Arusha. The East African Business Council (EABC) has urged the governments of Tanzania and Burundi to publish an official list of commonly traded goods under the East African Community (EAC) Simplified Trade Regime (STR), saying the move would boost cross-border trade, improve market access and create more opportunities for women and youth traders.
The call was made during a Public-Private Dialogue on Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) held at the Kobero-Kabanga One Stop Border Post (OSBP).
The dialogue held on Monday, June 8, 2026, brought together traders, government officials, and business stakeholders from both countries.
