Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs VII
Executive Summary
Based on various pertinent policy documents of the country, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs has prepared a five-year Strategic Plan and has conducted an extensive Business
Process Re-engineering (BPR) study on most of its core functions. The outcomes of the
Strategic Plan and the BPR study have clearly underscored the role and contribution of
economic diplomacy to the successful realization of the development goals of the country
and have thereby identified specific economic diplomacy activities that should be carried out
by the Headquarters and the Missions abroad.
Foreign trade promotion is one of the core functions of the Ministry that have
undergone a thorough re-engineering. The re-engineering activity stressed the need for an
"operational" manual that contains the guidelines for the provision of foreign trade
promotion services by the Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions abroad. Accordingly, this manual
contains the operational steps that Ethiopian Missions and the diplomats therein,
specifically, those that are assigned for the task of promoting and safeguarding Ethiopian
interests in export and import trade, could use in their day to day activities.
In addition, the manual provides an extensive coverage of the performance of the
foreign trade sector in Ethiopia. Extensive data has also been used with a view to backing up
facts with figures, with the understanding that the data would need to be updated as time
goes by. The manual also touches on the domestic legal and regulatory framework shaping
the sector. Accordingly, Chapter One deals with an overview of the structure and prospects
of Ethiopia's foreign trade relations. As such, the Chapter extensively covers issues such as
export performance, trade balance, major export and import items, major destinations of
exports and major sources of imports, export opportunities/potential, and market access
conditions and opportunities for Ethiopian export products. Chapter Two extensively covers
issues such as the laws, regulations and the tariff structure; the incentive structures related to
foreign trade; modes of payment, delivery and transport; and transit regulations.
Chapter Three elaborates the specific steps and guidelines that a Mission and/ or a
diplomat should follow in order to efficiently and effectively deliver export promotion
services. It describes the steps to be taken, for instance, in assessing export market
opportunities, market research, organizing showrooms, participating in trade fairs and so on.
Chapter Four deals with activities and services related to facilitating priority imports and
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

technology transfer. It also covers issues related to acting as a procurement center for
Ethiopian imports. Chapter Five, contains the guidelines to be followed by Missions and
diplomats in their role as participants and facilitators of trade negotiations. More specifically,
the Chapter consists the steps and guidelines that focus on bilateral, regional and multi-
lateral trade negotiations. The last chapter in the main body, Chapter Six briefly describes the
tasks related to handling trade related disputes and complaints.
The manual also contains a substantial material in the form of eleven annexes. Annex I
contains the list and description of the major Ethiopian export products. The description of
the products consists of their HS (Harmonized System) codes, description, uses,
specification, production location and the major export destinations of the products. The
full addresses of the major exporters of Ethiopian export products is compiled in Annex II.
Annex III contains Mode of payment and External Trade Related Financial Regulations.
Annex IV provides a template or a brief outline for product market research. Annex VII
embodies trade enquiry form. Annex VI a-c depict, respectively, list of freight forwarders,
list of freight forwarders and shipping agents and list of shipping agents where as Annex VII
contains the full addresses of those Ethiopian institutions that are directly or indirectly
connected with foreign trade. Annex VIII depicts Ethiopian Export Performance by
Commodity. Annex IX contains Trade Balance of Ethiopia with Major Trading Partners.
The last two annexes (Annex X and XI) contain data for the year 2006 on the major export
and import items of the country (with description of the items, destination or origin, FOB
value in Birr in the case of exports and CIF value in the case of imports).
It is believed that the manual could serve as a good tool in the day to day operation
of the Ethiopian diplomats entrusted with the task of promoting foreign trade of the
country.

Introduction: Background and Objective
The Foreign Affairs and National Security Policy and Strategy document which is
currently under implementation was formulated and issued by the Government of the
Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in 2002. This document opened a new avenue and
chapter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Diplomatic Missions of Ethiopia in terms
of clearly defining the role and policy direction that the Ministry and the Missions should
pursue in the field of economic diplomacy. The said document articulated the goals,
strategies and priorities of the economic diplomacy efforts of the country. Based on this and
other pertinent policy documents of the country, the Ministry has prepared a five-year
Strategic Plan and has conducted an extensive Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) study
on most of its core functions.
The outcomes of the Strategic Plan and the BPR study have clearly underscored the
role and contribution of economic diplomacy to the successful realization of the
development goals of the country and have thereby identified specific economic diplomacy
activities that should be carried out by the Headquarters and the Missions abroad.
One of the core functions of the Ministry and the Ethiopian Missions that have
undergone re-engineering are trade and tourism promotion services. Accordingly, the BPR
study thoroughly assessed the weaknesses and strengths of the trade promotion services that
had hitherto been provided by the Ministry and the Missions, made recommendations and
re-designed new services and processes. One of the findings of the study is the need for an
"operational" manual that contains the guidelines for the provision of the newly identified
and re-designed trade promotion services by the Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions abroad. The
approval of that recommendation has, thus, given birth to the idea of preparing this manual.
Accordingly, this manual is prepared with the main objective of providing Ethiopian
Diplomatic Missions, and the diplomats therein, a compact and practical set of guidelines
that can be followed in the day to day trade promotion activities. While the main focus of
the manual is on providing the basic tools of conducting trade promotion activities, it
nevertheless covers the general foreign trade context in which the promotion services are to
be provided. As such, the whole of Chapter One and Chapter Two of the manual are
dedicated to providing the general picture of Ethiopia's foreign trade relations. Chapters 3 to
5 present concise guidelines for providing trade promotion services. More information

related to the major Ethiopian export products and their respective major exporters, foreign
trade statistics, various regulations and procedures related to foreign trade, etc. is provided in
the appendices (Annex I-XI). Last but not least, as time and space limitations make it
difficult to address every aspect of the promotion services in this manual, users are strongly
advised to consult the relevant BPR study documents as and when the need for more
information regarding a specific service process or activity arises.

Chapter One: Overview of Ethiopian Foreign Trade
Structure and Prospects
1.1. Foreign Trade Policy Environment
Needless to say, Ethiopia is one of the Least Developed Countries in the world. Its
economy is based on agriculture. As such, the sector contributes about 45% to the GDP,
85% to employment, 85% to export, supplies raw materials to the manufacturing sector and
food to the urban population. In recognition of this multi-dimensional role of agriculture in
the economy, the Government of Ethiopia has set Agriculture Development Led
Industrialization (ADLI) as a long-term national development strategy. The strategy
envisages that realization of agricultural development will fuel and ultimately bring about a
fundamental transformation of the entire economy.
In line with the basic tenets of ADLI, the country has enacted an industrial
development strategy that aims at attaining the international competitiveness of the sector,
in view of the competitive global environment. Other sectoral strategies in such areas as
road, education, capacity building, health and so forth have in them the lofty objective of
enhancing the productive and supply capacity as well as that of human and institutional
capacity of the country. The stable macroeconomic environment together with the free-
market economic system has enabled the private economic agents to make economic
decisions in the hitherto unprecedented scale.
These and similar other measures in a range of areas, coupled with the stable political
environment have yielded an encouraging economic dividends. As such, the national
economy has shown double digit growth rates in the several most recent years. In
maintaining such a high level of economic growth, the country envisages not only to attain
the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) at the target date but also to propel itself into
the middle income category in the not-too-distant future.
It can thus be said that the aforementioned favorable policy environment,
accompanied by concerted actions, no doubt, would lay a strong foundation for the export
sector to flourish now and in the years to come.

1.2 Foreign Trade Policy Targets and Strategies
Generally speaking, Ethiopia's foreign trade policy has three general objectives: (1)
developing and ensuring broad international market for the country's agricultural products
in particular; (2) generating sufficient foreign exchange which is essential for importing
capital goods, intermediate inputs and other goods and services that are necessary for the
growth and development of the economy; and (3) improving the efficiency and international
competitiveness of domestic producers through participation in the international market.
The export promotion strategy of Ethiopia is upheld by three main pillars: (1) focusing
on limited number of priority exportable products; (2) focusing on providing an all-round
support to exporters; and (3) executing export promotion activities in a well organized
manner. (Since the export promotion activities of Ethiopia's Diplomatic Missions form part
and parcel of the overall national efforts, these three pillars should also form the basis on
which the export promotion services provided by the Missions are to be founded.) While the
first pillar implies that the focus of the country's (and hence the Missions') export promotion
activities are to be selected exportable agricultural products in the medium term, this does
not mean that other (non-priority) products are to be discouraged or ignored.
