Permits

Custom Clearance & Freight Forwarding

Importation and Excise Duties: Tanzania do not accept a carnet for the insurance of the return of your equipment. You are required to lay down a bond of the amount of duties to be paid for the importation of your equipment. You can however, request a waiver of this bond.

Waiver Assistance: Prior to filming, we suggest you acquire a waiver for all of your equipment. This can be done through us. Our representative will need documentation of the value of your equipment in order to obtain a waiver. This will cost $100. This fee includes transportation to and from the Ministry, and express service of acquiring the waiver.

We require:

• A full inventory of equipment to be imported for your application for a waiver of the Temporary Importation Bond
• A copy of the Airway bill of lading (for air freight)
• Details of date of arrival, time and flight number
• List of equipment including film stock
• Value of each item
• Total value of equipment to be temporarily imported
