Starting December 1, 2025, all businesses importing branded goods into Mainland Tanzania must comply with a new trademark recordation system mandated by the Fair Competition Commission (FCC).

Customs will require proof that trademarks on imported goods have been officially recorded with the Chief Inspector of Merchandise Marks before allowing clearance.

Noncompliance may lead to delay in customs clearance at Tanzania.

For any enquiries, contact FCC on telephone: +2552221115802 or email: trademark.recordation@fcc.go.tz or visit www.fcc.go.tz
