Premium graded credential used clothing, mixed rags, and uncut wipers shipped from Houston to Ghanaian importers via the Port of Tema. Container-load wholesale supply for Accra-based distributors, Kantamanto market traders, and re-sorters across Ghana since 2006.
Why Ghanaian importers choose US Dynamics
Ghana is one of West Africa’s largest secondhand clothing markets — Kantamanto in Accra alone moves an enormous volume of bales weekly. For nearly 20 years we have supplied Ghanaian importers, Kantamanto traders, and Tema-area re-sorters with the right mix for the local market: cotton-rich, summer-weight, well-graded credentials that hold resale value.
- Houston-based sorting and grading — full quality control on US soil. We do not re-aggregate from foreign brokers.
- Tema-ready documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, weight certificate, origin certificate, and BL/MBL packaged for Ghanaian customs and clearing agents.
- Tropical-weight mix — calibrated for the West African climate. Cotton T-shirts, summer dresses, lightweight tops perform strongest.
- Kantamanto-aware grading — we understand the resale dynamics of one of the world’s most active secondhand markets. Mix optimized for trader margin.
- Consistent supply — weekly container availability. Long-term relationships with multiple Ghanaian buyers.
What we ship to Ghana
Ghanaian importers typically build containers from a mix of these product categories. We adjust the grade ratio for what your specific downstream channel — wholesale, Kantamanto retail, or re-export — actually moves.
- Credential used clothing bales — Cream and Grade A perform strongest for direct-to-consumer Kantamanto resale. Cotton-rich, summer-weight emphasis.
- Mixed rags and credentials — institutional and ARC-origin. Strong for high-volume re-sorters supplying the broader West African market.
- Uncut industrial wipers — cotton, fleece, terry. For the industrial supply segment.
Port of Tema logistics
The Port of Tema is the primary entry point for used clothing into Ghana, handling the vast majority of containerized UC imports. From Tema, containers move inland by truck to Accra distribution centers, Kantamanto traders, and onward to Kumasi and other regional markets.
We coordinate with your local clearing agent in Tema or can recommend reliable partners if you are sourcing from the US for the first time.

Frequently asked questions — Ghana
Do you ship directly to Tema?
Yes. Tema is one of our primary West African destinations. We work with multiple Tema-based clearing agents and can recommend reliable partners if you do not already have one.
What is your minimum order?
Full container load (FCL) only — typically a 40-foot container. We do not sell partial loads or LCL shipments.
Can you adjust the mix for Kantamanto resale dynamics?
Yes. Cotton-rich, summer-weight mixes with strong category sorting (men’s, women’s, children’s) perform best for direct-to-trader resale. We help you optimize the container for your specific downstream channel.
How long from order to arrival at Tema?
Approximately 25–30 days from container loading in Houston. We confirm your loading week, send the booking confirmation, and provide vessel tracking once the container sails.
Can you mix product types in one container?
Yes. Mixed orders are common — credential bales plus mixed rags in the same 40-foot container. We work with you to optimize the grade ratio for what your specific market actually moves.
What documentation do you provide for Ghanaian customs?
Every shipment includes commercial invoice, packing list, weight certificate, origin certificate, and BL/MBL — the standard packet Tema clearing agents and Ghanaian customs require for used clothing imports.
