Customs Seizes 40-foot Container of Opioid at Tema Port
The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has seized a 40-foot container of opioid pharmaceuticals at the Tema Port.
The consignment, which was in transit to Niger, had not been properly declared to Customs, constituting a customs offence and warranting seizure by the state.
The product packaging did not include the name of the manufacturer and only stated on the strips that it was “Made in India.”
An inspection of the consignment revealed that it contained Tapentadol 120mg, 40 cartons of Diazole Loperamide 3mg, and 190 cartons of Chlorpheniramine Maleate, along with 320 cartons of other pharmaceuticals.
