14 October 2024 — G/TFA/N/GHA/4Provision for Authorized Operators (AO) is outlined in Section 8 of Customs Act 2015 (Act 891).Following the process of due diligence six (6) applicants have were originally granted AO status. This has recently been increased to eight (8) and applicants are being considered. The ICUMS platform is automatically routing related consignments to the “blue channel” for future PCA activity. This was validated during a meeting with a private sector representative, an accredited AO, who had a good understanding of the process and the related benefits. On this basis, Ghana is satisfied that it has met the requirements of this measure. |
