Customs officers working for the Ghana Revenue Authority have stopped a large shipment of goods at the Tema port. These goods had not been properly declared and had no customs duties paid on them.
The items taken include many electronics and textiles. The authorities say the value of these goods is in the thousands of Ghana cedis.
This action by the customs division is part of efforts to ensure all goods entering the country are accounted for according to law.
Investigations are now focused on finding out who imported these goods illegally. The Ghana Revenue Authority aims to bring the responsible individuals to justice.
Those found to have imported uncustomed goods can face legal penalties. This includes fines and possibly jail time.
The seizure highlights the ongoing efforts to prevent smuggling and protect legitimate businesses in Ghana.
