Tanzania COC/PVOC Certificate

Requirements for Importing Products into Tanzania

Tanzania requires all regulated products imported into the country to be assessed and to conform to the requirements of the TBS PVoC program. Under the PVoC program, a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is compulsory for customs clearance. The CoC shall be the proof that your products meet all applicable national standards or approved equivalents and technical regulations, and must be issued before shipment by an authorized inspection and certification body.
