I live in Tanzania and bought a drone abroad. What should I do

If you bought a drone abroad, begin through TCAA’s online drone application system through Civil Aviation Services Portal (CASP). According to our procedure, residents should apply for an import permit, register the drone, register the operator/pilot and obtain the applicable operations permit. Confirm the current document checklist and charges with TCAA.

You need a TCAA import permit before the drone, or any part of it, arrives in Tanzania. Apply through CASP with the airway bill or bill of lading, the expected arrival date and entry point, and the drone model and serial number. You will also need evidence that the model is accepted by TCAA and that its radio equipment is TCRA type-approved, and you must state whether the import is temporary or permanent. Show the permit to TRA Customs when you collect the drone.
