Stakeholders: Flaws in legislation fuel minerals smuggling
What you need to know:
Before going to Dodoma, an intending exporter must send the mineral consignment to the zonal mining office where the consignment is inspected, weighed and put in a sealed package.
The exporter then pays royalty and inspection fees, after which the application forms and receipts are lodged electronically with the TMC head office in Dodoma.
TMC then processes the application, and issues the requisite permit within seven days. The applicants has to go to Dodoma to collect the permit – or use an authorized agent who collects it on his/her behalf
