Looking for reliable shipping from the USA to Ethiopia? Many US stores won't ship to Ethiopia or charge high fees. Global Shopaholics gives you a free, tax-free US address for Ethiopia at our Delaware warehouse. We log and photograph every parcel on arrival, remove bulky store packaging on request, combine your orders into one box to cut the billed weight, and send it with tracking to Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa or anywhere in Ethiopia by DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS.

The Ethiopian Customs Commission charges customs duty at the tariff rate for each item, plus excise on some goods. VAT of 15% and a 10% surtax are then added, and a 3% withholding tax is charged on the CIF value. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in Ethiopia can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Shipping costs to Ethiopia depend on the billed weight of your consolidated box and the carrier you choose. Delivery from the USA to Ethiopia usually takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. The lowest prices come from consolidation: let several US orders arrive at your Delaware address, ship them together in one box, and pick the slowest service that still meets your deadline. We deliver to Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, Hawassa, Bahir Dar, Adama, Gondar and Jimma.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for Ethiopia or compare our subscription plans.
