Description of content:  The Ghana Standards Board has evolved a new system, the Destination Inspection Programme that can be used to ascertain the quality and safety of the High Risk Goods/products without concentrating on extensive testing that can cause undue delays at the ports of entry.  All importers of High Risk Goods shall register with the Ghana Standards Board and all High Risk Goods should be accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis or Certificate of Conformity issued by a competent laboratory.

Clearance may be expedited if the importer submits forward samples to GSB for quality evaluation and certification before committing to import.  The document describes the GSB labelling requirements for imported products, handling/seizure of non-conforming imported products as well as the list of broad groupings of high risk goods.
