Cargoes remain uncleared at the port due to election - Tema Customs Sector Commander
The Assistant Commissioner in Charge of the Tema Collection of Customs, Joseph Adu-Kyei, has revealed that a lot of cargoes remain uncleared at the Port of Tema prior to the 2020 general elections.
He said even though these checks at the Port reveal that containers are coming into the country, importers have failed to come and clear them.
“Checking from MPS, even though containers are coming people are not clearing, all because of uncertainties around the elections,” he said.
The AC also revealed some significant decline over the course of the year which he attributed to the effects of coronavirus as well as the challenges that emerged from the introduction of a new Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS).
