In another development, the statement indicated that currently the Dar es Salaam Port is still operated by the TPA, noting that the DP World is yet start operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCitizens will be informed when the DP World would start operations at the port,\u201d the statement adds.<\/p>\n<p>According to the statement, wharfage charge shall be under TPA supervision even after the DP World starts operation at the port as per the stipulated agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far the wharfage is charged through a TANCIS System which is under Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), and the situation will continue as such even when DP World starts its operation,\u201d it further read.<\/p>\n<p>TANCIS refers to the Tanzania\u2019s customs integrated system built on hitech principles with a view to increasing effectiveness, efficiency, transparency and reliability in the customs administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
