Flood-damaged, burnt and over-aged vehicles to be blocked under new GSA regime
The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has announced that it will begin enforcing the Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme for all vehicle imports from October 1, 2026, in a move aimed at improving road safety and preventing Ghana from becoming a destination for substandard vehicles.
The GSA believes the PVoC programme will improve the quality and safety of imported vehicles, provide better value for money for consumers and strengthen regulation within Ghana's automotive industry.
The digital platform will integrate data from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), insurance companies, Interpol, National Security and other institutions to enable real-time verification of imported vehicles.
