Ghana: used machinery and the G-CAP / CoC
Used machines entering Ghana need age, hours and conformity documents aligned.
Key points
- Used machinery entering Ghana is checked on age, hours and safety devices alongside conformity documents, and declarations must match the nameplate.
- G-CAP is run by the Ghana Standards Authority and covers electronics, machinery and building materials.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
