Directive No. 923-2014 on Determining Goods Imported or Exported for Personal Use
Ethiopia’s Directive No. 923/2014, issued by the Ministry of Finance, establishes a modernized framework for the duty-free importation and exportation of personal goods to curb illegal trade and align with international customs standards. Effective as of August 29, 2022, the regulation defines strict eligibility and quantity limits for international passengers, returning residents, and foreign professionals, allowing for essential items like electronics, tobacco, and medicines while capping personal gifts at a value of $1,000 USD. By mandating a six-month window for importing personal effects and introducing a uniform tariff for items exceeding set limits, this directive provides much-needed clarity for travelers and the Ethiopian diaspora while ensuring more transparent revenue collection at the country’s borders.
