Which cities in Tanzania do you deliver custom preforms to?

How long does delivery of custom preforms to Tanzania take?

Indicative sea transit from Mundra or Kandla (Gujarat) to Dar es Salaam is about 12–22 days, plus production and inland time. The confirmed schedule is given in the quotation.

What does custom preforms cost in Tanzania?

Price depends on the size, grade, quantity and packing of the custom preforms you need, so we quote per enquiry in USD, which your bank converts to Tanzanian shilling. Mixed-product containers usually lower the landed cost per item.

What import rules apply to custom preforms in Tanzania?

Import duty plus VAT under the EAC Common External Tariff. Regulated goods need a Certificate of Conformity under the TBS Pre-shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme. Confirm the HS code and duty with your customs broker; we provide the invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and test certificates.

Is there a trade agreement between India and Tanzania?

There is no India-specific trade agreement with Tanzania, so standard (MFN) duty applies to custom preforms. We supply a non-preferential certificate of origin with every shipment.

Can I combine custom preforms with other products in one shipment to Tanzania?

Yes. Custom Preforms can be consolidated with other pet preforms and products from our other divisions in one FCL or LCL container with one set of documents.

Why import PET preforms instead of bottles?

Preforms occupy a fraction of the volume of blown bottles, so one container of preforms produces many times more bottles, dramatically reducing freight cost per bottle.
