Ghana inaugurates e-manifest system at Accra's prinicipal airport
ACCRA's Kotoka International Airport (KIA) recently implemented its new e-manifest system run by Ghanaian Customs.
The e-manifest system has been deployed by technical partners of the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority, WestBlue Consulting.
The company's system will allow customs officials to access advance information on all cargo arriving in the country by air in real time, reported Ghana's Maritime & Transport Digest, an organ of the Ghana's Shippers Authority, formerly known as the Ghana Shippers Council.
This is a departure from the current practice in which customs officials have to shuttle from one airline to another in search of such information.
Airport customs chief Theresa Kyei Asare made the announcement of the commencement of the system at an IATA Advance Cargo Information workshop in Accra recently.
"The e-manifest system will simplify the process and make the clearing system faster," she said.
"For example, if you are supposed to deliver the goods within 48 hours, with the electronic manifest we will be able to deliver within 24 hours or even at a shorter time," she said.
Ms Asare said e-manifests will allow a seamless dissemination of information on all cargo due in the country by air to all relevant stakeholders in real time.
