How clearance runs at Tema
Documents are reviewed during the voyage; the declaration is lodged on ICUMS once the manifest is available; duty is paid through designated banks; cargo selected for examination is scanned or physically inspected; the shipping line issues its release; and the container is gated out for delivery. With complete documents, two to four working days is typical.
Keeping costs down at Tema
