Ethiopia Waives Import Duties on Natural Gas–Powered Vehicles Following Launch of Domestic Gas Production: Finance Minister

All types of vehicles powered by dry or liquid natural gas, including public transportation vehicles, will be exempt from customs duties and permitted to enter the country freely, Ahmed Shide noted.

“The government has decided to promote the use of natural gas because it reduces our foreign exchange expenditure on fuel imports,” Ahmed added.

The directive also bans the import of gasoline- and diesel-powered freight and passenger vehicles—except those already approved before the directive was issued or expected to arrive within six months.