1.3 Export Performance
The Government of Ethiopia has been exerting at most effort to bolster the export
sector. This has not only resulted in sustained and remarkable growth in the export sector
but also has paid off in terms of diversifying the narrow range of export products through
new investments in export sectors such as floriculture and textile. The multi-dimensional
supportive interventions of the Government under the umbrella strategy of ADLI have led
to encouraging results in most key export product categories; in particular, in products such
as pulses and oil seeds. The growth trend in the export sector is expected to continue at the
current or at an improved rate in the near future.
In order to show the performance of the export sector during the past few years
more clearly, attempt has been made to present data related to the past 10 years in Table 1
below based on the raw data obtained from the Ethiopian Customs Authority1. This is
1 The Economic and Business Affairs General-Directorate managed to obtain raw data on Ethiopia's exports and imports for the ten years period from 1997-2006, which it has deposited in its data base. The
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 13
complemented by the 6 years' data presented in Annex VIII. From the data it is abundantly
clear that the performance of the export sector of Ethiopia has indeed been remarkable in
the past few years. As such, the total value of exports has increased from ETB 3.9 billion in
1997 to ETB 8.9 billion in 2006 which is a two and half fold growth. As Annex VIII clearly
shows, in the period between 1994 - 1999 E.C., export earnings grew on average by 22%
with the earnings rising from USD 436 million in 1994 E. C. to USD 1.2 billion in 1999 E.C.
Encouraged by the consecutive growth of earnings from the export sector, the government
envisages that such earnings would stand between USD 1.6-1.8 billion in the year 2000 E.C.
(2007/08).

1.4 Major Export Products3
The structure of the export sector of Ethiopia is characterized by high commodity
concentration as is the case with least developed countries. That is, the sector is dominated
General-Directorate made computations of exports, imports, trade balance, direction of trade etc. from this raw data. 2 The Ethiopian Customs Authority issues a full year's data only at the end of December of a given year. 3 For more practical purposes, a brief description of the major export products of Ethiopia and the addresses
of the major exporters is annexed towards the end of this manual.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 14
by a few primary products that account for a lion's share of the country's export earnings.
During the period 1994-1999 E.C., the leading export products of the country were coffee;
oilseeds, pulses and spices; chat; hides and skins; and in very recent years flower and gold.
For example, during the 1999 E.C. (2006/07), the share of the biggest contributors to the
export earnings of the country was as follows: coffee (36%), pulses, oil seeds and spices
(22.6%) of which the oilseeds were the most dominant (15.9%), gold (8.2), chat (7.8%), and
hides, skins and leather products (7.6%). In absolute terms this means that coffee accounted
for USD 424 million; pulses, oil seeds and spices' share was USD 267.6 million of which
oilseeds accounted for USD 188 million; gold USD 97 million;; and hides and skins fetched
USD 90 million; chat fetched USD 88.5 million and so on in the same year (i.e. 2006/2007).
It is therefore abundantly clear that export earnings from coffee still dominate and indeed
exceed that of the second major export earners, namely pulses, oilseeds and spices by USD
157 million in that year.
There has been, however, an interesting new development in the export composition of
the country in recent years. That is, even though the sector is still dominated by a few
primary products and coffee is still the biggest foreign exchange earner for the country, its
percentage contribution to export earnings has gradually declined from 57% on average during
the 1997/98-2000/01 period to 37% during 2000/01-2006/07 period. That is a decline from
a share of more than half to about one third in a matter of few years. As can be seen from
the annexed data, this phenomenon occurred not because the absolute total (dollar) amount
that coffee earns in a year has declined but because other sectors' contribution to export
earnings has increased. That is, the contribution of product categories such as pulses and
oilseeds and new comers such as flower has reduced the dominance of coffee in the export
sector of Ethiopia - indicating a process of gradual horizontal export diversification. Indeed
the earnings from flower export have shown a dramatic growth such that it rose from a mere
USD 159,000 in 1994 E.C. to USD 65 million in 1999 E.C. which is a four hundred fold
growth, in a matter of six years. Even though the country is trying to increase its earnings
from coffee by increasing its supply and by activities such as branding its coffees (Sidamo,
Harar, Yirgachefe, etc.), it is even more determined to reduce the relative contribution of the
product in the export sector by diversifying its export composition.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 15
1.5 Import Structure and Major Import Products
A look at Table 1 above shows that not only exports but also imports of Ethiopia
have shown a dramatic increase in value in recent years. In fact, imports have increased in
value much more than exports. This is a reflection of the effects of liberalization of external
trade sector and the rising demand for import in the country as the result of the robust
economic growth and investment activity; and possibly, the rising international prices of
petroleum and petroleum related import products. As a result, the deficit in trade balance
went from ETB 3.6 billion in 1997 to ETB 31.2 billion in 2006.
However, a look at the structure and composition of Ethiopian imports, reveals that
capital goods account for the lion's share in the country's import expenditure, followed by
imports of non-durable consumer goods, semi-finished goods and petroleum.
1.6 Direction of Foreign Trade
1.6.1 Major Destinations of Ethiopian Exports
The General-Directorate's computations from the data obtained from the Ethiopian
Customs Authority reveal that the share of the major destinations of Ethiopian exports in
terms of individual trading partners or countries for the year 2005 to have been the
following: Germany (13.3%), China (9.1%), Japan (7.3%), Djibouti (5.9%), Saudi Arabia
(6%), Italy (5%), and the US (4.7%). Indeed during the three years, i.e. from 2004-2006,
Germany remained the single most important destination for the Ethiopian exports. In the
same period, the second, the third and the fourth, etc places were alternatively taken by
other countries. As such these places were occupied in 2006 by Japan, China, Saudi Arabia,
Italy and Djibouti; in 2005 by China, Japan, Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia; and in 2004 by
the US, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Italy. This means that from Europe, Germany and from
Asia, China and Japan were the most important trading partners for Ethiopian exports. A
notable fact regarding the destination of Ethiopian exports in recent years is that Djibouti's
share went down from 28.05 percent of the total in 2001 to just 5.99 percent in 2005 while
that of China's shot up from a meager 0.39 percent to 9.30 percent.4
4 The composition of Ethiopian exports for the year 2006 is appended herewith.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 16
1.6.2 Major Sources of Ethiopian Imports
According to Ministry of Trade and Industry's computations (based on Ethiopian
Customs Authority data), the most important source of Ethiopian import is the Middle East
and Asia which accounted for 57.5% in 2004/05 which was a remarkable rise from its share
of 15% in 2000/01. This is followed by Europe whose share showed a slight increase in the
same period from 23.1% to 25.5%. The third and fourth places were taken by North
America and Africa
As for the individual trading partners, Saudi Arabia's share which was 9.7 percent in
2003 went up to 15.7 in 2005 while that of China which was around 9.6 percent as recently
as 2003 has grown to 12.7 percent in 2005. In the case of China, the increase is basically the
result of the fact that that country has become a major source of lower cost consumer goods
and other basic manufactured items. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the increase is attributed to
the petroleum price hikes witnessed in the period under consideration as the country is the
major source of Ethiopia's petroleum and related products. In general, Saudi Arabia and
China are the two most important sources of Ethiopian imports in recent year; thereby
demonstrating the fact that the Middle East and the Far East are the major sources of the
Ethiopian imports.5
1.7 Trade Balance
In the earlier sections, it was noted that the value of Ethiopian exports has shown a
consistent and a remarkable growth in recent years. It was also noted that the imports of the
country have shown even more pronounced increase during the same period. Consequently,
the trade balance of the country (which is the difference between the total value of exports
and that of imports) has been showing a growing deficit. For example the surge in imports
from ETB 7.5 billion in 1997 to ETB 40 billion in 2006 compared to the export earnings
which stood at 3.9 billion and 8.8 billion in the same period led to the deterioration of the
balance of trade position. This meant that the share of export in import financing
(export/import) declined from 52% in 1997 to 22% in 2006/07.
