Gateway Object: Document – Goods for Importation (Ghana)

History

Newman Brothers’ products were popular abroad, especially in Britain’s colonies and dominions, such as Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, Barbados, Ghana and Trinidad & Tobago, just to mention a few. Surviving business ledgers from the 1930s demonstrate the extent of Newman Brothers’ international trade.

The Combined Certificate of Value & Origin form as shown here, is one of the mandatory documents one had to fill out to get goods authorised for import. The document serves both as an invoice and a declaration of the items to be imported.
