Know the Rules for Your Move in Uganda
A Class ‘G’ goods vehicle licence from the Transport Licensing Board, with a current gap: Uganda does not yet have a dedicated Consumer Protection Act.
Before you rely on this
Uganda licenses commercial goods vehicles nationally through the Transport Licensing Board (TLB), under the Ministry of Works and Transport, issuing a Class ‘G’ Licence (Goods Operators Vehicles) under the Traffic and Road Safety Act, Cap 361. Applications are processed in practice through the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA). On consumer protection, Uganda’s dedicated Consumer Protection Act does not yet exist: as of mid-2026, it remains a Bill under development, following the 2024 enactment of a separate Competition Act. Always confirm current requirements directly before hiring a mover.
