The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has informed importers that the Cargo Tracking Note (CTN) System takes effect from July 1, 2018.
For all shipments to Ghana (transit cargo included), shippers, exporters, and freight forwarders at the various ports of loading around the world are required to obtain a validated CTN number using the global online platform provided and submit same together with shipping instructions (SI) to their shipping lines. Each bill of lading must be covered by a valid CTN number.
