    Land Transport Arrangement to Ethiopia Dry Port

    It is mostly recommended to make arrangement with a local transport agent who deals in transporting cars from Djibouti port to the dry port of Ethiopia. At ECE Motors, our vessels deliver to Djibouti port as a final destination and it is our customer’s responsibility to make final delivery to dry port in Ethiopia.

    The last one in our list is Budget, as it is very important to have enough fund to cover all the expenses of the new car you are importing. Once you gets into the import process, fund must be available to get your car from the destination port immediately it arrives. Otherwise, unwanted port charges like demurrage will comes in.
