Customs and VAT for Ethiopia
Ethiopia has a near-zero de minimis — personal shipments up to 25 USD (~€24) are generally released without duty. Above 25 USD, 15% VAT and duty by HS code (0–35%) apply. The Ethiopian Customs Commission is notorious for slow clearance — shipments arrive via Addis Ababa and waits of 14–30 days are common. Addis Ababa is an important African aviation hub (Ethiopian Airlines), but customs warehouse capacity is limited.