Consistent with this overall situation, Ethiopia's trade balance with its major trading
partners calls for concern. Accordingly, as Annex IX clearly depicts Ethiopia had deficit
5 The composition and origin of Ethiopian imports for the year 2006 is attached as an appendix at the end of this manual.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 17
trade balance in 2004/2005 with all its major trading partners (except with Germany).
During this period the country had singe largest trade deficit with Saudi Arabia, followed in
descending order by China, USA, UAE, Italy, UK and so on. Earlier in 2000/2001, except
with the Sudan and Djibouti, the country had the largest deficit with China, followed in
descending order by Italy, USA, UK, France, Saudi Arabia and so on. The picture is almost
the same in the intervening period.
The aforementioned deficit in Ethiopia's trade balance can be interpreted in two ways.
On a negative note, it can be seen as cause for alarm since such a wide and growing gap
between the value of exports and imports of a country means that the country continues to
need other sources of financing its import demand such as foreign aid and credit; and needs
the resources at an increasing rate. On a positive note, the fact that the lion's share of the
value of imports is taken up by capital goods plus intermediate inputs is in fact an indication
of the fact that the domestic economy is growing and the productive capacity of the country
is expanding at an increasing rate. In any case, the fact still remains that Ethiopia remains
what is technically known as an "import compressed" economy - an economy whose growth
potential could artificially be limited by its inability to import what it needs for growth due to
the gap between the value of exports and the import demand.
The fact that most of the import products of the country are "necessities" such as
capital goods and petroleum means that trying to limit imports is not really a viable option to
solve the problem of the persistent and widening trade imbalance. Therefore, the challenge
facing the country is to increase the pace of the growth of exports even more. It is with this
understanding that the Government of Ethiopia is very keen to boost exports and has, as
was mentioned in previous sections, made export promotion and expansion as a top priority
in its economic development strategies. It is thus incumbent upon our diplomats to leave no stone
unturned to search for markets for our products as well as to ensure mobilization of other development
financial resources such as ODA, private capital for investment, private remittances, and so on to address the
supply and productive capacity problems of the country thereby to bolster the export capacity of same.
1.8 Export Potential/ Opportunities
According to Investment Guide to Ethiopia: Opportunities and Conditions which was published
jointly by UNCTAD and ICC (in 2004), the fact that Ethiopia offers a stable political and
economic environment as well as security; exceptional climate; almost complete absence of

routine corruption; continuously improving infrastructure and public service delivery; and
abundant, cheap and trainable labor force make it potentially an ideal destination for
investment - and by implication for export. More specifically, even though Ethiopia is a large
and very diverse country, the economic and the political environment is characterized by
very little crime and disorder. The fact that Ethiopia has 18 ecological zones and five climatic
zones ranging from alpine to desert means that the country is ideal for a wide variety of
agricultural activities. Since Ethiopia is one of the less developed countries with the lowest
levels of corruption, it can claim to offer one of the cleanest business climates in the
developing world.
Thus, besides all its untapped natural and human resources, the publication cited above
describes Ethiopia as "Safe, peaceful, stable and very nearly free of corruption". This means
that its economy has great potential to grow and prosper. Since the economic policies of the
country are export oriented, economic growth in the country translates into export growth.
Product specific export opportunities in brief are as follows:
Coffee
Ethiopian coffee is among the very best in the world. The diversified type of Coffee
Arabica produced in the country is highly valued in the world markets, including for its
gourmet, specialty and organic coffee. It is also used for blending with and upgrading coffees
produced in other countries. Currently, the total area of the country covered by coffee is
estimated to be more than 400,000 hectares and the total production at 350,000 tones per
year. Annual exports approached 180,000 tons in 2006/07, a rapid rise compared to 58,000
tons in 1990/91.. Coffee remains the single most important export crop, fetching 424
million USD in 2006/07. Preliminary studies show that there is an ample room to increase
coffee production through area expansion, productivity improvements and through further
processing. Only less than 4% of the estimated 12.5 million hectares of highly suitable land is
covered by coffee at the moment; and if the current 5-6 quintals/hectare yield could be
improved to 10-12 quintals/hectare achieved by similar coffee variety producing countries
like Kenya, it is possible to double the current level of total output from the existing
cultivated land area. The successful conclusion of the current efforts underway to register
and license fine Ethiopian coffees Sidamo, Harar and Yirgacheffe as brand names holds a
promising future for Ethiopia to harness huge benefits from its natural resource endowment.

Livestock and Livestock Products (Hides and Skins, Leather and Meat)
Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa. It is estimated that there are
about 35 million heads of cattle, 11 million sheep, 10 million goats and 1 million camels.
From theses resources, for example, Ethiopia is capable of supplying 16-18 million pieces of
hides and skins per year. Not only the volume but also the unique quality of Ethiopian
leather, some of which are considered to be of prime quality in international markets, gives
the country a competitive edge over other countries. For example, Ethiopian goatskin
named after a locality known as Bati is accorded a high place in the market to the extent that
it is referred to as "Bati Genuine" (the international name given for high quality goat skins)
and fetches the highest premium price in the world market while anything that looks like it is
referred as Bati type and may be offered the next best price.
Currently, there are 19 tanneries in operation,, four of which are state owned and the
remaining under private ownership. They mainly produce semi-processed products for
export and small quantities of finished leather for the domestic leather products industry and
very small share for export. There are about 12 small and medium scale industries engaged in
the production of leather garments, footwear and small leather articles for the export and
domestic market. Ethiopia has great potential for the rapid development of its leather sector.
Its short term strategy is on moving all leather production from the wet-blue stage to the
crust and eventually finished stage. The strategy for the long-term is to gradually convert all
available hides and skins to finished leather products: shoe uppers, shoes, jackets, bags, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the country earned USD 89.5 million in 2006/07 from the
export of hides and skins.
With regard to meat and meat products, there are currently 5 export abattoirs of
international standard and five meat processing plants which are capable of producing fresh
and frozen as well as canned meat (such as corned beef, minced beef, stewed steak, corned
mutton, goulash, etc.). The current cumulative capacity of these plants will enable the
country to supply about 48,910 tones of chilled and frozen meat and 16,000 tones of canned
meat annually. The rapid rise in export earnings from 1.7 million USD in 2000/01 to 18.3
million USD in 2005/06 is a vivid testimony of the opportunities available in the sector for
further expansion. There is also a huge potential for export of live animals. Natural pasture
which constitutes 51% of the total land area of the country is the main source of animal feed
which provides for the growth of livestock free of chemical and hormones with great appeal
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 20
for health conscious developed country consumers. Given the availability of suitable
infrastructure and the export capacity of firms, the country can export large number of heads
of sheep and goats and over 100,000 heads of cattle annually. There was a dramatic leap in
the export of live animals such that in a short period of seven years the export earnings
jumped from a mere USD 18,000 in 2000/01 to 36.8 million USD in 2006/07 thereby
implying that the country has enormous potential yet to be tapped from the resources.
Pulses and Oilseeds
The fact that Ethiopia occupies a unique geographical area with sunny summer days,
mild winters, and has similar other favorable agro-ecological conditions means that it is
highly conducive for cultivation of most types of pulses and oil seeds. Since oilseed
production in the country is usually undertaken without the use of pesticides and fertilizers,
the products can be sold with organic labeling at premium price if appropriate certification is
acquired. The oilseed export showed a rapid expansion and as such fetched 188 million USD
in 2006/07 compared to about 37 million USD in 2001/02. Export of pulses also grew
dramatically during the same period.
Horticulture and Floriculture
Another area where Ethiopia has great export potential is horticulture and floriculture.
The country has agro-ecological, location and labor cost comparative advantage in the
production and export of various types of tropical fruits, vegetables, and cut flowers. It also
has ideal condition for items such as bobby beans, red onion, papaya, orange, potatoes,
asparagus, avocado, mango and many others. The Ethiopian Government encourages
companies with experience in agro-processing to invest in the floriculture sector. The recent
investment boom in the cut flower production and export is a testimony that the country is
capable of competing with major exporting countries such as Ecuador, Colombia and
Kenya. Easy access to suitable and suitably located land, with host of generous government
incentives provided to investors in the area, have opened up a great opportunity for
production and export of floricultural and horticultural products. As a result, the rapidly
growing domestic and foreign investment in the sector is expected to triple the total export
(which was worth 81 million USD in 2006/07 (i.e., 64 million USD in the case of floriculture
and 17 million USD in the case of horticulture) in the next two years.
