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.
