TRA confiscates one tonne of sugar, 10 cartons of cooking oil

THE Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) has again confiscated one tonne of sugar, 10 cartons of cooking oil and the vehicle that was used to transport the goods illegally into the country through Namanga in Arusha along the border with Kenya.

The customs manager for Namanga border Edwin Iwato said the products were seized on Sunday night in a Nissan Caravan property of Christian Nko which was also confiscated together with the products.

“We have arrested another businessman by the name Paul Swai who was transporting products into the country through illegal routes.

The TRA official said one tonne of the sugar is worth 2.2ml/- and the cooking oil is worth 520,000/- .

According to TRA, the owner of the vehicle and the driver will be dealt with as per custom laws and that after inspection the products were identified as fit for human consumption saying they will be distributed to various needy government institutions.

This is the second time this month for TRA to seize and confiscate various products from Kenya which were being smuggled into the country illegally.

Some two weeks ago, TRA seized and nationalised various commodities at the same border.

The commodities were imported in Tanzania via illegal routes in Namanga border from neighbouring country of Kenya.

The confiscated commodities and products include one tonne of sugar and salt, 18 bags of tea, 16kg of khats, 5000 chicks and 416 boxes of eggs.

Mfumo wa uchumi uliopo sasa hapa Tanzania, lazima uzalishe Magendo na Rushwa kubwa sana, kodi hazilipiki hata kidogo mwisho wake watu wanatafuta mbadala
Tegemea maduka ya kwenye Magari, Bia za kwenye stoo (nadhani hukuwepo enzi za Nyerere)

Nina Mashaka na uelewa wako, ivi kuna kipindi kulikua na Biashara za Magendo kama Awamu zilizopita? MTU anapigwa milioni anafumba macho kama haoni kitu.. Fuatilia mambo acha kuropoka, Sasahv hao wachache waliobaki wanafanya angali wakijua wakikamatwa ni balaa tupu.

A country that has its Citizens smuggling goods is a good indication of Hardships reigning over them.

Doesn't Tanzania have a Chamber of Commerce to educate it's citizen on how to do import/export trade? All these instances of confiscation at borders into Tz are of Tanzanian traders being nabbed. At the end of the day,Kenyan sellers still laugh to the bank!

There is but the mindset of many Tanzanian businessmen has a long way to accept paying tax is an obligation a reason why i think Magu efforts are recommendable. Evade tax at ur own risk as when caught the consigment is confiscated or burned. End of story!

 

[Geza Ulole]

Imagine some fools importing cooking oil probably from Bidco n evading tax while largest cooking oil producer in the region METL sits in Tanzania n pay taxes to our coffers!

Viwanda vya kutengeneza bidhaa kama hizo Kenya vipo kwa wingi. Wao wana viwonder, ambavyo humo ndani wanachotengeneza kwa wingi ni hadithi tu.
