Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Customs Agents Association (Tacas) has welcomed the government’s decision to reduce the Port Infrastructure Development (PID) levy from nine per cent to 4.5 per cent, while urging faster implementation of ongoing port expansion projects to match rising cargo volumes and regional trade demands.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam on Monday, May 25, 2026, Tacas President Ephrahim Mwankysya said the reduction offers relief to traders and clearing agents, but stressed that infrastructure development must now keep pace with growing demand at Tanzania’s key ports.
“We are satisfied with the reduction of the PID levy to 4.5 per cent because it provides some relief to traders and clearing agents,” he said.