Textile and Garments
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 21
Yet another area that holds great export potential for the country is the textile and
garment sector. The existing capacity as well as the potential to expand further the supply of
cotton through area expansion and productivity improvements, the availability of large
reservoir of young easily trainable and low-wage labor force, the industrial tradition already
established and the preferential market access the country enjoys in the US and EU markets
under AGOA and EBA arrangements, respectively, together with the huge importance and
support provided to the sector by the government mean that the sector is sure to become a
competitive player in the world markets and a major foreign exchange earner in not so
distant future. The foreign exchange earning from the sector rose to 12.6 million USD in
2006/07 from a mere 3.5 million USD in 2000/01, demonstrating the great potential to
increase export earnings.
1.9 Trade in Services
Notwithstanding the deficit in merchandise trade balance, net receipts from services
exhibited a surplus throughout the period under consideration thereby offsetting part of the
trade deficit. This was the result of rapid growth in receipts from travel, transportation and
government services in the period under investigation. Data compiled by the NBE reveals
that from 1997/98 to 2004/05 receipts from travel went up from USD 35.2 to USD179.9
million; transportation from USD 205 million to USD 416.2 million; and government
services from USD 82.9 million to USD 197.9 million.
These positive developments offset the observed pick-up in the payment for travel,
transportation and other services, thus contributing to the surplus in the services account,
which stood at USD 241.6 million in 2004/05. As a result of this and other net receipts
(such as official transfers) in the services account, the staggering deficit in trade balance
which was USD 2.8 billion in 2004/05 was reduced to USD 960 million in the current
account balance in the same year. According to data from NBE, in 2006/2007, foreign
exchange receipts from services and private transfers registered 18% and 59% growth and
totaled 1.3 and 1.1 billion USD, respectively. In the same period, official transfers (grants
and loans in the form of financial and material aid) amounted to 1.5 billion USD of which
78% was grant. All in all, the country obtained 6.2 billion USD from all sources including
export earnings in the budget year 2006/2007. As a result, the balance of payments
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 22
recovered from the deficit it encountered in the 2005/06 budget year and showed surplus at
the end of 2006/2007 budget year.
1.10 Market Access and Opportunities for Ethiopian Exports
Ethiopia enjoys preferential market access by virtue of being a member of the
COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) which embraces 23 countries
with total population of about 380 million. A study commissioned by the government is
underway to assess the implications of the zero-tariff regime under the COMESA Free
Trade Area (FTA) arrangement. Meanwhile, Ethiopian exports are entitled to benefit from
the customs duty reduction arrangement introduced before the establishment of the FTA
once they meet the COMESA Rules of Origin criteria.
Ethiopia has embarked on the process of the WTO accession negotiation by submitting
its "Memorandum on the Foreign Trade Regime" to the Organization. The successful
completion of the process would render the country, inter alias, unfettered access to the
markets of the global body whose membership is increasingly assuming a universal character.
Ethiopia is also involved in the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations that
aim at addressing reciprocal market access issues between ACP-EU and among the ACP
country blocks under the framework of the Cotonou Agreement which has redefined the
relationship between African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries and the EU.
Further more, Ethiopia qualifies for a preferential market access to EU markets under
the Everything But Arms (EBA) initiative and to the US markets under the African Growth
and Opportunity Act (AGOA). EBA is a preferential market access given by the EU to a
group of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) (including Ethiopia) that allows the countries
to export their products duty free and without quantitative restrictions, excluding arms and
ammunitions. Similarly, AGOA is part of the Trade and Development Act of the US
Government promulgated in 2000. This non-reciprocal trade act provides that African
products meeting eligibility requirements will receive duty and quota free treatment up to
2015. The Act provides most sub-Saharan African countries (including Ethiopia) with the
most liberal access to the US market available to any country or region with which the US
does not have a Free trade Agreement. A broad range of manufactured goods from Ethiopia
are entitled to preferential market access under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP)
in Australia, Canada, Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, USA and
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 23
most countries in the EU. No quota restrictions are placed on Ethiopian exports falling
under the 3000-plus items currently eligible for GSP treatment. The People's Republic of
China has also granted almost all Ethiopian export products (agricultural products and raw
materials, in particular) duty free access to its markets. Ethiopia, as an LDC and as acceding
country to the WTO, is expected to benefit from the duty-free and quota-free (DFQF)
market access opportunities for LDCs being negotiated in the WTO in the context of the
ongoing Doha development Agenda negotiations.
On top of all these, Ethiopia's geographical proximity to the Middle East and Gulf
countries offers great potential market for Ethiopian export products. There is also great
potential particularly for export of perishable but high value products (such as floricultural
and horticultural products) from Ethiopia to the EU due to its geographical proximity
(relative to its competitors). All in all, the aforementioned potential renders Ethiopia a well
placed country not only as an investment destination but also as a springboard to huge
market destinations.

Chapter Two: Domestic Policy, Legal and Administrative
Framework Relevant to Import-Export Trade
2.1 Laws, Regulations, Procedures, National Tariff Structure
2.1.1 Export Regulation
(a) Registration requirement for engaging in exporting
Export registration requirements in Ethiopia follow the same procedures as those
that apply to import registration requirements; these procedures have been elaborated in
2.1.3 (a) below.
(b) Export Licensing procedure
The details of export licensing procedure are the same as the import licensing procedure.
The proclamation and regulations mentioned in 2.1.3 below apply also for export
procedures. As in the case of importers, exporters are required authorization to export
certain products. Export products, which require authorization and authorizing government
institutions, are indicated here under:
• Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development for coffee, forest products, live
animals including wild animals, plants and birds;
• Ministry of Mines and Energy for mineral products, such as marbles, gold, and other
precious metals and stones.
In addition to the above-mentioned government ministries, the Quality and Standards
Authority of Ethiopia gives authorization by inspecting and certifying Export Products for
which relevant Ethiopian Standards have been established and are made mandatory under
Council of Ministers Regulation No. 13/1990.
2.1.2 Export Procedures
There are a range of procedures and various types of documentation required for
export of goods from Ethiopia. Upon the decision to accept a purchase order, the first thing
an exporter needs to do is to finalize the export contract stipulating the method of payment
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 25
for the export consignment. Then it has to apply for the registration of export order with
one of the commercial banks operating in the country or the National Bank of Ethiopia.
According to the regulations issued by the National bank of Ethiopia, all exports except
coffee have to be registered with any of the commercial banks operating in the country, and
only the registration for export of coffee should take place at the national Bank of Ethiopia.
The first stage in the registration process involves registering the initial import intent
issued by the buyer. The documents required at this stage are a valid export license and a
document that indicates the purchase intent from the buyer. The second stage involves
finalizing the export contract and acquiring an export permit that allows the export of that
particular consignment. The export contract required by the commercial banks includes the
following copies depending on the modes of payment involved: LC (6 copies), advance
payment (5 copies), CAD (5 copies) and consignment note (5 copies). At this stage, the
exporter is required to fill the Customs Clearance Annex form issued by the commercial
bank on behalf of the Ethiopian Customs Authority. This later facilitates the clearance of
goods at the checkpoints by the Customs Authority.
After preparing the export goods with the product description in the export contract,
the exporter has to make arrangements for suitable packaging and apply to the Quality and
Standards Authority or other pre-shipment institutions of the country depending on the type
and nature of the product to be exported. The next step is to acquire a certificate of origin if
the regulations of the importing country require so. This is necessary if the exports are to
qualify under some preferential tariff or other treatment for originating in Ethiopia. The next
step is acquiring customs clearance from the Customs Authority in order to be able to pass
all Ethiopian checkpoints. The documents required for this purpose are a valid export license; export
permit for the consignment from a commercial bank or the NBE; certificate of origin; quality and standard or
pre-shipment inspection certificate;, commercial invoice, packing list, Customs Declarations Annex form
stamped by a commercial bank; and an insurance certificate. Finally, after delivering the goods by
fulfilling the necessary documents, the exporter hands over all the relevant documents to its
banker for collecting payments.

