Importers, exporters and Ghana’s trading community at large, has expressed dissatisfaction over the revised fees and charges for registration of importers by the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA).

This was disclosed by the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF) in a letter to the GSA.

GIFF in the letter to GSA, requested for a meeting with the leadership of GSA to discuss the revised fees and charges and find amicable grounds prior to the implementation of the new charges.

“We will very much appreciate it if this meeting can be called this week at your earliest convenience. This has become necessary due to an outpour of dissatisfaction from our clients, the trading public, importers and exporters and pray that we find some amicable grounds prior to the implementation of these tariffs,” part of the letter read.

According to the GSA, the new fees and charges were approved by Parliament in 2019 for implementation in 2020, but was however, delayed by the Authority.

The GSA is the government agency responsible for developing and promoting standards in the country through standardisation and conformity assessment activities such as testing, inspecting as well as certifying products or services produced in Ghana for either local consumption or export, ensuring they are safe, reliable and of good quality.
