Shipping Destinations
Ship Machinery to Tanzania
Meridian Freight exports used machinery from the USA and Canada to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest port and the gateway to East and Central Africa. From sourcing and origin inspection through export documents and ocean freight, one exporter runs the file; your clearing agent handles the TRA entry. Nothing here is for sale.

What You Need to Know
Tanzania at a glance: Dar es Salaam is the entry port, with inland moves to Arusha and Mwanza beyond it; current carrier rates show 49-58 days from US ports and 77 days by 40HC from the Chicago rail ramp, and the exact schedule depends on export port, load format and carrier routing and is confirmed at booking; containers, flat racks and open tops all work depending on the machine. Compliance in brief: TBS runs a Pre-Shipment Verification of Conformity (PVoC) programme and the USA is in its Zone 6 (Intertek) for general goods; whether a used US machine needs a Certificate of Conformity before it ships or goes to destination inspection on arrival is confirmed by your clearing agent with TBS (and, for general goods, Intertek, the Zone 6 provider) before you ship, and the TRA assesses the entry — machine-level specifics live on our Tanzania farm-tractor and heavy-equipment import pages.
