Tanzania Postage Due Stamp

Tanzania · 2000 · 1000 Shilingi

This postage due stamp features a large, clear numeral '1000' indicating the amount to be collected upon delivery. The design is functional, with the denomination dominating the visual space, framed by the country name 'TANZANIA' and the Swahili phrase 'TOZO LA POSTA', which translates to 'Postage Fee' or 'Postage Due'. The simple, two-color scheme emphasizes its utilitarian purpose.

Issued at the turn of the millennium, this stamp reflects the ongoing postal needs of Tanzania. Postage due stamps are used to collect insufficient postage from the recipient, ensuring the postal service is compensated for its services.
