How to bring your car to Ethiopia

Hello everybody,

If you exported your car to Ethiopia, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they?

What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of the vehicle? Are there limits on emissions or emission controls in Ethiopia?

What are the expected costs of exporting a car? In your opinion, is it worth it?

Once you arrived in Ethiopia, what were the applicable taxes? What was the customs process like?

How do you go about registering an imported car in Ethiopia?

Is it best to buy a car once you have arrived or to bring your car with you, in your opinion?

We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi I am Syed,

I did not bring my car to ethiopia.
I feel you could get the best advice if you contact the Indian Embassy here.

Dear Bhavana,

I did not bring my car with me here, and that is my biggest regret.
You can bring your car, as cars in Addis are very costly and always imported.

You can check with others comment, as I m not the best judge on it, but still what i feel and know share with you
