Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson has ordered that the Customs Technical Services Bureau be recentralised. This decision is part of a plan to strengthen border security.
The goal is to stop money from being lost to the state. The minister believes this new approach will improve how goods are valued.
This move is expected to create a one-stop shop for customs valuation. It aims to make the process clearer and more efficient for businesses.
Improved intelligence sharing within the Ghana Revenue Authority is also a key aim. This will help detect and prevent revenue leakages more effectively.
Dr. Forson explained that this measure is necessary to ensure all eligible revenue is collected.
Details regarding the implementation timeline have not yet been released.
The recentralisation is expected to enhance the government's ability to manage customs operations.
