How much for a container full of Essien jerseys?

How much would I pay for a 20' shipping container from Tema, Ghana to New York? I know there are a lot of variables that will affect the answer, so I'm looking for a very rough estimate or range. Any information as to what variables are likely to affect the cost significantly would be so very helpful.
Thank you!

I was curious whether Tema has a port (it does) and found this possibly useful page listing some Ghanaian companies that handle this sort of thing.

Best answer: I don't have an exact number, but my father shipped a 20' container from Honolulu to Ghana for $3,000. He's done a fair bit of charity work in Ghana and knows what's involved with unloading & trucking as well.
If you want more details on Ghana, I can put you in touch with him. Sidemail me if you want.

Just call an international freight shipper and ask them for your locations. They should be able to price it pretty accurately, other than tarriff issues.
