Tanzania - Trade Barriers Tanzania-Trade-Barriers
Customs and port authorities are the greatest hindrance to importers throughout Tanzania. Clearance delays and extra‑legal levies are commonplace when dealing with customs officials within the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). These hindrances can cause unpredictable delays when importing goods into the country. However, there are some benefits for large taxpayers who have a track record of compliance, including expedited clearance and reduced auditing.
