Minority demands permanent scrapping of GSA’s $300 PVoC charge on imported vehicles

The Minority in Parliament has called on the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) to permanently scrap its proposed Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) requirement for imported vehicles, arguing that the policy would increase costs for importers and consumers.

Minority wants permanent withdrawal Mr Baafi said the GSA should scrap the policy rather than suspend it, arguing that a suspension could leave room for the requirement to be reintroduced later.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, October 8, Mr Baafi said Ghana imports slightly more than 100,000 vehicles annually, with between 70% and 80% being used and overage vehicles.
