PVoC enforced from 1 October 2026
Every used vehicle shipped to Ghana now needs a pre-export inspection. GVPIC checks your vehicle against GSA rules, books it at one of 70 EAA facilities worldwide, and tracks it to a verified Certificate of Conformance.
(01) — About
Ghana now inspects vehicles before they ship. GVPIC handles it from one place, from the first eligibility check to the certificate at the port.

Screened before you pay
We check the date of manufacture, mileage, damage history and speedometer against GSA rules before you book. A prohibited car is flagged straight away, before you pay or ship anything.

One booking, 17 countries
Book at any of 70 EAA inspection facilities across Japan, the USA, the UK, the UAE and more, with the GSA fee shown before you confirm.
- 03
Verified, not just printed
Buyers, clearing agents and customs can check any GVPIC certificate by number or VIN, so a fake can't pass as genuine.
