According to the GRA, the success of ICUMS can be attributed to the decentralisation of clearance processes from the Customs Technical Services Bureau. Due to this, GRA exceeded its revenue target in August and November 2020 from the ports despite the negative impact of the coronavirus on the global shipping business. In August, ICUMS was responsible for the revenue target being exceeded,” he added. According to him, this has eliminated the multiple routes one had to go through before the payment of duties, which is a hallmark of the ICUMS system.
