Ghana customs — the CTN, handled
Ghanaian imports require a CTN (Cargo Tracking Note, also known as ASHI/UCR) raised before the vessel sails, and clear through the ICUMS system on arrival. As an HMRC Customs Authorised, EORI-registered forwarder we raise the CTN and prepare the documentation so your cargo from Southend-on-Sea clears cleanly and isn't held.
