Some importers and clearing agents who spoke to GhanaWeb lamented the slow pace at which their goods are being cleared from the ports. The affected persons have therefore called on the government to restore the operations of GCNET and rather shutdown UNI-PASS. One of the importers who spoke to the news team stressed that “The system is not working. He assured importers, clearing agents and freight forwarders that the challenges with the implementation of the new system will soon be fixed, to facilitate smooth running of businesses. Ghana Link Services Limited, which has a 10-year contract with the Government of Ghana as a technical partner, contracted CUPIA of Korea to deploy its electronic customs management system, called Universal Pass (UNI-PASS) which is now known as the Integrated Customs Management System ICUMS, for Ghana’s trade facilitation.
