Categorisation of alcohol in Tanzania
We are a new supplier and wanted to enquire if there are any specific legal requirements based on different categories of alcohol (i.e., rum vs. whisky vs. vodka, etc.)?

In Tanzania all alcoholic products are governed by the same legislation. The only difference comes when determining the origin of the products and material used in its processing. The fees payable for imported alcoholic products differ from those which are locally produced and that is where the different categories are stipulated. Also, the different alcohol products attract different excise duties.
