Export to Tanazania-pre-shipment verification of conformity
Tanzania’s Bureau of Standards (TBS) has appointed our associate to implement a Pre-Shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) program with effect from January 1, 2012. Under the PVoC program, all regulated products to be imported to Tanzania will undergo verification and testing in the country of supply and a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) will be issued to demonstrate that they meet the requirements of the applicable national standards or approved equivalents and technical regulations. The CoC will be mandatory for Customs clearance. The TBS has introduced the PCA Program to protect the country, consumers and local manufacturers from: Substandard products that may endanger public health, safety or the environment Counterfeit or unsafe products Unfair competition from imported goods which do not comply with the approved standards Products regulated under this program include: Toys and childcare products Electrical and electronic products Automotive products Chemical and household products (furniture, paper products) Mechanical materials and gas appliances Food and agricultural products Selected safety equipment Used products There are three potential routes to PVoC certification depending on conditions including, but not exclusively: the type of product; its homogeneity; the frequency of shipments; and, the manufacturer’s quality management system. Route A – for unregistered products (unregistered suppliers of manufacturers of sensitive goods). Products must be tested and physically inspected to demonstrate conformity to relevant standards, essential requirements or manufacturer’s specification Route B – for registered suppliers or manufacturers of goods. This offers a fast track certification process for goods with reasonable and consistent levels of quality by registration of products with the PVoC contractor. Product Registration is recommended to exporters with frequent shipments of homogenous products Route C – licensed products.
