How to pay a Chinese supplier from Ghana
[DRAFT — review before publishing] Paying a supplier in China from Ghana is one of the first hurdles for new importers. NDL Cargo offers a supplier payment service as part of our Buy from China process.
1. Confirm your order with the supplier
Agree the product, quantity and price with your supplier in writing before any payment.
2. Send us a supplier payment request
Use the request form on our Buy from China page. We never ask for bank details, card numbers or PINs on the form — our team contacts you directly.
3. Goods delivered to our China warehouse
Ask your supplier to deliver to our Guangzhou or Yiwu warehouse with your shipping mark, then we ship to Ghana by sea from $230/CBM (35 to 45 days).
