Provision for pre-arrival processing is outlined in Section 50 of Customs Act 2015 (Act 891)
The deployment of ICUMS in 2020 nationally has facilitated pre-arrival processing and widely used by the trading community. This was validated during meetings with private sector representatives who indicated that this has reduced the average dwell time of consignments.
On this basis, Ghana is satisfied that it has met the requirements of this measure.
