Moving to Ghana? We handle the whole journey.

Sea shipments typically take five to eight weeks from departure. Air freight takes three to five business days. Add time at the front for packing and loading, and at the back for customs clearance and delivery. Port congestion, vessel schedules, customs and holidays can extend sea transit, and we update you whenever a date moves.

It depends on volume, what is in the load, whether a vehicle is included and how fast you need it. That is why we quote rather than publish a rate card, a household of three rooms and a full four bedroom house are not the same shipment. Send us a list or photos and you will have a written quote, usually within one business day.

We collect from your address. Our team or an approved carrier handles pickup anywhere in the United States. You can also drop off at our Lawrenceville warehouse if that suits you better.

Yes, within Accra and the surrounding areas our own drivers deliver to your door and bring items inside. For destinations further out, including Kumasi, we arrange onward transport by an approved carrier such as STC or VIP and tell you where and when to collect. We do not have a Kumasi branch and we will not pretend otherwise.

Usually yes. Ghana charges import duties and port fees on household goods, with the amount depending on the items and their assessed value. Personal effects relief may apply in some cases. We tell you what is expected before the charges are incurred, and we handle the clearing process itself.

Most people split. Send the furniture and appliances by sea, and put the first two weeks of your life, clothes, laptops, documents, school things, medication, on an air shipment that arrives before you finish unpacking. We will suggest the split when we quote.

Yes. Cars, SUVs and pickups ship containerized or RORO depending on the vehicle and the schedule. We can tow it to the loading point if you are outside Georgia, and we clear it at Tema. Bring the title, we will tell you what else is needed.

We can, and for fragile, oversized or awkward items we would rather. You are also welcome to pack yourself, just label the boxes and keep a list, since customs may ask for one.

Not unless you ask us to, or unless there is visible damage, a security or compliance requirement, or customs or the carrier requires it. We do not open or consolidate shipments on our own initiative.

We are confirming the exact wording of our current coverage for this page. Ask your moving coordinator for the current insurance options and how a claim is filed before your move.

We send updates at every stage: received, awaiting loading, departed with an ETA, ETA changes, arrived, under clearance, ready for delivery, by WhatsApp and email. You can also check the status yourself any time through our tracking page or your myHobort account.

Tell us immediately. We photograph and record every piece when it is received, so we can compare against that record, investigate handling and carrier responsibility, and resolve it. We would rather fix it than argue about it.

Short-term storage before loading can usually be arranged. Let us know when you enquire so we can plan warehouse space and tell you about any storage charges.

Often yes, but never as ordinary cargo. These are regulated dangerous goods that need correct classification, packaging, labelling and airline acceptance. Tell us what you have and we will tell you whether it goes by air, by sea, or not at all.

As early as you can, six to eight weeks before you want to arrive is comfortable for a sea move. That said, we move people on short notice regularly. Call us even if your dates are tight.
