The Tanzania Country Commercial Guide (CCG) lists the leading sectors for U.S. exports and investment in Tanzania. The Tanzania Country Commercial Guide (PDF 692 KB) gives a brief synopsis of the information contained in this comprehensive report.

Aside from the best prospect sectors, U.S. firms should also be aware of opportunities in other sectors of the Tanzanian economy. Contact us for information on the market of opportunities for your particular product or service.

The U.S. Commercial Service Office in Tanzania provides many services to help U.S. companies identify potential Tanzanian partners. Our business matchmaking services are designed to help you locate, screen, and meet with potential buyers, representatives, distributors, and joint venture partners.

If your firm is having difficulties with a Tanzanian company, please feel free to contact us and provide detailed information about the situation, contact data, and documented proof of unsuccessful attempts at resolving the problem. We will analyze your case and provide assistance accordingly. Please be advised that the Embassy, by its own initiative, does not intervene in questions arising from private transactions. It does, however, attempt to clarify misunderstandings.