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 26
2.1.3 Import Regulation6
(a) Registration Requirements for Engaging in Import
The Government of Ethiopia has issued Proclamation No. 67/1997 (amendment
Proclamation No. 376/2003) and Council of Ministers Regulations No. 13 /1997
(Amendment Regulation No. 95/2003) for Federal Government Commercial Registration
and Licensing. The requirements are clearly stipulated in the Proclamations and the
Regulations. These are:
• No person shall engage in commercial activities such as import, export, wholesale,
retail, manufacturing and service rendering business unless registered in a
commercial register.
• Foreign nationals considered as domestic investors and Ethiopians who wish to have
an import license and engage in any business activities in Ethiopia have to make a
principal commercial registration. For this purpose, a businessperson has to be
registered principally at the Ministry of Trade and Industry or at regional states trade
bureau. Principal commercial registration is made only once except it is amended
upon the request of the trader when he/she wants to change the particulars in the
initial registration.
Whereas the businessperson (physical or juridical) wants to open branches at different
places he/she makes a summary registration at the Ministry of Trade and Industry or
regional states trade bureau where he/she opens a branch. Such registration is made by citing
the particulars entered in the principal commercial register in brief. For Ethiopian nationals a
recent passport size photograph, a complete application form and photocopy of the
applicant's ID card is the requirement to be registered for a principal and a summary
registration.
Foreign nationals considered as domestic investors shall apply for a principal or
summary registration by completing and submitting the application form to the Ministry of
Trade and Industry together with the following in two copies:
• his/her recent passport size photograph;
6 Adapted from MOTI (December 2006), Memorandum on Foreign Trade Regime: Ethiopia, Addis Ababa.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 27
• a photocopy of the pages of his/her passport which identify him/her and indicate
his/her legal entry into the country;
• investment permit; and
• Photocopy of his residence permit.
• Registration fee: (a) Principal registration (ETB 80 or USD 9.30) (b) Summary
registration (ETB 10 or USD 1.20)
Unless adding value, foreign nationals are not allowed to engage in import-export
trade.
(b) Characteristics of the National Tariff
The national tariff is based on the Harmonized System (HS). The legal framework
for the application of the HS is Article 4 of the International Convention on the
Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System and Ratification Proclamation No.
67/1993, Article 5 of the Definitions of Power and Duties of the Council of Ministers and
the Executive Organs of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Proclamation No.
4/1994 and Article 51 (1) of Proclamation 60/1997. All Customs tariffs revisions and
amendments since 1993 have been done based on the Internationally Accepted
Commodities Descriptions and Coding System of the HS including the latest amendment of
import tariffs Regulation No. 209/2003, dated January 9, 2003.
The Harmonized System (HS) is articulated in 4 digits, 6 digits and 8 digits of the
Harmonized System (HS) tariff item number. The HS 1996 version had been replaced by the
2002 version as from January 1, 2003. Both import and export tariffs are based on ad
valorem duties. There are no preferential tariffs other than for imports from the COMESA
member states. All imports from the Sudan (Proclamation No 318/2003 and Article 4 of the
Agreement), and imports of salt, fish and fish products, and bottled or canned water from
Djibouti are zero-rated. The import duty rates for the rest of imports from COMESA
member states are 10 percent less than the (most favored nation) MFN duty rates.
A series of customs tariff amendments and measures have been taken since 1993.
The maximum import tariff has been decreased step by step from 230 percent to 35 percent.
The average tariff rate has also been reduced from 41.6 percent to 17.5 percent and tariff
bands from 23 to 6 including the zero rate bands. As per Regulation No.80/2002, the
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 28
existing customs tariff amendment has been done in January 2003. At present, there are five
import tariff bands excluding zero rates. They are 5,10,20,30 and 35 percent. Accordingly,
the tariff bands, the number of tariff lines, imports and share of imports for the year 2003
are shown in the Table below.
Table 2: The Existing Distribution of Tariff Bands (2003)
Source: Ministry of Finance & Economic Development, based on Ethiopian Customs
Authority data.
* Including 5 tariff lines that could not be allocated among the bands.
The number of tariff lines is 5608, out of which 5424 are subject to ad valorem
duties while the rest are duty free items and prohibited. Currently the lowest and highest
tariffs are 5% and 35% respectively, which makes the dispersion of 30%. The current simple
arithmetic average of all tariff lines, is 20 % and the weighted average tariff rate is 17.5 %. As
indicated in Table 3 above, the share of 2003 annual imports of goods falling within each
band is as follows: zero percent band, 4.3 %; five percent band, 20.1 %; ten percent band,
15.8%, twenty percent band, 13.7 %; thirty percent band, 15.1 %; thirty-five percent band,
31.0 %. In general, the duty-free category of imports is mostly comprised of fertilizers,
articles of wood, railway or tramway locomotives, rolling-stock and parts thereof, aircraft,
spacecraft and parts thereof, etc. Within the 5 and 10 percent bands are raw materials and
machineries, which are used by manufacturing industries. Items within the 20 percent band
include organic chemicals, carton, boxes, envelopes, sacks and bags, thread, synthetic
filaments, artificial filaments, yarn and synthetic monofilament staple fibers. Items within the
30 and 35 percent bands include perfumes, soaps, tiles, transmission belts, ornaments, silk,
cotton, jewelry, footwear, motor vehicles, textiles products and toys. To encourage sectoral
development, and to accommodate social health and security issues, the Ethiopian customs
tariff book also contains the second schedule which mainly lists conditional exemptions at
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 29
nil or reduced rates and exemptions at nil for importation by or on behalf of privileged
organizations, persons, public bodies and institutions.
(c) Tariff Quotas and Tariff Exemptions
Ethiopia does not apply tariff quotas. However, there are tariff exemptions (relief from
duties and taxes) for various kinds of imports. These include:
• Exemptions granted on imports by diplomatic missions or consular privileges
according to the Vienna Convention;
• Relief on goods imported for education, scientific and cultural materials (UNESCO
agreement);
• Equipment or material related to International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO
Convention);
• Commercial samples and advertising materials;
• Importation of tourist publicity documents and materials;
• Goods for display or use at exhibitions, fairs and meetings;
• Relief on personal effects imported by investors and capital goods for the specific
project under the permission of government authorities;
• For goods imported for home use by international organizations and etc.;
• Exemptions for humanitarian and religious purposes; and
• Tariff exemptions granted by Proclamation no. 249/2001 (revised in 207) as export
trade duty incentive scheme.
(d) Import licensing procedure
Pursuant to Proclamation No. 67/1997 (Amendment Proclamation No.376/2003) and
Council of Ministers Regulations No.13/1997 (Amendment Regulation No.95/2003),
registered importers are required to obtain license from the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
The import of certain goods and materials are regulated from the line of responsibility
entrusted upon government offices and authorities. In line with this, there are offices, which
administer the imports of different products. The products that need authorization and the
relevant institutions are indicated here below:
• Road Transport Authority - for imports of motor vehicles and transport machinery
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 30
• Ministry of Health (Drug Administration and Control Authority) - for human and
animal drugs and medical equipment
• Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development - for pesticides, seeds, plants and
other articles, which are liable to be infested or infected with plant pests, live animals
and animal products.
The Quality and Standard Authority of Ethiopia gives import accreditation by inspecting
and certifying products for which relevant Ethiopian Standards have been established and
are made mandatory under Council of Ministers Regulation No. 13/1990. Communication
apparatus and similar equipment like radio receivers, gaming machines, lottery tickets and
games; armaments, dynamites and fire guns, cigarettes and petroleum are exclusively
imported by the Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation, National Lottery
Administration, Ministry of Defence and Ethiopian Tobacco and Cigarette Enterprise and
Ethiopian Petroleum Enterprise respectively.
(d) Rules of Origin
Ethiopia has not established its own rules of origin. However, it applies the
COMESA rules of origin for imports from and exports to COMESA member states. The
Ethiopian Customs Authority also signs the GSP, EUR1, and ICO certificates and provides
VISA for AGOA beneficiaries.
2.2 Incentives Structure Related to Import-Export Trade
As was stated in previous sections, the Ethiopian Government is keen to encourage
exports and to attract foreign investment in priority sectors. Accordingly, it has drawn out
various legal and policy incentives structures and specific strategies to this end. One such
incentive structure is the tariff and duty exemption scheme granted under Procl. No.
