The Ghana Shippers' Authority (GSA) has begun a nationwide sensitisation of shippers on the mandatory registration of shippers on the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS) in accordance with the Ghana Shippers' Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1122). On Wednesday, 5th August 2026, a sensitisation program was organised for executives of Freight Forwarding Associations at the Ghana Shippers’ House. Officials of the GSA and Ghana Link Network Services Ltd. subsequently demonstrated the ICUMS registration process and responded to stakeholders' questions to facilitate a smooth implementation. During the discussions, freight forwarders appealed for the implementation deadline to be extended to Monday to 31st August 2026, to allow additional time for stakeholder sensitisation and compliance. The President of the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF), Mr. Stephen Adjokatcher, and the Chairman of the GIFF Tema Chapter, Mr. Johnny Mantey, encouraged freight forwarders to ensure that importers complied with the approved GH¢720 Container Administrative Charge, emphasising the need for industry-wide support.
