NTBs account for a significant proportion of the high transportation costs in the EAC which are estimated to limit intra-regional trade by approximately 15% [World Bank] and constitute significant limitations to foreign direct investment. The existing NTBs have also created a mechanism which funds government institutions and a culture which also includes the possibility of corruption. In Tanzania, foreign-registered cargo trucks are required to pay US$ 500 to the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) on each entry, in addition to annual fees of $600. This makes eliminating NTBs one of the highest priorities for the EAC Secretariat and member states.
Elimination of NTBs. Key outputs include;
Chamber programme on advocacy and monitoring of NTBs designed and delivered
Awareness, training, stakeholder consultation and study tours on NTB removal conducted
Advocating and dialogue through the National Monitoring Committee (NMC)
