Summary
The documents include the initial "List of Goods Produced by Child or Forced Labor" required by the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 (TVPRA List), a proposed update to the "List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor" (EO List) pursuant to Executive Order 13126 of 1999, and the 8th annual "Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor" on the efforts of 141 countries and territories to combat exploitive child labor. 

The TVPRA List aims to inform the public about 122 goods from 58 countries that the United States believes are produced, in violation of international standards, by forced labor, child labor, or both. The list cites the following industries in which child labor is used in Tanzania: cloves, coffee, gold, nile perch (fish), sisal, tanzanite, tea, and tobacco. The report can be find here.
