Import Policy & Certification

What is the Ethiopia ICE import restriction?

Ethiopia bans ICE vehicle imports; we can't ship them, but we offer LHD-evergreen used 4x4s via alternative routes.

Ethiopia currently prohibits the import of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, including pickup trucks and SUVs, to promote electric mobility. This restriction applies to all new and used ICE vehicles, so we cannot ship them directly to Ethiopia.

However, RuggedRides Export can help you explore alternative markets in the region, such as Djibouti or Kenya, where ICE imports are allowed. We have 98 models in stock, including GWM, JAC, and Foton, and we handle all export documentation (e.g., KEBS PVoC for Kenya) and ship via RoRo or container to 27 countries.
