Why the TZS/JPY 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 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.
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.
