Screws in Tanzania
What actually moves in this market.
Dar es Salaam is a Central Corridor gateway, so a screw order into Tanzania often carries on to Burundi, Rwanda or western DRC. We pack and label per destination when the consignment splits at the port rather than after it has already been broken down.
Volume buyers here are fabricators and hardware distributors who care about consistent drive geometry across repeat orders — a change of driver bit between shipments costs them assembly time.
Landed into Tanzania
Routing, lead time and specification.
Corridor
Dar es Salaam is the Central Corridor gateway, feeding Tanzania inland as well as Zambia, Burundi, Rwanda and western DRC.
Lead time
6–9 weeks door to door for a container, with a further 3–7 days road transit for up-country and Copperbelt destinations.
Duty and conformity
EAC common external tariff on HS 7318 plus VAT and clearing charges. Tanzania Bureau of Standards conformity requirements apply to imported fasteners, handled through pre-shipment documentation.
Coating for Tanzanian exposure
Dar es Salaam and the coast are aggressively corrosive — hot-dip galvanised as a minimum. Inland mining sites need coatings that survive dust abrasion, so hot-dip galvanised or Dacromet over plating.

Questions from Tanzanian buyers
Screws into Tanzania — asked and answered.
- Can a Dar es Salaam shipment split for onward transit?
- Yes. We pack and mark per final destination before shipping so the consignment separates cleanly at the port rather than being re-sorted inland.
- Will repeat orders match the first one?
- We hold the specification, including drive type and coating, against your account so a second shipment takes the same bit as the first.
- How long does inland delivery take from the port?
- Three to seven days by road to up-country Tanzanian destinations once the container is released.
