"This report was prepared by the Office of Agricultural Affairs of the USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service in Accra, Ghana for U.S. exporters of food and agricultural products. While every possible care was taken in the preparation of this report, information provided may not be completely accurate either
because policies have changed since it’s preparation, or because clear and consistent information about these policies was not available. It is highly recommended that U.S. exporters verify the full set of import requirements with their foreign customers, who are normally best equipped to research such matters with local authorities, before any goods are shipped.
