E-mail Print PDF

Importers to Ethiopia are required to pay Import (Customs) duty, Withholding Tax (a fixed rate of 3%), Excise Tax (if applicable), VAT (a fixed rate of 15%) and Surtax (a fixed rate of 10%).

Tariff Calculator:

Total Cost of the goods = FOB Cost + Insurance + Freight


Total Cost of the goods x Import Customs Duty = A


(Total Cost of the goods + A) x Excise Tax Rate (If applicable) = B


(Total Cost of the goods + A + B) x VAT = C


(Total Cost of the goods + A + B + C) x Surtax = D


Total Cost of the goods x Withholding Tax = E



TOTAL PAYABLE at THE TIME OF IMPORT = A+B+C+D+E

Note:There are some goods that may be exempted from one or more of the taxes and duties mentioned above. To find out more, one can visit http://www.erca.gov.et/download.php to download the tariff book, and, http://www.erca.gov.et/taxcalclient.php where one can find an online tax calculator.
