The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has invited key stakeholders to nominate representatives for a multi-party technical committee to support the deployment of artificial intelligence in customs operations.
In an official communication dated April 14, 2026, the GRA said the move follows a stakeholder meeting held at the Ministry of Finance on April 1, where it was agreed that a consultative platform be established to guide the implementation of the AI-driven system.
Push for AI in Customs
The proposed committee will focus on the deployment of Publican AI within customs processes, a step aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and stakeholder engagement in trade facilitation.
According to the GRA, the committee will serve as a collaborative platform to ensure continuous dialogue and input from all relevant institutions involved in customs and trade operations.
Call for Nominations
Stakeholders have been requested to nominate three representatives each to serve on the committee.
The first meeting of the technical committee is scheduled for April 16, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Ministry of Finance in Accra.
Strengthening Collaboration
The initiative reflects ongoing efforts by the GRA and the Ministry of Finance to modernize customs operations through technology while ensuring inclusivity in decision-making.
The letter was signed by Anthony K. Sarpong, Acting Commissioner-General of the GRA.
The formation of the committee is expected to play a key role in shaping how artificial intelligence is integrated into Ghana’s customs systems, with implications for revenue mobilization and international trade efficiency.
