Ghana Community Network (GCNet) has restored its systems following the challenges witnessed at the ports with the newly introduced Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS) – UNIPASS.
According to Joy News’ Tema Correspondent Kwame Yankah, there is currently a long queue at the port. Speaking to JoyBusiness, a clearing agent at the Tema port, Mr Collins Appiah, said, “Now the system is working, I only have to advise my colleagues that because the backload is plenty, it will take a little bit of time for your declaration to come to enable you to make payment at the bank. For now, I have gone through the process…now we are smiling”
Mr Appiah added, “There is a queue here because of the pressure. Since Monday nobody has been able to clear goods at the port. The system came less than thirty minutes ago and everybody is rushing.”
UNIPASS was introduced by the government to replace the single window platform– Ghana Customs Management System (GCMS) – from GCNet and West Blue Consult at the ports.
GRA started using the system on Tuesday, April 28, 2020, amidst some technical challenges.
