It totally depends how you do the sourcing , who you use to clear your cargo and the item you bring also matters a lot so it is better you come down with a list of items and brands prices then you compare with what is available in the market.Do not come with a fixed mind what you want to deal in.You might find some better business.So karibu Tanzania.
