What Ethiopia charges on a battery electric (bev)

Assessed on: Customs value (CIF) converted to birr at the customs exchange rate. Customs can replace your invoice with its own valuation. VAT is charged on customs value plus duty. The social welfare levy and the 3% advance income tax are left out of the VAT base.

Charge Rate Calculated on

Social welfare levy 3.0% CIF value
Advance income tax (withholding on import) 3.0% CIF value
VAT 15.0% CIF plus duty
Only a battery-electric car has a rate stack here. The 2022 "tax-free EV" package has been partly unwound. VAT returned at 15% with the August 2024 VAT Proclamation, and the fully built duty is 15% or 20% depending on the source. The excise and 10% surtax exemptions for EVs are still reported as current, but we found them only in Ministry announcements and press, not in legal text. If either one lapses, the unit pays excise plus 10% surtax, and the 3% levy then drops away.
Before you quote: Petrol and diesel passenger cars cannot be imported into Ethiopia. The ban has applied since early 2024, was extended to SKD/CKD kits in May 2025 and to trucks in October 2025. We show no rates for them. Hybrids, PHEVs and EREVs have a combustion engine, and we found no primary text confirming they can be imported. Treat them as not importable unless Customs gives written admissibility and HS classification before the car leaves China. For a BEV, the biggest open item is the duty rate (15% or 20%). We could not reach the Customs Commission site on 2026-09-26 to settle it. Foreign-exchange approval from your bank is often a harder constraint than the tax itself.
