Importing and registering, in brief

  1. Routes in

    Ethiopia is landlocked. Almost all equipment comes through the port of Djibouti, then by the Addis Ababa–Djibouti railway or by road.

  2. Customs

    Clearance is through the Ethiopian Customs Commission. Most importers use a licensed clearing agent.

  3. Foreign currency

    Importers pay through a local bank, which handles the foreign currency.

  4. Registering for road use

    Machines used on public roads are registered with the regional transport bureau where the owner is based.
