ICUMS registration: Freight forwarders request deadline extension
The Ghana Shippers' Authority (GSA) commenced a nationwide sensitisation exercise to educate shippers on the mandatory registration of importers and exporters on the Integrated Customs Management System (ICUMS), in line with the Ghana Shippers' Authority Act, 2024 (Act 1122). As part of this initiative, the GSA on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, organised a sensitisation programme for executives of freight forwarding associations at the Ghana Shippers' House.
The exercise is being carried out in collaboration with the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and Ghana Link Network Services Ltd. The engagement focused on promoting compliance with Section 26(1) of Act 1122, which requires all importers and exporters to register with the Authority before processing shipment transactions through the ICUMS platform. Freight forwarders appealed for an extension of the implementation deadline to Monday, August 31, 2026, to allow more time for stakeholder engagement and compliance. Mrs Sylvia Asana Dauda Owu, Deputy Chief Executive Officer in charge of Technical Services at the GSA, acknowledged the request.
