Customs Clearance
Tanzania Revenue Authority is implementing Single Customs Territory along the Central corridor. This initiative which was launched in October 2013 was piloted first in the Northern Corridor involving Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda. Following successful implementation in the Northern Corridor, the same is now rolled out onto the Central Corridor which involves Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda. For more information, click the following link: http://www.tra.go.tz/swahili/index.php/export-procedures/102-import-procedure/326-implementation-of-eac-single-customs-territory-sct.
Usual documents are required for the custom clearance including invoice, packing list, permits, and the contract signed between the customer and the clearance agent, if any. The truck driver has to present his passport to the authority. Note that the goods could be subject to examination upon entering the country. The fees vary in function of the origin, destination, and the number of axles. For small vehicles, the fees are mainly based on the longer of the journey in Tanzania.
