The Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana (IEAG) has urged the government to address the challenges of the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS) to ensure that the country reaps its full transformative benefits.
The ICUMS is a computerised system that manages customs process for imports and exports, and was introduced in Ghana in 2020 to replace the previous Information Technology (IT) system of the Ghana Customs Management System and the Westblue System.
It is operated by Ghana Link Services Limited in collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, the Executive Secretary of the IEAG, Mr Samson Asaki Awingobit, highlighted some achievements of the ICUMS, such as the streamlining of custom processes to enhance revenue mobilisation and improve trade facilitation.
