Overview
The Online Permit Application for Import and Export Forestry in Tanzania Portal is a specialized digital platform developed by the Tanzania Forest Services Agency to streamline the regulation of forest product trade. This comprehensive system processes permits for timber exports, wood product imports, non-timber forest product shipments, and tree seedling movements. The portal verifies legal harvesting documentation, validates species identification, confirms compliance with international conventions, and generates official permits. It has strengthened control over forest product trade, reduced illegal timber trafficking, improved revenue collection, and enhanced Tanzania’s compliance with international forestry governance standards.
