Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Michael Blackson, a comedian from Ghana who lives in the United States, has expressed his displeasure at Ghana’s exorbitant customs fees while sharing his story.
Michael Blackson claims that he has cousins in Ghana who are unemployed due to a lack of employment opportunities, so he decided to assist.
He said that he delivered them $10,000 worth of products that he had purchased in the United States to help them start their business, but when the shipment arrived at customs, they also requested another $10,000 in clearance fees.
He tweeted, “If you are planning on shipping anything to Ghana, be prepared to pay a duty fee as high as the thing you shipped and if you don’t pick them up in a timely fashion they will auction your belongings. Why @GhanaRevenue ?”
“I shipped some old furniture by ship duty was $1500 that didn’t bother me, later I shipped my 2014 S class duty was $16k that didn’t bother me but 3 boxes of clothes sent thru DHL that cost me $10k and you want me to pay $10k to get it out? Now you going too far.”
