Tanzania Postage Due Stamp

Tanzania · 1965 · 10c

This is the first postage due stamp issued by the newly formed United Republic of Tanzania. The design is purely typographic, featuring the denomination '10c' prominently in the center, framed by decorative elements and the country's name.

Issued in 1965, this stamp marks the philatelic transition following the 1964 union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar to form Tanzania. Postage due stamps were used to collect payment for mail sent with insufficient postage.
