Market Overview
Tanzania serves a dual role — domestic market with active mining (Geita and Bulyanhulu gold operations, Mwadui diamond, tanzanite gemstones) and infrastructure, AND as a transit hub for landlocked neighbors Zambia, DR Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Malawi.
Dar es Salaam is the only viable port for international imports. TBS Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) is required for most regulated imports. We coordinate this through SGS, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas at origin.
