STS Prepaid Meters and the TID Rollover Explained
Buying STS prepaid meters for an estate or utility? What the TID rollover did, why the base date matters at order stage, and what to settle…
Uganda has no port. Your container clears at Mombasa or Dar es Salaam and then travels by road, which means the paperwork is checked more than once.
What Uganda asks for
Uganda runs a PVoC scheme under the Uganda National Bureau of Standards. Goods are inspected and tested before loading in India and a Certificate of Conformity is issued. Because Uganda is landlocked, that certificate is also relied on during transit through Kenya or Tanzania, so errors are caught more than once.
| What the scheme is called | PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) |
|---|---|
| Who runs it | Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) |
| What you receive | A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) |
| When it is issued | Before the goods are loaded, in India |
| Route in | Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, then by road |
Sea transit is only part of it. The inland run adds real days. Plan the site date around the full journey.
A mismatch between the certificate and the invoice can be raised at the port and again at the border.
The inland leg is harder on packaging than the sea leg. Say so at the order stage.
