The East African Business Council (EABC) is urging Tanzania and Burundi to publish a clear list of commonly traded goods under the EAC Simplified Trade Regime (STR), arguing that the lack of clarity is limiting cross-border trade and denying women and youth traders vital economic opportunities.
The call emerged on Monday during a Public-Private Dialogue on Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs) at the Kobero-Kabanga One Stop Border Post (OSBP), which brought together traders, government officials and business stakeholders from both countries.
