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

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 multilateral 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.

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

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 freemarket 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
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

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).

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.

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

The composition of Ethiopian exports for the year 2006 is appended herewith.

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
The composition and origin of Ethiopian imports for the year 2006 is attached as an appendix at the end of this manual.

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

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

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

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

21

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

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

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

24

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.

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;

Adapted from MOTI (December 2006), Memorandum on Foreign Trade Regime: Ethiopia, Addis Ababa.

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

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

27

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

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

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

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

29

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

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.

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

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 reexporting 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 31

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

32

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 postshipment 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) 33

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

This scheme is meant to allow exporters access to foreign short-, medium- and longterm 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. 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 "NonResident Transferable Birr or Foreign Currency Account" maintained with commercial Further information can be obtained by importers/exporters from the NBE and the international banking departments of the

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, 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 NonResident 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

36

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.

FDRE Ministry of Foreign Affairs

37

Trade Promotion Manual for Ethiopian Diplomatic Missions

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.