249/2001 (as revised in 2007) and is known as the Export Trade Duty Incentive Scheme
Establishment Proclamation. The revised proclamation deepens the Export Trade Duty
Incentive Scheme by addressing the limitations observed in the implementation process of
the earlier one and extends the scheme to the 'indirect exporters' that contribute to the
growth of export trade. It is worth mentioning at this juncture that all export products are
exempt from any taxes as well as export duty payments. Needless to say, such exemption
would enhance the price competitiveness of export in the world market.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 31
The aforementioned incentives include three schemes: Duty Drawback, Voucher and
Bonded Manufacturing Warehouses. All the three schemes are intended to provide exporters
with duty and tax free access to inputs from all sources regardless of the origin of imports.
The following brief description is given in the interest of providing a better feel of these first
set of schemes:
(a) Duty Draw-back Scheme
According to Proclamation No. 249/2001 (as revised in 2007), duty draw-back means a
scheme by which duty and taxes paid on raw materials used in the production of
commodities is refunded upon exportation of the commodity processed and shall include
refund of duties paid on goods re-exported in the same condition for being not in
conformity with purchase order specifications, damaged, short delivery or not in market
demand. The same Proclamation defines "Duty" to mean all indirect taxes and duties paid
on raw materials and commodities imported or produced locally. The beneficiaries of duty
draw-back scheme include (a) producer-exporter wholly or partially or occasionally engaged
in exporting their products; (b) indirect producer-exporters wholly, partially or occasionally
supplying their products to producer-exporters or exporters in the form of raw materials or
finished goods; (c) indirect producer-exporters supplying imported raw materials to
producer-exporters without processing them; (d) exporters (e) persons or organizations re-
exporting commodities or raw materials they have imported upon payment of duties if being
not in conformity with purchase specifications, damaged, short delivered or not in market
demand.
Regarding the duty draw-back scheme rate, the Proclamation stipulates that when the
export of raw material or commodity on which duty to be drawn-back is ascertained:
• If re-exported in the same condition, 95% of the duty paid shall be refunded;
• If exported after being processed or used for packing and containing commodities,
100% of duty paid shall be refunded.
(b) Voucher Scheme
This is a scheme where individuals and organizations that are engaged in wholly or
partially exporting their products are granted eligibility certificate from the Ministry of Trade
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 32
and Industry and are issued a "voucher book" by the Customs Authority. To be a beneficiary
of the Voucher Scheme persons and organizations must, among others, fulfill the following
criteria: Have manufacturing or exporting license; submit at the beginning of the budget year
their annual business and export plan; submit input-output coefficients; supply information
concerning raw materials wasted in the process of production; submit evidence of export
performance in the last two years if they are not new to the sector; and sign an agreement
with the Customs Authority undertaking to fulfill obligations of the scheme. If the exporters
are new entrants into the sector, they must submit their annual export plan and investment
certificate and/or trade license from the appropriate government organ.
Regarding the procedure for the application of the Voucher Scheme:
• The Customs Authority shall issue Voucher Book on which is entered the amount of
duty to be paid on raw materials they may import, to producers who are desiring to
become beneficiaries of the Voucher Scheme upon satisfying the conditions stated
above;
• Upon arrival of imported raw materials at the customs port, the producer importing
the raw materials shall present his/her Voucher Book to the customs station where
the raw materials are declared. The customs officer at the station shall deduct the
amount of duty payable on the raw materials from the entry book, where upon the
raw materials shall directly be transferred to the private warehouse in the premises of
the production site.
• Customs formalities shall be carried out in the producer's private warehouse.
Bonded Manufacturing Warehouse
Beneficiaries of Bonded Manufacturing Warehouse Scheme are producers wholly
engaged in exporting their products who are not eligible to use the Voucher Scheme and
who have license that enables them to operate such warehouse. Persons or organizations
that can be beneficiaries of Bonded Manufacturing Warehouse Scheme are persons who
have fulfilled the following conditions: Have manufacturing license; have a warehouse that
fully complies with all the requirements provided for by customs laws and regulations; that
pay allowances to customs officials assigned in the warehouse and license fees as determined
by law; present evidence showing that they have ensured the warehouse; that can provide
Customs Authority their annual export plan showing the type, quantity and value of the
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 33
products they intend to export during the year, and the raw materials they import to use in
the manufacturing of the products; and submit input-output coefficients.
As for the procedures for application of Bonded Manufacturing Warehouse Scheme:
• The customs official and the exporter shall jointly lock the licensed warehouse;
• The exporter who imports raw materials shall complete transit formalities at the port
of arrival and the raw materials shall directly be transferred to the warehouse. All
necessary formalities shall be completed at the warehouse.
By way of a final remark, it is worth mentioning that the revised proclamation imposes strict
discipline on the violators of the forgoing incentive scheme whose severity increases with the
recurrence of the offence.
The second set of incentives intended to promote export trade relate to export financing.
A brief description of these set of incentives is given below:
(a) Export Credit Guarantee Scheme (Directive No. SBB/33/2002)
The scheme provides non-coffee exporters access to pre-shipment and post-shipment
finance equivalent to the volume of the previous year's export proceeds without any
collateral requirement for existing exporters and with 20% and 30% collateral requirement
for new producer-exporters and new exporters, respectively. Both the pre- and post-
shipment guarantees are provided to a maximum of 180 days. Pre-shipment finance meets
the working capital requirements between the time of receipt of the order and the time of
shipment. It normally covers procurement of raw materials for the export goods, processing
or manufacturing of the export goods, packaging of the export goods, costs of special
inspection or tests required of the importer, transportation of the goods to seaport or airport
or railway sides of departure or destination (depending on the delivery terms), ports, customs
and shipping agents' charge, freight and insurance charges depending on which it is (CFR or
CIF contract), cost of documentation, port handling operations, warehousing, etc. Post -
shipment finance represents bridging finance - working capital provided to the exporter for
the time interval between the shipment of the goods and receipt of payment from the
importer. The fund enables the exporter to continue in business during this period.
(b) External Loan and Suppliers or Foreign Partners Credit (Directive No.
REL/005/2002)
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 34
This scheme is meant to allow exporters access to foreign short-, medium- and long-
term financing means. Using this scheme, exporters can acquire capital goods, raw materials,
semi-finished goods, spare parts and other such inputs using foreign sources of finance.
(c) Franco Valuta Scheme for Import of Raw Materials for Export Processing
The Franco Valuta scheme enables exporters to acquire raw materials and intermediate
inputs from their foreign partners who may be working on international sub-contracting
basis, technical and marketing arrangements, FDI or joint venture.
(d) Retention and Utilization of Export Earnings and Inward Remittances (Directive No.
FXD/11/1998)
Under this scheme, the Government has allowed exporters to retain the foreign
exchange they themselves earn in two types of foreign exchange accounts: Retention
Account A allows exporters to hold indefinitely 10% of their export earnings in foreign
currency with banks, use it for their export-related activities and also sell it to commercial
banks at an agreed rate of exchange. Retention Account B allows exporters to use the
remaining 90% of export earnings for export-related activities but within a period of 28 days
and also sell it to commercial banks at an agreed rate of exchange. If the exporter fails to
utilizes her/his foreign exchange earnings within 28 days, then the foreign exchange earnings
will be changed into local currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the next day.
2.3 Mode of Payment
Pursuant to the authority vested in it by Article 39(1) and (2) of the Monetary and
banking Proclamation No. 83/1994, National Bank of Ethiopia authorizes commercial banks
to handle foreign exchange payment services and incoming payments involving imports and
exports. The following paragraphs provide a concise and cursory description of modes of
payment for imports and exports. Further information can be obtained by
importers/exporters from the NBE and the international banking departments of the
commercial banks in Ethiopia.
Concerning exports, all payments should be made in foreign exchange by transfers
through banks and payments using the appropriate instruments or by the debit of a "Non-
Resident Transferable Birr or Foreign Currency Account" maintained with commercial
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 35
banks by their corresponding banks abroad. Commercial banks are authorized to allow
exports other than coffee (for which NBE issues export permits by applying procedures and
requirements that are similar with those of other exports). The modes of payments in the
case of exports are LC (on sight and on acceptance), CAD (on sight and on acceptance),
Consignment and Advance Payment. Advance payment may be in the form of bank
transfers, travelers cheques bought by the purchaser from abroad or cash notes provided
that the purchaser presents a signed and sealed Customs Declaration Form.
