Update, October 9, 2026: On October 5, 2026 the Ghana Standards Authority suspended the pre-shipment inspection of imported used vehicles that was due to start on October 1 under GS 4510, and said a new date will be announced. Where this article mentions the inspection or the Certificate of Conformity, treat that step as on hold for now. Reports on the used-vehicle age limit also conflict. Check the current rules with us on WhatsApp at +1 (551) 800-2125 before you buy or ship a vehicle.

For Togo, the service is similar: we handle pickup, ocean freight to Lomé, customs clearance, and delivery to your recipient's door.

Car Shipping from New York to Togo
We ship cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and commercial trucks from New York to Togo. For vehicles, we use RoRo (roll-on, roll-off) ocean freight, or flat rack, open top or breakbulk as the cargo requires. This includes sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks and minivans. We also work with customers who purchase vehicles at US auto auctions and need the car exported to Togo. We coordinate pickup directly from the auction lot and handle all export documents.
USA and Canada vehicle, equipment and container shipments are quoted per job. This ensures you receive an accurate price based on your specific vehicle, its condition, and the port of departure. Contact us for a written quote.
The Port of Lomé is a gateway not only to Togo but also to landlocked ECOWAS neighbors including Burkina Faso and Mali. Many customers shipping vehicles to these countries transit through Lomé.
Heavy Equipment and Container Shipping to Togo
We ship heavy equipment and machinery to Togo using RoRo, flat rack, open top or breakbulk as the cargo requires. We also offer full container (FCL) and shared container (LCL) shipments. Whether you are moving construction equipment, agricultural machinery or commercial goods, we can arrange the appropriate method.
For USA and Canada equipment and container shipments, rates are quoted per job. This allows us to account for the size, weight and specific handling requirements of your cargo.

Ghana Vehicle Import Standard GS 4510
If you are shipping a vehicle to Ghana, note that the Ghana vehicle import standard GS 4510 was due to take effect on October 1, 2026, but its pre-shipment inspection was suspended on October 5, 2026, with a new date to be announced. When enforced, it requires a pre-shipment inspection and a Certificate of Conformity. While this applies to Ghana, it is important to be aware of regional regulations if your cargo transits through Ghana to Togo. We can guide you on compliance.
Why Choose Guldstreet Shipping for Togo
