- Complaint
-
Tanzania excessive sampling being conducted for each truck crossing the border on soap, detergents, vaseline body oil among others. This is resulting in significant and unnecessary costs to the business. Samples picked by the Tanzania authorities as of 31st July 2025, amounting to Kshs 1,626,200.64. The products are already paid for by the client.
We are deeply concerned about the excessive sampling being conducted for each truck crossing the border, as this is resulting in significant and unnecessary costs to the business.
URT to stop collecting the huge samples on each truck crossing the border every day and should mutually recognize the KEBS standardization mark of quality that the products have complied with the standards therefore they should conduct scientific based sampling randomly and continue with market survailance. - Progress update note
