The suspects were reported to have diverted six 20-footer containers of assorted canned drinks and lubricants from the transit yard at the Tema Port to a warehouse at Tabora, a suburb of Accra on May 3, 2018. High duty goods“The description under the transit category meant that the goods are not for local consumption and, therefore, cannot go under the examinable policy,” he stated. He said the Command had in recent times noticed that the smuggling of high duty and excised goods were on the increase. Self-styled agentsDr Appiah also expressed worry over what he said was a rise in the falsification of figures on import duty by self-styled clearing agents operating at the Tema Port.
