Tanzania has hit Kenya with fresh protectionist levies on eggs, dairy and meat products, and confectionery like biscuits, upsetting East African Community (EAC) Customs Union’s rule and cutting exports earnings for traders.
The tariff barriers threaten to reopen another round of on-and-off frosty trade ties between the two countries, which had shown signs of thawing in recent months.
