R Trucks quotation and preparation scope
Normal preparation is 30–45 working days after deposit to a Chinese port. Ocean transit and destination clearance are additional. Payment is 30% deposit and 70% before shipment. R Trucks and Heavy Machinery provides a 12-month warranty on the engine, gearbox and rear axle; wear parts are excluded and the written sales contract defines the scope. Reference guide prices depend on configuration and delivery basis.
Buying a HOWO truck for Ghana
GSA's published vehicle-import programme applies to shipments from 1 October 2026. It distinguishes new-model homologation from used-vehicle pre-shipment conformity inspection and certification. Confirm the applicable registration, inspection and Certificate of Conformance requirements before shipment; a workshop video does not replace official conformity evidence.
GSA vehicle-import notices and FAQs. Checked 2 November 2026; confirm requirements again for the actual truck and shipment.
Compare the truck and the complete import cost
Choose a HOWO 371 tipper for loose materials or a HOWO 371 tractor head for trailer work. The HOWO 371 comparison identifies the reference builds; your quotation must identify the actual configuration.
Separate EXW vehicle cost, China inland and port costs, ocean freight, insurance, customs charges, clearing and local delivery. Use the import-cost worksheet with dated quotations. Do not treat an EXW guide price as the delivered price.
For a refurbished truck, agree the preparation work and inspection evidence before paying. Send the model, condition, quantity, destination and intended load with your enquiry.

What to get right before you order
- 01Order left-hand drive and confirm it on the quotation. GRA restricts right-hand-steering imports; do not assume a conversion or special approval will be accepted.
- 02For a refurbished truck, ask for the original vehicle identity and age documents, the work list and inspection scope. A rebuilt vehicle retains its underlying vehicle history.
- 03Use the chassis number, model, year and make for your clearing agent’s GRA and ICUMS assessment. The EXW price is not the full cost of putting a truck to work in Ghana.
- 04Confirm the required Ghana inspection and conformity documents for the exact truck before shipment. Obtain written guidance from the relevant authority or your clearing agent.
- 05Agree the Tema shipping quotation, insurance and local responsibilities. Preparation at a Chinese port, sea transit and Ghana clearance are separate stages.
