Why the BYD Song Plus DM-i sells in Ghana

Plug-in hybrid SUV: about 110 km of electric range for city work and a petrol engine for the highway, on a grid that may not have a charger.

An SUV is what most private buyers here actually order: enough ground clearance for the roads, five or seven seats, and a footprint that still parks in a city.

Ghana is the most favourable West African entry point right now. From 1 October 2026 the used-vehicle age limit widens from 10 to 15 years, which brings a far wider band of Chinese stock into scope at the same moment the region’s other markets are tightening.

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Ghana?

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Ghana?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty varies with engine size. 9 further lines stack on top: Overage penalty, NHIL, GETFund levy, COVID-19 Health Recovery Levy, ECOWAS Trade Liberalisation Scheme levy, AU import levy, Examination fee, Processing fee, VAT. Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I order a BYD Song Plus DM-i to Ghana?
Send the model, the model year and the destination port. You get the FOB or CIF price for units actually available, a video inspection before payment, and the document list this market requires. Payment runs on a deposit with the balance against the bill of lading.
What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Ghana?
15 years for shipments on or after 1 October 2026 (GSA / GS 4510). Customs applies its own overage penalty from above 10 years, which is a separate charge from the age prohibition.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Ghana?
Ghana drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Ghana Standards Authority rules apply by shipment date: vehicles shipped on or after 1 October 2026 need inspection in the country of origin by a GSA-approved body and a Certificate of Conformance before the ship sails, and importers must register with the GSA Vehicle Homologation Unit. The prohibition starts above 15 years and is separate from customs’ own overage penalty, which begins above 10 years and reaches 20% of CIF between 12 and 15 years. Flood or fire damaged vehicles, units assembled from spare parts, speedometers that cannot read km/h and vehicles with a bent chassis or safety cage are refused outright.
What is the landed cost of a 2022 BYD Song Plus DM-i in Ghana?
Our planning figure is $29,930 delivered and duty-paid at Tema and Takoradi: FOB, ocean freight and marine insurance, then the customs value that comes out of those three, then every levy Ghana stacks on top of it. Customs assesses on its own accepted value, so read it as the structure of the cost rather than as a quotation — and move the numbers yourself on this market’s duty page.
How long does shipping a BYD Song Plus DM-i to Ghana take?
RoRo and container sailings leave Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao or Guangzhou for Tema and Takoradi. Allow three to six weeks of transit depending on the lane and the sailing, plus one to two weeks for the customs entry at the destination. The booking, the loading date and the arrival window are confirmed in writing before any payment moves.
Can I register a BYD Song Plus DM-i in Ghana?
Ghana applies its own age limit and its own pre-shipment inspection. A 2022 unit sits inside that window and is loaded with the certificate this market asks for, which is why we quote the model year rather than a generic “used car”. If the limit tightens between ordering and shipping, the unit is swapped for one inside the new window at no extra cost.
Is a used BYD Song Plus DM-i cheaper to clear than a new one in Ghana?
Often yes, but not for the reason most buyers expect. The duty band follows engine capacity, while the levy on the vehicle itself is charged differently for new and used units in several of these markets. A 2022 unit lands for materially less than the equivalent new one on most lanes — which is why both numbers are quoted.
