Customs duty, often referred to as import duty, is a tax imposed on certain goods imported into Ethiopia. The amount of customs duty varies depending on factors such as the type of goods, their value, and the country of origin. The Ethiopian government collects customs duties as a source of revenue, which contributes to public services and development projects.
The determination of customs duty is based on the Harmonized System (HS) code, which categorizes goods for the purpose of customs assessment. Importers are required to declare the value of their goods accurately and pay the corresponding customs duties upon entry.
It’s important to note that Ethiopia is a member of various trade agreements and organizations that can influence customs duty rates. For example, Ethiopia is a signatory to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), which may affect duty rates for goods originating from member countries.
