The Ethiopian Customs Commission (ECC) has fully digitalized its services in order to provide fast and modern services for customers, particularly for importers and exporters.
In exclusive interview with ENA, Ethiopian Customs Commission (ECC) Deputy Commissioner Azezew Chane said the commission has been undertaking various measures to digitalize services since the introduction of the Digital Ethiopia 2025 strategy.
Digital economy is one of the main pillars of the economic sector in the Homegrown Economic Reform, he added.
Accordingly, the commission has established a digital system that enables importers and exporters to execute their activities online.
The Electronic Single Window (ESW system), which integrates more than 70 institutions, allows traders to submit all import/export related requirements in batch, playing a significant role in reducing process costs related with application, process delay and duplication of documents, the Deputy Commissioner noted.
