Message from the Director
The inauguration of this website takes place at a time when we,
Wakala wa Makanisa (WAMA), as a department of Christian Council of
Tanzania (CCT) are experiencing the need for our services to be widely
known and utilized by not only churches in Tanzania but also partner
organizations abroad.Between 1979, when CCT WAMA was established, as a clearing agency, and 2011 many changes have taken place in the clearing system. And it can undoubtedly be anticipated that there would be more changes to come.
The website will therefore provide an opportunity for up dating our clients say on requirements that they have to comply with in order to enable the clearance process to be completed smoothly and within a reasonable time.
CCT WAMA as an agent is committed to clear a client’s consignment without delay. And we would like to appreciate the fact that the consignor (sender) and consignee (recipient) have roles to play to enable a smooth clearance.
As it is well known, churches as religious organization are eligible for tax exemption. Therefore the clearing of the goods they import include the Treasury Voucher System.
It is in this context that we would like to advise our clients, to make sure that they send to us the right documents at the right time. We would be especially glad to guide our clients on how to prepare shipping documents in a way that would not cause inconvenience when applying for tax exemption. Documents that are not correctly written as far as tax exemption is concerned can cause a significant delay in the clearance process because they will have to be amended. And, amendment takes time.
Thus we would really appreciate that the consignor or consignee sends to us as early as possible the information about the shipment in the pipeline. The information would be very helpful because it would provide us with an opportunity to seek clarifications that we might need or give for a particular shipment.
Last but not least, as you would learn from other pages of this web
site, besides clearing, CCT WAMA provides other services. The services
include supply of motorcycles, Altar wine, procurement of new and used
vehicles, warehousing and transportation services.
CCT WAMA is yours and it can serve you better as you continue to utilize
its services
