EAA Company Limited has been contracted to TBS as an authorized inspection agency for the pre-shipment inspection for roadworthiness of used vehicles. This inspection has been initiated by TBS to minimize the risk of unsafe and substandard vehicles entering the Tanzania market, thus ensuring health, safety and environmental protection for Tanzanians. All used vehicles must meet the requirements of this important safety Pre-export inspection. Please ensure inspections are completed prior to export.
