Ghana Customs Status & U.S. Trade Treatment
Tariff treatment, trade-agreement coverage, and live monthly U.S. import/export data for Ghana.
As of April 2026, the United States imported $163.0M/month and exported $130.5M/month with Ghana. This page covers Ghana's customs status, applicable trade agreements, and the practical tariff treatment U.S. importers and exporters should expect.
Trade overview
Ghana exports gold, cocoa, and crude oil to the United States, with gold consistently ranking as the highest-value commodity in the bilateral trade relationship. Cocoa and cocoa-derived food products are subject to FDA entry review and Foreign Supplier Verification Program requirements, while gold and precious metal shipments require accurate valuation and may involve anti-money-laundering compliance considerations. Ghana's relatively stable political environment and functioning port infrastructure at Tema make it one of West Africa's more reliable sourcing origins for US importers.
