summary you can copy or download and share with Goldcoast to get your price. Clearance is optional: tell us if Goldcoast should clear your consolidated shipment, or if you’ll clear your own container at destination with your own agent.
It depends on how you ship. For consolidated shipments — many customers’ goods in a container booked by Goldcoast — we normally handle the clearance ourselves, and your goods are moved to the pickup warehouse for you. If you ship your own full container, you handle customs clearance at your port of destination; most clients use their own agent, especially for vehicles.
It’s when many customers’ items travel together in one container booked by Goldcoast. Because we booked the container, we can clear the whole shipment on arrival and hold your goods at the pickup point at your destination — in Ghana, our Kasoa or Tema warehouse. A full container you book yourself is different — you clear that one at your own port of destination.
At your destination — pickup is available across Africa, not only in Ghana. Consolidated shipments cleared by Goldcoast are collected from the pickup point at your destination; in Ghana, that’s our warehouse in Kasoa or Tema, which you choose at booking. For other African destinations, tell us the country and city in your quote request and we’ll confirm the pickup point. Please wait until we confirm your shipment is cleared and ready, then bring photo ID and your shipment reference. Full-container customers collect after clearing their container at their destination port.
Ocean freight pricing depends on the origin, the size/volume (CBM), weight and type of goods. Use the quote builder above to prepare your details — Goldcoast will confirm your exact price from that summary. We don’t publish fixed prices here because every shipment is different.
Sailing times vary by origin port and route, so we confirm an estimated timeline when we quote your specific shipment. If timing is urgent, mention it in your quote request notes.
Both. Full containers suit larger loads; shared (consolidated) containers suit boxes, barrels and smaller shipments. Note the clearance difference: with a shared container booked by Goldcoast, we can clear it for you; with your own full container, you handle clearance at your destination port. Tell us what you have and we’ll advise the better option.
