Why the JPY/TZS rate matters for trade
Tanzania is a major used-vehicle destination, with Japanese cars landing at the port of Dar es Salaam for buyers in Tanzania and the landlocked countries behind it. Japan also supplies machinery and equipment. When a Japanese auction lists a car in yen, the JPY/TZS rate converts that price — but it is only the start of the landed cost.
Importing a car from Japan?
The yen price is only part of the landed cost: once the car reaches port, import duty and VAT are charged on top — often more than the car itself. Work out the duty:

What moves the Tanzanian Shilling rate
The Tanzanian shilling is on a managed float under the Bank of Tanzania. Gold, tourism, agricultural exports (cashews, coffee) and the import bill — including used vehicles from Japan — shape the rate.
About the Japanese Yen
The Japanese Yen (JPY, ¥) is issued by the Bank of Japan and, unlike most currencies, has no minor unit in everyday use — amounts are quoted in whole yen, so a price is written as ¥10,000 with no decimal places. The yen is one of the world's most-traded currencies and a traditional safe-haven, which makes it relatively liquid against African currencies even though direct JPY/Africa interbank markets are thin and most rates are derived through the US dollar. For African importers the yen matters most in two arenas: capital goods and machinery (Japan is a major supplier of vehicles, plant and electronics across the continent), and the used-vehicle trade, where Japan is the dominant export source for right-hand-drive markets in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and beyond. Because the per-unit yen value is small against currencies like the naira or shilling, buyers usually convert in tens of thousands of yen.
About the Tanzanian Shilling
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, TSh) is the official currency of Tanzania, issued by the Bank of Tanzania and notionally subdivided into 100 cents — though the cent denomination is no longer in circulation. Tanzania operates a managed-float regime, and the Shilling has been comparatively stable against the USD over the 2020s relative to peers, partly because of consistent gold-export revenue and a current-account balance closer to neutral. M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa (now branded Mixx by Yas) and Airtel Money dominate the in-country mobile-money landscape, and the Bank of Tanzania has been progressive in enabling cross-border M-Pesa Global transfers to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and beyond. Tanzania abolished the 2021 mobile-money transfer levy on P2P sends but retains a tiered withdrawal levy capped at TZS 4,000 per cash-out at agent or ATM.
