GUTA not happy with the transitional system of the UNIPASS system
The Ghana Union of Traders Association, GUTA has expressed disappointment over the implementation of Ghana Revenue Authority’s new Integrated Customs Management Systems, also known as UNIPASS.
According to the Union in a statement, the existing difficulties with the system which is causing delays are pushing them to pay more for demurrage and rent, a cost they cannot bear.
”Prior to the introduction of the UNIPASS system, we were briefed on the efficiency that the new system would bring to bear on the clearing process at the ports. It is, therefore, a surprise to us that the system is fraught with challenges that cause delay, which eventually cost the importer, in terms of demurrage and rent charges.”
“We want to know, who bears the cost of such demurrages and rent since the importer is not the cause of the problems in the implementation of the new system,” President of the group, Dr. Joseph Obeng added in the statement.
