Ghana: common blockers in the G-CAP / CoC process

Key points
- G-CAP is run by the Ghana Standards Authority and covers electronics, machinery and building materials.
- Check whether the product is in the G-CAP controlled list.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
