Ghana: linking the G-CAP / CoC to clearance
Clearance in Ghana generally requires the G-CAP / CoC documents first; missing certificates directly delay release.

Key points
- Used equipment also needs a condition report and safety device list.
- G-CAP is run by the Ghana Standards Authority and covers electronics, machinery and building materials.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
