Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Freight Forwarders Association (Taffa) has submitted proposals for indicative pricing for customs clearance and cargo handling at ports, borders and airports, calling on the government to introduce a law or regulation that would protect the minimum cost thresholds outlined in these proposals.
Currently, there is no standard pricing for these services and among the more than 1,400 companies engaged in this business and affiliated with Taffa, each sets its own rates independently. This has created an inconsistent pricing environment that affects service quality, revenue collection and the livelihoods of customs agents.