Bills of Lading, airway bill or any other document evidencing shipment of goods
from Ethiopia to any destination abroad shall be made out to the order of a bank duly
licensed to operate in Ethiopia or the opening bank abroad for payment arrangements on
letter of credit (L/C) and cash against document (CAD). However, Bill of Lading or Airway
Bill can be issued in the name of the buyer or his/her agent for advance payment and
consignment forms of payment arrangement. Commercial banks bear the responsibility for
ensuring that the export proceeds for all export permits approved are repatriated into the
country within 90 days from the date of issue of export permits for all applicable modes of
payments.
In the case of CAD (on sight or on acceptance), the maximum allowable amount for a
single export permit is USD 30,000.00 and subsequent permit is issued only upon the full
repatriating of the allowable amount. Commercial banks may allow export applications on cash
basis to the tune of the amount that has been converted by the buyer while they may issue
permits on consignment sales basis for selected goods against undertaking letter issued by an
applicant stating its responsibility for the repatriation of the sales proceeds in addition to the
documents required in the case of the other modes of payment. The consignment sale are only
applicable to perishable items such as fruits, cut flowers, unfrozen meat, live animals, and
molasses and other items as may be approved by the NBE.
With regard to imports, there are three applicable modes of payment: Letter of Credit
(LC), Cash Against Documents (CAD) and Advance (up to a limited amount only). To import
goods using an LC documents required are import application form showing NBE's importer's
account number and HS codes; three copies of Proforma invoices showing clearly the full
description of goods, modes of shipment, terms of payment, unit price and total amount of
the goods to be paid at a named place of delivery; photocopy of valid trade license for foreign
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 36
trade, investment or industry; insurance certificate issued by local insurance company and
documents showing the settlement of commitment for previous imports if any.
With regard to the use of the CAD mode of payment, importers have to submit
Purchase Order (PO) for prior approval from banks in addition to those documents required
for the LC mode. PO presented for prior approval by importers should include, among others,
details of the place of cargo discharge. Importers who wish to import goods by effecting
Advance Payment are required to submit a letter of undertaking to assure the entry of the
goods into the country in addition to the documents required in the case of other modes of
payment. The amount that would be approved for advance payment cannot exceed USD
5,000.00. In cases where the importer wishes to make payment under a telegraphic transfer for
more than this amount, s/he shall submit foreign bank guarantee confirmed by local banks.
However, bank guarantee will not be required if transactions are to be debited to a Non-
Resident Accounts or Retention Account.
In addition to the above modes of payment, importers can also use Supplier's Credit and
External Loans to import goods. Such forms of financing are part of the incentive structures
devised for the explicit purpose of export and investment promotion and are described in
detail in a separate sub-section above.
Full details of regulations pertaining to modes of payment and financial matters
of import-export trade are attached towards the end of this Manual as Annex III.
2.4 Mode of Transport, Access to the Sea and Transit Regulations
Ethiopian exporters have five choices regarding transporting goods to an international
market. These are sea, air, rail, road and multimodal services. The choice of the modes of
transport depends on factors such as weight and volume of the goods, packaging
characteristics and the route.
As Ethiopia's major export products are agricultural commodities and also since the
major trading partners are across the Red Sea and the Atlantic, maritime mode of
transportation is the most widely used particularly from seaports. Air transportation is a
secure and very fast method which usually needs little packaging, and has a low cost of
capital locked with the goods but is usually the most expensive method. Currently, it is the
preferred mode of transportation for vegetables, cut flowers, meat and meat products from
Ethiopia. Road transport in Ethiopia can be used to transport goods to neighboring
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 37
countries and other African countries and to transport goods to seaports. There are
highways that connect Ethiopia to all neighboring countries including Kenya, Sudan, Eritrea,
Djibouti and Somalia. Unlike in the case of road transportation, the Ethio-Djibouti Rail Way
is the only rail transportation available in Ethiopia. It connects Addis Ababa to the Port of
Djibouti and is often used to ship export products to the Djibouti market and the Port of
Djibouti. Ethiopian export products are usually shipped to the seaports either by road
transport or rail transport while use of containers is the preferred method of transportation
in a multimodal transportation.
Ethiopia is a land locked country. It has a port utilization agreement with several
neighboring countries. Currently, by far the bulk of Ethiopian exports and imports are
handled at the Port of Djibouti.
In accordance with Articles 24-26 of customs Proclamation 60/1997, any goods in
transit shall accomplish transit formalities at the customs port of departure before the
commencement of transit operation. A clearing agent licensed by the Customs Authority is
the one who should move the goods under the cover of guarantee prescribed by the
Authority. All transit goods should arrive at the port of customs destination in the condition
prescribed in the transit documents before the operation starts. Customs Clearing Agent
shall report forthwith the arrival of the goods to the customs destination offices, in
accordance with Article 25(1) of the law. Goods-in-transit shall be imported through
prescribed customs ports and be transported through allowed transit routes. Pursuant to
Article 26(2) of Customs Proclamation 60/1997, customs ports and transit routes are
determined and prescribed in public notice issued by the Ministry of Revenue as the Ministry
is the supervisory body of Ethiopian Customs Authority.
2.5 Mode of Delivery
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has developed Incoterms
(International Commercial Terms) such as FOB. CIF, etc. that state the respective
responsibilities of the buyer and seller regarding matters such as transport costs, transfer of
risks, customs clearance and insurance. Incoterms 2000 is the latest version of Incoterms
published by ICC in the year 2000 and contains 13 Incoterms. Commercial contracts should
therefore explicitly refer to them by the term "Incoterm 2000". For the purpose of this
manual, three of the Incoterms, vis., FOB, CIF and CFR have been briefly elaborated below.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 38
a. FOB - Free On Board (...named port of shipment)
"Free On Board" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail at the
named port of shipment. This means that the buyer has to bear all the costs and risks of loss
of or damage to the goods from that point. The FOB term requires the seller to clear the
goods for export. This term can be used only for sea or inland waterway transport.
b. CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight (...named port of destination)
"Cost, Insurance and Freight" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the
ship's rail in the port of shipment. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to
bring the goods to the named port of destination BUT the risk of loss of or damage to the
goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are
transferred from the seller to the buyer. However in CIF the seller also has to procure
marine insurance against the buyer's risk of loss of or damage to the goods during the
carriage. Consequently, the seller contracts for insurance and pays the insurance premium.
The buyer should note that under CIF term the seller is required to obtain insurance
only on minimum cover. Should the buyer wish to have the protection of greater cover, s/he
should either need to agree as such expressly with the seller or to make her/his own extra
insurance arrangements. The CIF term also requires the seller to clear the goods for export.
Similar to the FOB term, the CIF term also can be used only for sea and inland waterway
transport.
c. CFR (Cost and Freight)
"Cost and Freight" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail in
the port of shipment. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods
to the named port of destination BUT the risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as
any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are transferred from
the seller to the buyer. The CFR term requires the seller to clear the goods for export. This
term can be used only for sea and inland waterway transport.

Chapter Three: Provisions of Export Market Development
Services
3.1 Market Intelligence Services
For the purpose of this manual, market intelligence services expected from Ethiopian
diplomatic Mission involves collecting and analyzing data; and forecasting current export
market conditions, tendencies and future trends. The first step in the process of providing
this service is to conduct a need assessment for trade intelligence service. To this end, the
Mission has to collect information from the beneficiaries of the service. Based on this
information, it has to:
(I) Assess its human, financial and material resource capacity to provide the service;
and based on this assessment
(II) Identify priority trade promotion areas in terms of providing market intelligence
services.
After doing this, the Mission/the diplomat assigned for the task should perform the
following specific activities:
• Identify sources of market intelligence and information about market conditions and
trends of the host economy; and create business contacts with the relevant sources if
need be;
• Collect market intelligence and market trend data from the identified sources
through overt and covert means;
• Organize and compile the data and information;
• Analyze the data by using various analytical methods (such as SWOT analysis,
benchmarking, scenario planning, etc.) and by relating it to current political, social
and economic conditions;
• Based on the data and the analysis regarding the current conditions in the economy
of the host country, identify the market trends and prepare forecasts;
• Based on the analysis and forecasts, notify the relevant (Ethiopian) bodies about
market trends and prospects so that they could make preparations for changes that
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 40
may occur in the future; and provide such information whenever requests are
submitted to the Mission; and
• Constantly and vigilantly monitor all phenomena (that occur in the host country and)
that might have positive and/or negative impact on Ethiopian external trade and
promptly disseminate the information to the relevant bodies.
