Importers demand downward review of new port tariffs

The Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana has impressed on the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority GPHA to reduce the proposed 20 percent increase on import charges to 15 percent. 

The Association says although the 20 percent tariff increment may be justifiable, a further reduction will ease the cost of operations of its members. 
 
The GPHA on Friday, December 15th 2017, met the Importers and Exporters Association of Ghana over plans to review port tariffs on imports from 2018.

But in an interview with Radio Ghana, the Executive Secretary of the Association, Sampson Awingobit said although GPHA has the right to increase tariffs, it must do so with the consumer in mind.
