Ask the research

Ask in your own words. The answer is the research itself: its records, word for word, with every source and how sure each one is.

No bilateral gold instrument found. The pair gets ordinary treatment (0% UAE duty). The UAE is Tanzania's third gold destination. UAE-reported imports from Tanzania exceed Tanzania's declared exports to the UAE by about 8 t (2022) and 14 t (2023).

      Where practice departs from the law

      What credible sources show happening that the law does not provide for.

      • UAE-recorded imports from Tanzania exceed Tanzania's declared exports to the UAE: 19.8 t vs 11.8 t in 2022 and 22.9 t vs 8.6 t in 2023. The gap fits the smuggling that Tanzania's task force still reports (tz.div-smuggling-seizures), but some of it may be gold from neighbouring countries declared as Tanzanian.

        Figures: ~8 t (2022); ~14.3 t (2023)

        Secondary

        Researcher's note: [summary] Figures read from WITS pages through a summarising fetch on 2026-09-22; not re-read in this pass. [inferred] The smuggling explanation is the researcher's reading, not a source's statement.
