Ghana has announced plans to implement the “First Port Duty Rule” in Ghana’s ports by the end of the year to tackle increasing smuggling arising from diverted transit goods supposedly meant for landlocked countries.

Under the First Port Duty Rule, customs officials from landlocked nations would be stationed at Ghana’s ports and importers would be directed to the appropriate country’s desk to pay the required duties.
