GRA clarifies absolute import prohibitions on selected goods  

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has recently clarified the concept of absolute import prohibitions to underscore their role in safeguarding the country. These prohibitions target goods deemed illegal by international trade standards, strictly banning them from entering Ghana due to various associated risks.

These risks include the potential to violate international trade laws, spread diseases, and cause destruction, thereby threatening the nation’s integrity and the well-being of its citizens.

Absolute import prohibitions are crucial for maintaining the integrity of Ghana’s borders and ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens. The GRA highlighted that these goods are not only illegal but also pose significant threats if allowed into the country.

This clarification was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, to educate the public about the dangers associated with absolute import prohibitions.

Furthermore, the GRA emphasized that beyond absolute prohibitions, certain goods require specific licenses, certificates, and other forms of approval before they can be imported. These regulatory measures ensure that such goods meet all statutory requirements and are safe for entry into the Ghanaian market.

The GRA’s detailed explanation aims to inform importers and the general public about the importance of these regulations and the necessity for strict compliance to protect both national and international interests.

This clarification comes in the wake of the importation of fake diapers, which led to a clampdown by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA). This incident underscores the importance of strict regulatory measures and public awareness in preventing the entry of harmful goods into the country.

Below is the table of prohibited items
