A compressive report was prepared and is available on Customs website and will be reported and discussed at the next National Trade Facilitation Committee (NTFC) meeting. Report recommendations will be considered for implementation. Future TRS dates will determine by NTFC. On this basis, Ghana is satisfied that it has met the requirements of this measure.
