FOREWORD

The Foreign Trade Statistics 2013 publication is the 4th in a series of publications on foreign trade.

This publication provides trade statistics series in the United Republic of Tanzania (URT) from 2007

to 2013. In this publication, foreign trade statistics refer to international, foreign or external

merchandise trade statistics unless otherwise stated. In this publication, the term merchandise has the

same meaning as goods or commodities.

The recommendations of the United Nations Statistical Commission on compilation of trade statistics

as contained in International Merchandise Trade Statistics; Concept and Definitions Revision 2

published by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) in 1998 provides the framework for data

compilation and interpretation.

The publication contains series of Imports, Domestic Exports, Re-exports as well as the Balance of

Trade for the World, East African Community (EAC) and Southern Africa Development Community

(SADC). It further provides trade statistics series of major traditional and non-traditional exports,

commodities classified by the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), International

Convention on Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) as well as the trading

countries.

It is my expectation that this report will continue to be a useful source of information to stakeholders

including policy makers, private sector, development partners, research institutions, academia and the

general public. In this regard, I am optimistic that the compiled statistics in this report will be useful

for making more informed decisions.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the Technical Team comprised of staff from the National

Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) for their dedication and

commitment which has led to the finalization of this publication. The National Bureau of Statistics

welcomes views, comments and suggestions from users for improving future publications.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Foreign Trade Statistics 2013 publication provides trade statistics time series for the period 2007

– 2013. In order to facilitate the interpretation and understanding of the published trade statistics, the

report provides an overview of the scope and methodology of data collection. An overview of foreign

trade performance between Tanzania and the rest of the world as well as regional economic blocs of

interest including the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern Africa Development

Community (SADC) have been provided. Appended tables provide the reader with detailed insight on

foreign trade over the 2007 - 2013 period.

2.0 METHODOLOGY

This publication deals only with international merchandise trade and therefore excludes trade in

services. Foreign trade statistics are compiled in accordance with the recommendations of United

Nations Statistical Commission as contained in International Merchandise Trade Statistics; Concept

and Definitions Revision 2 report published by the United National Statistics Division in 2010 which

provides the framework for data compilation and interpretation.

Source of Data

The main source of international merchandise trade statistics is the bill of entry known as Tanzania

Single Administrative Document (TANSAD) administered by the Tanzania Revenue Authority for

clearing of goods at all border stations of the United Republic of Tanzania.

Timing of Recording

Imported and exported goods are recorded at the time they enter or leave the economic territory of a

country. For customs based data, the time of recording is the date of lodgement of the customs

declaration since it is approximated as the time at which goods cross the border of the economic

territory of a country.

Data Capture and Analysis

TRA has automated customs clearance process through ASYCUDA++ system in all major customs

stations across the country and therefore accounting for 100 percent of all legal international trade

transactions. On monthly basis, data from ASYCUDA++ are transferred and loaded into a Eurotrace

database, validated and disseminated to the National Bureau of Statistics for compilation and

publication of Foreign Trade Statistics.

Commodity Classification

Customs data are classified according to the International Convection on Harmonised Commodity

Description and Coding System approved by the World Customs Organisation. Both the Harmonised

System Version 2012 and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 4 of 2006

have been used for classification of commodities portrayed in this report

Statistical Value of Imports and Exports

Statistical value is the value assigned to goods, in accordance with the World Trade Organisation’s

Agreement on Customs Valuation (WTO-ACV), by the Tanzania Revenue Authority as follows:

a) Imported goods are valued at Cost, Insurance and Freight (C.I.F) which includes the transaction

value of the goods, the value of services performed to deliver goods to the border of the

exporting country and the value of the services performed to deliver the goods from the border

of the exporting country to the border of importing country.

b) Exported goods are valued as Free on Board (F.O.B) at port or place of exit. It includes

transaction value of the goods and the value of services performed to deliver goods to the border

of the exporting country.

Concepts and Definitions

Foreign trade statistics are compiled in accordance with the General Trade System in which all goods

that enter or leave the statistical territory are recorded.

Direct Imports

Direct Imports are foreign goods including compensating products which after outward processing

change their origin from domestic to foreign, that enter the free circulation area, premises for inward

processing, industrial free zones, and premises for customs warehousing or commercial free zones. In

short, it includes all goods entering the economic territory of a compiling country that are directly

cleared for home use and those declared for warehousing.

Domestic Exports

These are goods grown, produced, extracted or manufactured in Tanzania which are exported to

foreign countries, or sold as ships and aircraft’s stores.

Foreign Trade Statistics 2013 Tanzania

Re-exports

All imported goods which are subsequently exported either under drawback or not under drawback

including ships or aircraft’s stores. Re-exports are exports of foreign goods which were previously

recorded as imports.

Total Exports or Exports

The aggregate of Domestic Exports and Re-exports

Partner Country Attribution

In trade statistics by partner country, both the value and quantity of individual commodities are of

significant analytical value. There is no ideal method of attributing a partner country for the

compilation of international merchandise trade statistics. There are different types of partner country

attributions for both imported and exported goods1. Attribution by country of origin for imports and

country of last known destination for exports meets what is considered to be a priority application of

international merchandise trade statistics, for matters of trade policy and related economic analysis.

Country of Origin

The country of origin of a good is determined by EAC Rules of Origin. Generally, rules of origin

consist of two basic criteria namely:-

a) The criterion of goods "wholly produced" (obtained) in a given country, where only one country

enters into consideration in attributing origin;

b) The criterion of "substantial transformation", where two or more countries have taken part in the

production of the goods.

Country of Destination

It is a country known at the time of dispatch to be the final country of destination where goods are to

be delivered.

1 There are different types of Partner Country attribution for imports which include; - Country of Purchase, Country of

Consignment, Country of Shipment and Country of Origin. Likewise, Partner Country attribution for exported goods

include;- Country of Sales, Country of Consignment, Country of Shipment, Country of Last Known Destination and

Country of Consumption,

Sensitive Goods

These are goods on which EAC Common External Tariff (CET) rates are set higher than 25 percent in

order to protect regionally (domestically) grown, produced or manufactured goods from similar goods

imported from outside the region.

Goods Excluded from Compilation of International Merchandise Trade Statistics

The following goods are not included in the compilation of international merchandise trade statistics:

a) Traveler’s sample, except in case of goods subject to duty which are not re-exported;

b) Motor vehicle imported on a “carnet de passage en route” unless such vehicles are not

subsequently re-exported;

c) Naval and military stores;

d) Goods in Transit;

e) Transactions of gold between central banks or monetary authorities which are considered as

transactions in monetary gold;

f) Issued banknotes and securities and coins in circulation;

g) Goods temporarily admitted or dispatched;

h) Goods consigned to and from territorial enclaves;

i) Means of transport for commercial use; and

j) Relief consignments.

3.2 Trade Performance with EAC Countries

The United Republic of Tanzania is among the five partner states forming the East African

Community. Other Partner States are; Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. The EAC Customs

Union was launched on 1st January 2005. Rwanda and Burundi joined the EAC Customs Union in

July 2007 and since July 2009 they have been implementing the provisions of the Customs Union.

The overall goal of the EAC Customs Union (EAC - CU) is to deepen the integration process through

liberalization and promotion of intra-regional trade. Other indirect crucial expectations from the

customs union are the promotion of efficiency in production in response to intra-region competition

among businesses, enhancement of domestic cross border and foreign investment and promotion of

industrial diversification and economic development.

In 2013, Tanzania exports to EAC partner states were 21.6 percent of Tanzania total exports and

Tanzania imports from EAC partner states were 3.2 percent of Tanzania total imports.
