Verzollungsprozess
Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Customs Division uses ICUMS (Integrated Customs Management System) since 2020, replacing older GCNet/CUSDEC systems. ECOWAS Common External Tariff applies (5 bands: 0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 35%). Tema port is the main entry point, new MPS Terminal 3 expanding capacity. Kotoka International Airport for air cargo. Pre-arrival processing available. Tax Identification Number (TIN) mandatory.
Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist
Improving with ICUMS but still challenging. Tema port congestion causes delays, though MPS Terminal 3 is expanding capacity. Benchmark (reference) values sometimes override declared values, leading to higher duties than expected. Use licensed customs broker. Express couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) operate reliably. Kotoka Airport customs reasonably efficient for air freight.
