FABAG Blames Rising Smuggling on High Import Duties.

The Freight Forwarders and Border Agents Association of Ghana (FABAG) has attributed the growing trend of goods smuggling to Ghana’s high import duty rates. The group warns that the country is losing significant revenue as traders divert shipments to neighboring ports with lower tariffs. FABAG is calling on the government to review its import tax structure to make Ghana’s ports more competitive and curb the surge in illegal trade activities.
