The president of the Chamber of Freight Forwarders and Commerce (CFT), Dennis Amfo-Sefah, has stated that UNI-PASS will definitely overcome the difficulties that led to the total loss of freight clearance in ports.
While attributing the coupling to the sabotage activities of some detractors, Amfo-Sefah, denied the erroneous information that nothing was happening in the port; Rather, he explained that there were two sides to what was currently happening at the port of Tema.
A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency on Friday said “freight forwarders and merchants who have an entry list (BoE) have already registered in the system and we are at various stages of dispatch systems could move forward and clear. “
“The problem is with the applications and the entry of a new declaration, which the system does not accept, therefore, it stops at the Tema port,” the statement explained.
According to the statement, some of the stakeholders acted in bad faith, which resulted in challenges, but assured that things would work.
“Despite the fact that the Commissioner General wrote to all stakeholders announcing the implementation and deployment of the new single window ICUMS” Integrated Customs Management System “, he also ordered GCNet to continue to run its GICCS platform together with the ICUMS-uni-pass platform, to allow all existing BoEs that are already registered in the GICCS-GCnet system to complete their approval cycle while ICUMS-Uni-pass receives new UCR applications, CCVR stage to final approval cycle “
The directives, he said, were communicated to GCnet, West blue, ICUMS-Uni-pass and all interested parties by letters with reference numbers; CG / GRA / ICUMS-PN / 04/20 of April 24, 2020; CG / GRA / ICUMS / 04/20 of April 24, 2020, and CG / GRA / ICUMS-3/04/20 of April 27, 2020.
“This was to ensure that freight forwarders and merchants who have already received the ‘CCVR’ Classification and Customs Valuation Report from the old ‘PAARS’ Pre-Arrival Assessment Report System that is administered by West Blue use their CCVRs. “
However, he said, “The cargo and trade community only showed up to work on Tuesday to surprisingly discover that the Gcnet systems were down.
The statement called on all interested parties who failed to fulfill their roles to apologize to merchants and cargo agents at the port of Tema and compensate them for the
waste of time and money “
Black man is capable of managing his own affairs “This is a famous quote from the first President of the Republic, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, it is time for state institutions to manage their own affairs to prevent some of these challenges in the near future “
Activities at the Port of Tema were halted on Monday when it realized that the new port management platform that the government had hired to install CUPIA Korea had been affected by difficulties.
The difficulties that arose in the early days of UNIPAS implementation led to public misinformation that the UNIPAS system with which the government attempted to replace the GC Net system is not a good one.
The CFT statement congratulated Ghanaian workers on World Labor Day.
