DECLARATION OF ARTICLES IMPORTED AS UNACCOMPANIED BAGGAGE
WARNINGS |
|||
1. Any person who makes or causes to be made any declaration relating to the Customs which is false or incorrect in any material particular is liable to penalties, or imprisonment, or both and the goods to which the declaration relates may be forfeited. |
|||
2. Fiscal entry and import duty shall be payable at the rate in force at the time of disposal, on any goods exempted from the fiscal entry and import duty as baggage which may be disposed of by the passenger in Tanzania within two years of the date of importation. Failure to pay fiscal entry and import duty in this circumstance renders the importer liable to penalties and the goods liable to forfeiture. |
|||
3. The whole of the unaccompanied baggage and the articles contained therein must be declared. |
|||
NOTES |
|||
1. The owner of any unaccompanied baggage must make an accurate and legible declaration overleaf of the whole of the unaccompanied baggage and the articles contained therein. Declarations which are incomplete or bear remarks such as "Subject to examination" will not be accepted. The production of relevant invoices and packing lists will facilitate clearance. |
|||
2. Used personal effects and used household effects may be generally declared as such provided they are neither prohibited nor restricted goods (see below), but all new or unused articles must be specifically declared. |
|||
"Used personal effects" are normally regarded as the used personal clothing of the passenger and any used portable articles imported in his baggage or on his person which he might reasonably be expected to carry with him for his own regular and private use. |
|||
"Used household effects" are normally regarded as the furniture and other articles of any ordinary domestic character, which have been in the household use of the passenger abroad. |
|||
ALL other goods must be specifically declared. The following lists, which are not exhaustive, indicate which are liable to fiscal entry and import duty or are prohibited or restricted imports. |
|||
DUTIABLE GOODS |
|||
Alcoholic Beverages of all Kinds; Bicycles; Cine and Still Projectors; Fabrics in the Piece; Gramophones; Gramophone Records; Motor Vehicles; New Musical Instruments; New Household Effects; Perfumed Spirits; Presents or Goods obtained for other persons; Provisions; Sound Recording machines; Tobacco, including Snuff, in any form (e.g. Pipe Tobacco, Cigarettes, Cigars, Cheroots); Toilet Preparations; Trade Goods of any description; Wireless and Television Apparatus. |
|||
Certain concessions exist under which goods may be imported without payment of fiscal entry and import duty, but such goods must be declared. |
|||
PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED GOODS |
|||
Animals (alive); Animal Trophies; Arms and Ammunition; Articles marked with the State Arms; Birds and Birds' Eggs; Beeswax; Condensed Milk; Currency Notes and Securities; Dangerous Drugs; Explosives, False Money; Fish (alive); Gambling machines (Mechanical); Hides and Skins; Insects; Indecent Literature, Prints, Books and Articles; Ivory, Rhino Horn and Hippo Teeth; Matches made with white phosphorus; Plants, Seeds, Seedlings, Bulbs, etc.; Postal Franking Machines made with white phosphorus; Plants, Seeds, Seedlings, Bulbs, etc.; Postal Franking Machines; Poisons; Rat virus; Seine Fishing Nets; Seditious Publications; Sex Publications; Traps for Animals; Toy Pistols, Rifles and Airguns; Unwrought Precious Metals and Precious Stones. |
|||
A number of other classes of goods not normally imported in passengers' baggage are also subject to import restriction and any question of doubt should be referred to the proper Customs officer. |
|||
3. There are additional concessions granted to bona fide Tourists and temporary visitors to Tanzania and to persons bona fide changing their residence to Tanzania on first arrival, details of which may be obtained from Customs Department. |
|||
4. The owner of unaccompanied baggage declared hereon may authorise an agent to sign the declaration on his behalf, but such written authorisation must be produced with the declaration; the notice of appointment of an agent to clear the baggage given on this form is NOT sufficient authority for the agent to sign the declaration. The Customs Department does NOT act as agents for passengers. The responsibility for opening packages for Customs examination and for repacking lies with the passenger or his agent who should, therefore, be provided with any keys required. |
|||
5. Any claims that goods are not liable to fiscal entry and import duty on the grounds of previous importation must be supported by a re-importation certificate. |
|||

IMPORTANT NOTES ON CERTIFICATES A AND B |
|
(1) Failure duly to deliver a certificate on Form No. C. 57 to the proper Officer at the port or place of importation renders the importer liable to a penalty of two thousand shillings. (2) Unless all deletions are initiated by the signatory the certificate will not be accepted. Deletion of two or more lines may be in the form Z with the initials at each end of the deletion. Persons other than the signatory are warned that by tampering with the form after signature they may render themselves liable to heavy penalties. (3) Declarations may be made– (a) by the actual importer if an individual; (b) in the case of a private company or firm by one of the partners; (c) in the case of any other company by a director or by the secretary; (d) by any employee duly authorised in writing by one of the aforementioned persons. (4) Any importer whose business is wholly or partly under the same control as that of the consignor whether by common directorate, shareholding or otherwise or whose relations with the consignor are not solely those of buyer and seller is regarded as associated with the consignor and must complete and sign not Certificate A but Certificate B. (5) Where an entry covers goods from various consignors and the particulars required at (2), (3) and (4) of the declaration are the same for all the goods, a single Certificate "A" declaration will normally be accepted by Customs, the form being amended at (1) to read "from the persons named in the invoices who are the vendors, etc.". Where on the other hand an invoice covers goods entered on more than one entry a single Certificate "A" or "B" declaration will normally be accepted by Customs. But, if the proper officer so requires, a separate declaration on this Form shall be submitted for the whole of the goods specified on the invoice in respect of each entry. (6) The value to be declared on form C. 57 is the value for all the goods shown on the invoice including any goods liable to fiscal entry and import duty ad valorem even though the invoice covers goods liable to a specific rate, or an alternative specific/ad valorem rate or goods free of duty. |
