US Wholesale Liquidation Pallets — Shipped to Tanzania

Freight from US to Tanzania

Sea freight from US East Coast to Dar es Salaam Port runs 30-40 days transit, slightly longer than Mombasa due to routing. The port is Tanzania's main container gateway and serves Zambia, Malawi, DRC east, Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda through the Central Corridor. Tanga Port is a smaller alternative further north. Most buyers ship full 20ft or 40ft containers to amortize the long-haul freight cost.

Customs and duties at Dar es Salaam

Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) duties run 0-25% depending on category — clothing 25%, electronics 0-25%, general merchandise 0-25%. VAT is 18% on the duty-inclusive value. TBS (Tanzania Bureau of Standards) pre-shipment verification applies to several import categories. We provide USD invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading suitable for TRA and TBS filings.

Payment from Tanzania

USD SWIFT wire from any Tanzanian bank is the standard route, subject to BoT (Bank of Tanzania) documentation requirements for the underlying trade. Shilling-to-dollar conversion happens at your bank. Volume discounts apply over $10,000 USD.
