Tanzania Customs Status & U.S. Trade Treatment
Tariff treatment, trade-agreement coverage, and live monthly U.S. import/export data for Tanzania.
As of April 2026, the United States imported $36.3M/month and exported $21.2M/month with Tanzania. This page covers Tanzania's customs status, applicable trade agreements, and the practical tariff treatment U.S. importers and exporters should expect.
Trade overview
Tanzania supplies the United States with a range of agricultural and natural-resource commodities, including specialty coffee and tea, cashew nuts, spices such as cloves and vanilla, and gemstones — most notably tanzanite, a blue-violet variety of zoisite found exclusively in a small mining area near Mount Kilimanjaro. Tanzanite's unique single-source geography makes supply concentration a real risk factor for US jewelry importers. Agricultural exports are subject to standard FDA or USDA admissibility procedures depending on the commodity, while gemstone imports require accurate HTS classification to ensure correct duty treatment.
Practical tariff treatment
