The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Customs Division has issued a warning to travellers arriving in Ghana with more than two mobile phones. These devices may be treated as commercial imports and subjected to customs duty, according to Customs Commissioner Aaron Kanor. Kanor urged travellers to avoid carrying phones belonging to others if it would result in exceeding the permitted limit of two phones.
He emphasized that each person is entitled to one phone, and exceeding this limit could be considered a commercial import due to the high value of devices like the latest iPhones and Samsung models. Travellers are advised to declare any additional handsets to Customs rather than attempting to bring them into Ghana as personal effects.
The warning is part of increased checks on electronic devices being brought into the country through Kotoka International Airport.
