The rules that decide the deal

Fuel-burning vehicles cannot be imported. Only battery-electric vehicles are admitted, and the compliance route for those is confirmed per model.

Units land at Djibouti and move by road into Ethiopia, so the inland leg and the model’s certification both have to be in place before shipment.

Ethiopia import questions

What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Ethiopia?
Fuel-burning vehicles cannot be imported. Only battery-electric vehicles are admitted, and the compliance route for those is confirmed per model.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Ethiopia?
Ethiopia drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Fuel-burning vehicles cannot be imported. Only battery-electric vehicles are admitted, and the compliance route for those is confirmed per model.
Which port does a car from China clear at for Ethiopia?
Landlocked — overland from Djibouti. Units land at Djibouti and move by road into Ethiopia, so the inland leg and the model’s certification both have to be in place before shipment.
How much does it cost to import a car from China to Ethiopia?
Charges are confirmed per unit against the tariff in force, so this lane is quoted rather than priced from a table. Send the model, model year and engine size and you get the full landed cost.
How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Ethiopia?
RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
