Mandatory Requirement for Consignee’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)on the Bill of Lading while submitting the Import Manifest to Tanzania.

Dear Valued customers,

Effective 26th January 2025, the New Tanzania Customs Integrated System (NTANCIS) will
require all import manifests classified under “IMPORT” to include the Consignee’s Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN). This requirement is part of an initiative to improve data accuracy,
streamline customs processing, and enhance integration between shipping lines and
Customs brokers.

Key Points:
This requirement is effective from 26th January 2025.

The Consignee’s Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) must be clearly stated in
the Consignee Information section on the Bill of Lading (BL) to avoid the manifest being
rejected by NTANCIS.

Applicable for shipments where Port of Discharge, Final Place of delivery, and
Consignee’s address is Tanzania.

Not applicable for shipments where Port of Discharge, Final Place of delivery is
Tanzania, but the Consignee’s address is not Tanzania

For consignments listed as “To Order,” Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the
Notify party must be provided.

For consignments to banks, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the notify party
must be provided.

To ensure compliance and delays in the clearance of the cargo, please provide the valid
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of the Consignee while submitting Shipping
Instructions for your shipments to Tanzania.

Thank you for support and partnership.

New Electronic Export Process & UCR Requirement

In alignment with the new directives issued by governmental authorities regarding the digitalization of local Egyptian export shipments, we would like to draw your attention to the updated process introduced by Misr Technology Services (MTS).
As per the attached workflow, a new export cycle will be implemented, including the mandatory use of a Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) starting Thursday, October 30, 2025.
Please note that effective from this date, all local export shipments must obtain a UCR in advance — a unique and non-repetitive identifier for each export consignment ( لشحنة الصادر 􁣂 متكرر مم ي ف 􁣂 ي غ ي
􁣛ف 􁗫􁖁 رقم تع )
.
For any technical clarifications regarding the UCR requirements or registration procedures, we kindly advise you to contact MTS directly. This applies to all shippers, booking parties, and freight forwarders involved in the export process.
A testing phase for the new export cycle began on September 30, 2025, allowing stakeholders to familiarize themselves with the system and ensure readiness.
We remain committed to providing you with the highest level of support and thank you for your continued cooperation.
