Ethiopian Customs Commission Streamlines Import Procedures for Manufacturers

0

The Ethiopian Customs Commission (ECC) has announced a significant policy change aimed at expediting the release of imported goods used in the manufacturing sector. Under the new directive, importers will now be granted waivers for the release of their items upon presenting the original invoice, a shift designed to enhance efficiency and reduce delays in cargo clearance.


Previously, importers faced lengthy assessments to verify the true pricing of their imported products, which often resulted in delays that hindered production schedules. The ECC’s latest circular, signed by Commissioner Debele Kabeta on January 22, outlines these adjustments as part of an effort to address concerns raised by industrialists regarding cargo delays at clearance points.


The new directive modifies an existing order that has been in place for six years, reflecting the government’s commitment to support the manufacturing sector by facilitating quicker access to essential materials. The circular emphasizes that while the initial clearance process will be expedited, any outstanding dues will still be addressed through post-clearance procedures.
“This adjustment is crucial for speeding up the importation of commodities necessary for our manufacturing industries,” stated Commissioner Debele. “We are committed to ensuring that our policies align with the needs of our industrialists and contribute positively to Ethiopia’s economic growth.”
