How much does it cost to ship frozen embryos to Ghana?
Ghana has no fixed price list yet, so each route is quoted one by one. For reference, our Nigeria route is $4,900 to $5,500 and Ghana is priced separately because the flights and the receiving clinic are different.
| Route | Examples | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| US to Ghana | Houston to Accra | Quoted per route |
Prices are in US dollars and cover the courier, flights, a charged dry vapour shipper and the chain of custody paperwork. Import permits and clinic fees are separate.
What moves the price: the departure city, whether the flight needs a connection, how many nights the courier waits for the clinic, and the number of shippers. Send your two cities and a rough date and we put a number on it.
Can you ship embryos internationally to Ghana?
Yes. Frozen embryos travel to Accra with a courier, not in cargo. The US clinic releases the material, the courier carries it, and the clinic in Accra accepts it. Ghana has its own import requirements and each clinic has its own forms, so the first step is asking the receiving clinic what it needs.
The clinics hold the embryos and handle release and import paperwork. We coordinate the transport and the handover, and we tell you what the receiving clinic says it needs so nothing surprises you on arrival.
How a transfer to Accra runs
- Step 1
Release
The US clinic confirms the release date and prepares the straws or canes.
- Step 2
Pickup
Our courier collects, checks the ID list and signs the chain of custody form.
- Step 3
Seal
The charged dry vapour shipper is sealed and the seal number is recorded.
- Step 4
Fly
The courier flies with the shipper in the cabin, usually with one connection, and keeps a temperature log for the whole trip.
- Step 5
Handover
The clinic in Accra checks the seal and contents, and both sides sign.
Security at the airport is handled with a do-not-X-ray letter. See our no X-ray protocol.
Bringing embryos from Ghana to the USA
The same route works in the other direction. The clinic in Accra releases the embryos, a courier carries them to the US, and the US clinic accepts them with a customs entry. Tell us the two clinics and your dates and we confirm whether we can take it.
The US side is covered in our guide to US customs entry for embryo imports.
