In 2021, Tanzania halted vehicle inspection at the port of origin after opting to inspect used motor vehicles and spare parts at the port of entry.

Dar es Salaam. A company blacklisted in Kenya has won a lucrative tender to inspect used motor vehicles for Tanzania in Japan, the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) has announced.
The inspection, according to TBS, will be by means of Pre-Shipment Verification of Conformity to Standards (PVoC) as opposed to the current procedure where inspection is conducted after the vehicles arrive in the country.
In a statement issued and signed by Public Relations and Marketing manager Gladness Kaseka inspection of used motor vehicles will be carried out by EAA Company Limited in Japan with effect from July 20, this year.
Speaking at a news conference TBS’ Said Mkwawa insisted that all due processes were followed and that the best candidate won the contract.
In 2021, Tanzania halted vehicle inspection at the port of origin after opting to inspect used motor vehicles and spare parts at the port of entry.
Early in April, The Citizen reported that EAA and Auto Terminal Japan had been disbarred by Kenya’s Public Procurement Authority for three years and therefore unfit to bid for the said tender which had been floated by TBS.
