Costs as they land
Add the agent fee in week two and the duty in week seven. The running total is always right.
For importers bringing goods into Ghana
Three currencies.
Seven weeks.
One honest number.
The costs of a single shipment arrive scattered over weeks — the factory in RMB, freight in dollars, duty in cedis. Bandari holds them together and tells you what the deal actually made.
No card. No account fees while you try it.
The problem
One shipment. Four payments. Seven weeks apart.
By the time the duty is paid you've long forgotten what the RMB cost you. Most people guess the profit — and the guess is usually kind.
When What Paid Rate In cedis
Week 1 Goods, paid to the factory ¥12,000 2.15 25,800
Week 2 Agent fee ¥800 2.18 1,744
Week 5 Freight $430 15.60 6,708
Week 7 Customs duty at Tema GH₵4,100 — 4,100
True cost of the shipment GH₵38,352
Why the numbers stay true
Every payment remembers its own exchange rate.
Most trackers convert everything at today's rate, so last month's profit quietly changes every time the cedi moves. Bandari stores the rate you actually paid at, on each entry. Your margin from June still reads what it read in June.

On-time rate and average delay per forwarder, with the shipment count beside every figure.
A nudge before it lands
A notification a couple of days before a shipment is due, so nothing sits at the port.
