For you to be able to bring in your personal effects
into Tanzania, you need first and foremost to have a 2 year work permit which
will allow you to bring your goods duty and vat free. In the absence of this,
you will pay duty at the rates ranging between 25-35% plus18%VAT.
Note that all the items you will be bringing in have to be used items, if during verification of your goods they find any new items, you will be required to pay duty on these.
You have a grace period of 90 days from date of first entry into Tanzania during which you can import your goods duty free, so ensure that you manage to get your work permit within this period and also get your goods shipped during this period.
I would suggest you use movers as they will assist you with the documentation required.

Clearance of sea consignments in Dar es salaam takes about 14 days from arrival
of vessel provided documents are made available early, however, at the moment
the port is congested and it is taking vessels over a week to berth when they
arrive in Dar, you will need to make contingency plans with regards to household
goods as you might not get your creature comforts at the expected time.
