Streamlining Your Entry to Tanzania: TCRA Type Approval Made Simple

Tanzania’s digital landscape is growing fast — and with that growth comes opportunity. Before any telecom or RF device can be sold in the market, it must be certified by the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA). Navigating that regulatory pathway can be time-consuming and complex, but with the right partner it doesn’t have to be. At Nano Technology Solutions, we simplify the TCRA Type Approval process so you can focus on what you do best: building great products.

Devices Covered Under TCRA Regulations:

If your product transmits or receives signals, it will likely need TCRA certification. Common examples include:

• Mobile phones and smartphones

• Routers, modems, and access points

• IoT devices and smart equipment

• Wireless and RF communication modules and systems

How we make it effortless:

Our approach is designed to remove uncertainty and unnecessary delays. Here’s how we guide you through every step:

1. Consultation & scope checkWe start by confirming whether your device falls under TCRA’s remit and identify the technical standards that apply.

2. Sample coordination (case-by-case)Sample requirements are assessed on a case-by-case basis; typically, a physical sample is requested for cellular devices. We coordinate any required sample submissions and communications with authorities.

3. Documentation & submissionWe prepare and submit a complete application package, including:

   • Technical literature (manuals, datasheets)

   • Circuit diagrams and schematics

   • Internal and external photos

   • Declaration of Conformity (DoC)

   • RF, EMC, and safety test reports

   • GSMA TAC letter (for cellular devices)

What to expect from the certification:

• Approval validity: Permanent — once approved, no renewal is required.

• Certificate holder: The TCRA Type Approval certificate is issued in the name of the manufacturer (the certificate holder).

• Importer use: Importers may rely on the manufacturer’s certificate for importation; they do not need to obtain a separate type approval under their own name.

• Local representative: Not required — we can manage the entire process on your behalf.

• Typical lead time: 4–6 weeks (subject to testing schedules and completeness of documentation).
