The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has asked the public to disregard claims attributed to the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders that import duties have been increased. This is because import duties have not been increased. A statement from the GSA said only Parliament had the power to impose charges which then become legally enforceable. "It is only when Parliament has approved fees and charges that Ministries, Agencies and Departments of Government are charged to collect these levies on behalf of Government," it said. According to Prof Alex Dodoo, Director-General of the GSA, Parliament approved new fees and charges that the GSA has to collect for the “delivery of goods and services to the public”.
