Straight answers
Can I import a right-hand drive truck?
No — Ghana's road traffic law prohibits right-hand steering vehicles without special ministerial authority.
What is the GSA requirement?
Ghana Standards Authority conformity replaced the older EasyPass route; arrange it before shipment.
Are used trucks allowed?
Yes, but age-based penalties apply, so a newer remanufactured unit can be more economical.