3.2 Export Market Research
In this context, market research means studying market opportunities and identifying
buyers for export products. The first step under this activity is to conduct desk research
regarding market opportunities for the country's exports. The thrust of such research should
encompass the following:
• Identify priority export products based on information about products and
exporters obtained from home institutions;
• Identify types, sources and means of obtaining data related to the flow and exchange
of export and import products in the host country;
• Collect information about the population size, level of economic development,
geography, purchasing power of the population, culture, currency, etc. of the host
country and analyze the market size, buying pattern and growth potential of the host
country market;
• Collect, organize and analyze statistical data of the host country related to the flow
of imports and exports, types and market shares of import items and - in accordance
with this information - rank Ethiopian export products' export potential;
• Assess the possibility for expanding the volume and market share of Ethiopia's
export products in the host market through a detailed comparison of host country
demand and Ethiopian exporters' supply trends;
• Identify Ethiopia's priority products that have high and reliable demand in the host
country but that are yet to be supplied by Ethiopia; and
• After compiling the collected data and preparing a general profile of the market of
the host country; and based on this profile, prepare a list of Ethiopian products for
which there is market potential and for which market research is needed.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 41
The second step under this activity relates to conducting field research to assess market
opportunities for Ethiopia's export products. To realize this, the following specific activities
have to be carried out:
• Collect and analyze data regarding supply capacity, volume, quality, samples, existing
defects, etc. of Ethiopia's export products for which the existence of market
opportunity has been ascertained in the first step;
• Identify the sources (public and private) and means (face to face interview,
telephone interview, mail survey, focus group interviews, etc) of obtaining the
necessary information and select the most appropriate sources and means;
• Collect extensive information regarding the type and volume, required quality
standard, packaging, price, system of payment and purchase order related to the
export products for which market opportunity has been identified during the desk
research - and using this information - identify the challenges and opportunities that
Ethiopia's exports might face in the market;
• Collect and compile information related to the import policies and systems of the
host country such as laws, rules and regulations pertaining to imports, tariff and
non-tariff barriers, documentation and preconditions required in order to export to
the country, mechanisms and systems of payment and government procurement
policies and - using this information - identify the opportunities and challenges
facing Ethiopian exporters to supply this market;
• Identify potential competitors in terms of supplying products that have high market
share and demand in the host country (This is to be done by collecting and
compiling information regarding their market share and participation, price, quality,
supply strategies, promotional strategies, etc.);
• Identify means and strategies for promoting, marketing and accessing the import
market of the host country (This involves, among others, collection and compilation
of information regarding import channels, buyers, their pre-conditions and buying
mechanisms, medium-term market growth forecast, consumption level and trend
and potential market segments.); and
• Based on compilation and analysis of the data gathered using various methods of
field research, conduct market study, clearly indicate the findings and report to the Headoffice.
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 42
The report should, among others, indicate the product development activities that
have to be performed in order to be able to supply reliable volume and quality
export products; measures that need to be taken in order to supply the market at
competitive prices; the best market entry channels; the most appropriate ways of
promoting exports to the host market; and the most suitable buyers, importers and
distributors together with their profiles. (See Annex IV: Outline of Product Market
Research.)
3.3 Export Promotion and Marketing Services
Prior to actually conducting the promotion activities, the Mission and/or the
concerned diplomat should gather the information needed to identify the most appropriate
means and way to promote Ethiopian export products in the potential market. To this end,
assessing the promotion methods that have previously been applied in that market and their
outcomes is important. It is also important to gather and analyze information related to the
strategies used by other developing countries to promote their exports in that market and
their best practices. It should be noted that international trade fairs, exhibitions, shows and
store promotion activities are considered the most effective means of market promotion for
the products from various countries. Based on the information so gathered and the
conclusions thereby drawn, the Mission has to identify the most appropriate ways and means
of promoting Ethiopian products in the host country's market and perform the following set
of specific activities:

Transfer
4.1 Identification of Imports
The task of identifying of reasonably priced and quality imports and reporting the
findings should be preceded by the obtaining of adequate information related to appropriate
technologies and priority intermediate and final products from the Headquarters and other
relevant offices. Such information includes, among others, technology needs of the country,
intermediate inputs and priority import items that are of particular importance to sectors that
are identified in the strategies of the Government as top priority. The Mission also has to
obtain (from the Headquarters and other relevant authorities) appropriate specifications for
the products. Based on such information, it should perform the following specific activities:
• Identify and collect information about the producers and suppliers of the products;
• Based on the information collected, rank the products and their suppliers (or
producers) in accordance with their appropriateness to the Ethiopian climatic and
other conditions, price competitiveness, quality, supplier reliability, reputation, etc.;
and identify the most appropriate product and/or supplier according to the rankings;
• Make contacts with the producers/suppliers and cross-check the reliability of the
information about the appropriate technologies, inputs and priority import products.
(This may include field visits to the sites of the producers/suppliers.);
• Conduct further in-depth study of the producers/suppliers of the products and
technologies, prepare their detailed profiles and report the findings of the study and
the profile to the Headquarters. (The subsequent dissemination of the results to the

Chapter Six: Handling Trade Related Enquiries, Disputes and
Complaints
6.1 Handling Trade Related Enquiries
6.1.1 General Enquiries
Trade related enquiries of general nature, such as list of export products, names and
addresses of exporters of specific products in Ethiopia, etc should be answered by the
officials in the Mission to the extent of the availability of information in the Mission. All
information furnished by the trade promotion bodies in Ethiopia should be well perused and
frequently browsed by the Mission officials.
6.1.2 Specific Enquiries
The enquiries related to foreign trade and mainly related to imports of products from
Ethiopia which are not of general nature and which can not be answered by the officials of
the Mission should be recorded in a form given in Annex V and be forwarded to Economic
and Business Affairs Directorate General in the Headquarters by e-mail, fax and depending
on the importance and urgency of the enquiry, by express mail, for necessary action. The
potential importer of Ethiopian products is likely to make enquiries on some of the
following subjects:
• Information on products such as quantity, availability, quality standards, technical
specification, price list (CIF, C&F, or FOB), time of delivery, packaging, etc.
• Product literature, photographs, catalogues, samples, etc;
• Method of payment (advance payment or irrevocable letter of credit) and shipment
by air or by sea;
• Export formalities and other rules of Ethiopia; etc.
6.2 Handling Trade Disputes and Complaints
The first step in this regard is to identify the main causes of trade related disagreements
and disputes. Such causes, among others, include the following: misunderstandings; late
delivery of goods; non-delivery of goods; delay in payment or non-payment; dissatisfaction
Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions
FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs 57
over the quantity or quality of goods; non-collection of goods; ambiguous contract terms;
differing customs and practices; and problems of quarantine laws, standards, and procedures.
There are several methods of settling disputes or complaints:
• Amicable Settlement: The dispute can be settled through a factual investigation and
the problem resolved in a friendly manner. In this case, the staff of the Mission
can help both parties in settling the problems most positively under a cordial
environment.
• Independent Arbitrator: Amicable solution may not be possible in all case. A second
alternative is to appoint an independent arbitrator.
• Legal Procedures: This is the case where a dispute or complaints may be settled by a
National or International Court.
• Settlement of disputes through the chamber-to-chamber system, including the in
International Chamber of Commerce.
The official(s) of the Mission should be involved if amicable settlement is the possible
solution to the problem of dispute or complaint. In case other alternatives are chosen by the
parties, the Mission will have no role apart from recommending or providing names and
addresses of the competent and reliable lawyers if requested by the concerned party. In case
of amicable settlement, the Mission should follow the following procedures:
• Collect all the facts from both parties to the dispute;
• Collect supportive documents, evidence from the institutions involved in the trade
transaction, such as banks , post offices, customs, trade associations, chambers,
carriers, forwarding and clearing agents, etc.;
• Study all the documents, and also the points of complaint or dispute; make own
judgment, establish the reason for the dispute and recommend the possible solution;
and get advice from experts or other relevant bodies if necessary before any possible
solution is recommended;
