Prohibition of polyethylene packages in Tanzania
Tourists travelling to the country by the great Kilimanjaro, the preachers and the world ' s famous safaris should be drawn to the attention that Since 1 June 2019, the import and use of polyethylene packages has been prohibited in Tanzania. So travellers who collect suitcases on the road need to remove plastic bags or bags made of polyethylene, as well as transparent zip-lock packages that, according to the requirements of some air carriers, tourists pack liquids, cosmetics and hygiene items.
We recommend that passengers carefully consider packing options and use packagings made of other materials not included in the ban list in that country. If the tabloated plastic is still among your things, please leave it on the plane, to avoid unscheduled financial expenditure in the form of a large amount of fines and delays in Tanzanian Customs.
Urgent restrictions are due to the Government ' s desire Tanzania Improve the environmental situation in the country and make it even more attractive and desirable for tourists and comfort for local residents.
