What are Tanzania Post tracking numbers like?
Tanzania Post assigns a tracking number to all EMS shipments and packages. Small packages may not have tracking and be sent without it.
Tanzania Post's tracking number format looks like this:
RA123456785TZ: small packages from Tanzania weighing up to 2 kg always start with the letter R, from the word Registered;
CD123456785TZ: the tracking number for Tanzania Post shipments weighing up to 20 kg always starts with the letter C;
EE123456785TZ: EMS express deliveries start with the letter E.
A 13-character tracking number encodes: The type of shipment in the first letter, and the second part with all digits guarantees a uniqueness. The last two letters refer to the country of the postal service; e.g. CN for China Post, US for United States Postal Service, etc.
Tracking of Tanzania Post postal packages
Tracking international postal shipments from Tanzania can be a very useful tool for controlling their transit. Postal statuses will inform you at which stage the shipment is.
The sender can obtain the tracking number for a Tanzania Post shipment by registering it at the post office. You can also register a shipment remotely. Remember, however, that electronic registration does not guarantee that the sender has actually sent the item. In the former case, the physical delivery of the item is immediate, so the tracking information is very quickly added into the tracking system and the recipient can immediately verify the start of the international postal shipment.
