What importers should know about the Djibouti–Ethiopia corridor

2026-05-01 · AHAW Communications

Most of Ethiopia’s seaborne cargo still enters through the Port of Djibouti. The journey inland is a documentation, border, and trucking problem as much as a distance problem.

Typical delays sit at three points: incomplete customs files before the vessel arrives, staging at Galafi, and last-mile access in Addis or regional cities for oversized loads.

AHAW’s corridor practice is built to close those gaps — paperwork tracked with the truck, not after it.
