Tanzania - Domestic trade



Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's main distribution center. Mombasa, in Kenya, and inland Tanzanian towns also serve as trade centers. Previously, Tanzania used non-tariff trade barriers to protect local industries and domestic commerce. With trade liberalization, tariff barriers have been adjusted for this purpose. Most retail shops are small, privately owned establishments that specialize in one or two specific products.

Normal business hours are 7:30 to 2:30 PM , Monday through Friday; firms that take a lunch break at noon may stay open to 4 or 4:30 PM . Banks are open from 8:30 to noon, Monday through Friday, and 8:30 to 11 AM on Saturday.
